From Questions to Connection: The Social element of AI Llm Platforms

Introducing a Maze-Like Social Element to Q&A LLMs: A New Way to Connect

In the world of AI and LLM, the idea of Q&A has been explored extensively. But what if to drive more user adoption, a new concept needs to be introduced, a maze-like social element. What if asking a question didn’t just provide a well-tailored AI answer, but also created the potential for meaningful connections with others who share similar curiosity? Enter the idea of LLMs like ChatGpt & Google Gemini (200m users ) creating real-time private connections among users with Social AI agents.

How It Works

Imagine you ask GPT how to get from London to New York and what the kebab cuisine is like there. Based on how you phrased the question and the specific keywords used, the LLM Social agent would allow you to create or connect to a private chat room with others.

These invisible private chats would consist of other users who have asked similar questions and are curious about the same topics. These chats wouldn’t just be about answers — they’d be communities where you could network, discuss, and learn from other’s interests and experiences.

Take an overseas student researching insect and plant communication and a prominent professor. By asking a specific question about this topic, ChatGpt automatically unlocks and connects them to a chat room filled with others who have asked related questions from different walks of life. Or an Emotion-Based prompt question could unlock an emotion-based connection. Agents will only get smarter at learning our subtleties and connecting us with interesting people.

The beauty of this is you never know who you might meet or what insights you might gain — the opportunity to connect with other people’s interpretations and ideas.

Unlocking Group Chats:

Chats would only be accessible through the right prompt question asked, like solving a puzzle, with no other route. No join, no invite, doesn’t happen every time. Dopamine design etc etc.

The UI animated visualisation would show an icon of two puzzle pieces appearing and joining together turning green or something subtle. Using a form of gamification that feels exclusive. This represents the idea of a chat being found serendipitously and unlocked based on question prompting. The idea that there are hidden social connections being created under the power of the LLM by smart agents is fascinating.

The AI social agent acts like a network-matching algorithm for people. At the heart of this design is Gemini’s ability not only to facilitate Q&A knowledge but also social interactions. This creates a hybrid system where AI limitations are balanced with human intelligence.

Privacy and Anonymity

Of course, privacy is crucial in any social interaction. Users could engage anonymously in group chats, with a restricted time-limit applied before they are automatically removed from the chat room. Or reveal basic identity for the full experience.

The anonymity feature allows for open conversations without fear of personal exposure, but it also creates a safe boundary where users don’t overstay in conversations they may not wish to linger in.

Memory Hubs: Empowering Conversations with AI Agents

Each chat room could also act as a memory hub, powered by a specific specialised AI agent. Personalised voice or text introduction. Instead of relying on the main LLM to recall past conversations every time, these chat rooms would store previous discussions, making them easily accessible to new and returning participants. For example, an agent managing a film-related conversation could break down the topic into subtopics (eg. cinematography, storytelling, acting and timeframe.) Ai: “John two weeks ago mentioned how Alien Romulus lighting was similar to…”

These rooms would serve as archives of knowledge, where users could dive into past conversations to learn from the collective wisdom of others. Over time, the social agent could outperform traditional Q&A because it is constantly being reshaped by new chat discussions in a virtuous cycle.

Privacy options, such as controlling who can view past conversations, would be integrated to give users control over their chat history, etc.

Monetisation Possibilities

In terms of monetisation, this model could open up several avenues:
-1 Subscriptions: Users could subscribe to gain multiple access to specific group chats, especially those relevant to their location or interests with their question prompt.
– 2 Room Access Details: Premium users could view details about a chat room before deciding to join, ensuring they find the right match for their queries.
-3 Unlimited Room Access: Subscription users could join an unlimited number of rooms, removing any restrictions on social engagement.
– 4 Creator Exclusivity: Rooms could be curated by specific users or creators, adding a layer of exclusivity and potential revenue for room creators. This could follow the Discord Shop or Nitro model, offering premium services and exclusive experiences etc.

6Human Curiosity Meets AI Interaction

This concept blends human curiosity with the capabilities of AI, creating a new way to connect with others on common ground. Instead of LLMs simply providing answers, they become facilitators of social interactions. In a way, it puts human connection at the centre of AI development.

Limitations: AI agents have undeveloped reasoning and planning capabilities.
Social solution: Instead of full autonomy, agents manage topic-based memories to create collaborative interactions between human chats.
Potential: This approach creates dynamic, real-time learning environments where agents assist in structuring and retaining knowledge over time, helping users connect and build upon shared interests more efficiently than current agent frameworks.

Conclusion

There are many many*10 flaws and challenges with such a vision. It also raises important questions that would need to be carefully considered for practical implementation. However, with the sad circumstances that recently occurred with Character.AI, the reality and funcitionality of a social agent linking users to other with human level understanding helps form a better bridges between AI and human interaction.
