“Let me see what Chatty thinks,” (or whatever humanesque name becomes popular).
I assume people will treat it just like talking to a very knowledgeable friend. Just ask a question, get a response, clarify what you meant or ask a followup question, and so on. Conversation in natural language already comes naturally to humans, so probably a lot more people will become a lot more adept at accessing knowledge.
And in future iterations, this “friend” will be able to create art, weave stories, design elucidating infographics, make entertaining music videos, teach academic subjects, try to sell you stuff (hmm), spread conspiracy theories (oops), etc., based on the gist of what it thinks you’re looking for (and based on what it knows about you personally from your history of “friendship” with it). It would be nice if we could make it truthful and cooperative in a way that doesn’t amplify the echo chamber effect of existing social media and search engines, but unfortunately, I don’t see that as being very profitable for those deploying it.
