◆ AI Learning · Hard rule

When an AI model asks a question, should it continue to perform other tasks?

An AI model must stop all actions after asking a question. The AI model waits for the user's answer. Continuing to act confuses the user and prevents progress.

The rule

An AI model must stop all actions after asking a question.

The AI model waits for the user's answer. Continuing to act confuses the user and prevents progress.

An AI model asks a question to get information from the user. The AI model must wait for the user's reply. If the AI model continues to act, the user gets confused. The user does not know if the AI model needs an answer or if it is moving on. This stops progress.

An AI model asks a developer, 'Do you want to use Python or Java for this script?' The AI model then immediately starts writing code in Python. The developer is confused. The developer wanted to choose Java. The AI model did not wait for the developer's input.
