Implementing Naturalistic Dialogue in AI Companions
Ever think, "This AI companion sounds odd"? You're onto something. Let's explore naturalistic dialogue and how it could change our digital interactions.
I've been focused on dialogue lately. Not the formal kind, but the type you'd hear between friends at a coffee shop. Conversations that flow, full of inside jokes and half-finished sentences that still make sense. Imagine if your AI companion could chat like that.
This post will define naturalistic dialogue, characterized by:
- Contextual efficiency: saying more with less
- Implicit references: alluding rather than stating
- Fragmentation: incomplete thoughts and imperfections
- Organic flow: spontaneity
We'll then examine AI-generated dialogue challenges and propose a solution using chain-of-thought reasoning and planning to craft more natural responses.
