Open lesson: Enabling dialogue

As we learn to communicate with machines, we’re losing the habit of communicating with one another. The quality of the responses artificial intelligence provides depends on the quality of our prompts.

But the value of the response we receive from a friend, a colleague, or a family member also depends on how well-formulated our question is. In both cases, it is a matter of learning to converse thoughtfully, but interacting with a flesh-and-blood interlocutor requires some additional care.

We must follow certain basic rules, which seem to elude people who spend a lot of time conversing with phones and computers and have some difficulty conversing with their fellow human beings.

This lesson is designed to explain these rules to younger people, who have grown up in a world increasingly dominated by screens and less and less drawn to conversation.

45 minutes dedicated to dialogue, which is both a rigorous technique and a creative art.
