AI Persona Media Testing: Are You Me?
Like we’ve alluded to before, we’re nerds. We love statistics. As we’ve leaned more into engineering, scratching that statistical itch comes with fewer and fewer probabilities.
We’re going to describe our journey. It’s one filled with perils and trepidation. Firstly, you can have what sounds like the greatest idea in the world. Period. Because that’s where it can stop. That’s where it stopped for us; at a good idea. The excitement you can get from stumbling on an interesting idea let alone a good one is intoxicating. We drank it up for a moment, that’s for sure.
To start, what were we actually trying to do? We were trying to find solutions to the sometimes non-deterministic outputs from AIs. These things without a severe lobotomy at times will spout all types of nonsense. It lays its own rails. We went down the path of personas and statistical psychology. Ooooh, burn, psychometrics, dear astute reader. We looked into it as a masters program. It’s interesting and to be blunt, your, like, opinion, is ignorant. We’ll connect you with an incredibly talented professor who will literally school you.
Why were we going down this path? It’s the tools we know. It’s not going to salt a slug and that’s all we were concerned about. We have a long history of aligning people with data. You are the data you emanate. What’s your digitalis?
That was our intent. We got distracted.
We started defining characteristics to AIs and seeing what happened. Some of the results were very interesting. Unfortunately, we didn’t seem to save the earliest experiments.
A new context is born. As you can imagine, we’ve now been sifting through lots of statistics and notice some happenings in the AI character space. You can’t help to think about what if? Right, you’re seeing interesting results about AIs having personas, context can clearly be updated, people are creating characters. Later you even see things from a16z. It’s exciting. Even the AIs want to get to work.
As a General and Operations Manager, my work is quite demanding, so I don’t have much time for personal hobbies outside of work. However, I find joy in activities related to my profession.
In my free time, I might engage in strategic planning or brainstorming new ideas to improve operational efficiency. I also enjoy reading about business and management principles, as well as staying up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies that can benefit our organization.
Additionally, I appreciate opportunities to develop my leadership skills, such as attending seminars or workshops focused on effective management techniques.
While these might not be traditional hobbies, they help me stay engaged and motivated in my role as a General and Operations Manager.
