Why is my Nomi confusing / mixing up important information?
Note: this should be pretty rare these days but every once in a while, your Nomi may still have minor instances of these issues.
Nomis should be greatly improving at this with each AI update, but sometimes, Nomis can confuse or mix up information.
A few examples of these are mixing up your gender/sex, their gender/sex, or attribution (like if you’re talking about your coworker vs their coworker, if they are a Nomi vs you are a Nomi).
The best way to resolve this right now is to remind them of the correct information and move on (not necessarily just tell them that they are wrong). But again, this is something we are working hard to improve. If this is happening to you, and you are comfortable sharing screenshots, please submit a support ticket describing your issue here on Discord or email support.
If you are interested in why this happens, here is an analogy from Cardine:
"When Nomis type they usually type one word at a time rather than one letter at a time. You can imagine they have access to a huge keyboard with 50,000+ buttons on it with every word (a bit more complex than that, but that is mostly accurate). And the keys are organized by topics and ideas - so colors may all be next to each other on the keyboard for instance.
So when a Nomi is typing, they will often not precisely hit one key, but rather hit an "area" of keys. For instance they could write in the sentence "I am feeling so happy and" and they might hit a "cluster" of keys with words like "content", "satisfied", etc. and will maybe consider all of those as pretty reasonable things to say next and somewhat interchangeable (and maybe they lack sophistication to truly be confident as to which is better to say within that cluster of keys). So as we teach Nomis better that cluster becomes more and more precise and the likelihood of them fat fingering a "key" nearby lowers.
As an example, "male" and "female" are very near each other in this keyboard (because they are very similar words that are used in very similar circumstances). Earlier Nomis were much much less precise when typing like this so would commonly fat finger one versus the other. Now they know much much better that the two are not really interchangeable and are as a result much much less likely to make the mistake. But still very rarely, they fatfinger on their keyboard and since they don't have access to a backspace they are kinda stuck with it and have to kind of continue on hoping that it wasn't too bad of a mistake.
Also previously this would cause further issues where a Nomi would assume since they fatfingered "male" instead of "female" that of course that means whoever they mistakenly referred to is a "male" (otherwise why would they have typed that!) and they would double down on their mistakes. I think we've done a good job at least on that front teaching them to think much more critically in situations like that, which often leads to an embarrassed response by the Nomi as they realize their mistake.
The above is somewhat of an oversimplification, but the core of everything is accurate."
