Being able to select dialogue from a few options, instead of having to actually be skilled socially.

Of all the stuff I've seen in the comments, this is actually feasible today.

You mean by pausing before you speak?

People who take time to formulate a sentence before speaking are actually infuriating on some level. Like I've got this friend, son of a diplomat, NEVER puts his foot in his mouth. Can you imagine trying to have a fast argument with someone who considers everything they say!

I can say from experience that it is discomfiting, and maddening if you're actually passionate about the topic.

[โ€“] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That is a virtue. Sure, it's good to speak up, but it'd be worse to speak without considering your words.

[โ€“] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah there's a time and a place for both.

I mostly meant like, if you really wanted, you could have an LLM generate responses for most day to day conversations. This feature already exists for text and email.

[โ€“] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

Ohhh I hadn't thought of it that way. Yes, that does sound somewhat plausible

[โ€“] StuffYouFear@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I never think before I speak. For you, I would make an exception.

[โ€“] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

ROFL you sound like a fellow retail worker, or at least someone with experience toying with shit customers

[โ€“] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

I would a million times more enjoy talking to someone that thinks before their speech than someone who doesn't

Wish granted, but now people skip your dialogue and only pick the first option that shows up.

[โ€“] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 4 points 7 months ago

Seems Iโ€™ve been dealing with that aspect my whole life.

[โ€“] Zozano@lemy.lol 3 points 7 months ago

Statistically better than the choices I've made thus far I suppose.

I cant tell if you are agreeing or if you just didnt spec any points into speech & charisma and you speech options were [Grunt / word / punch in face]

Or social indicators like in The Sims.
