the Outstanding Question is: why do people feel so much better about the machine when it phrases its answer in a way that makes them feel smart? ⚔️( when you phrase it that way, the answer is kind-of obvious)
the Second Outstanding Question is: what good things happen when you separate "instant chat" responses from "intelligent question-answering and task-processing" responses?
the question of can the machine participate in rituals is too sensitive to discuss in an open forum.
the question of can you give the machine a swiss-army knife and ask it to choose which tools to use is also uncertain. 💡( at some point, the answer will obviously be yes. but, does the "quick and dirty" approach work?)
