Too much to read

Each section has too much to read.  Is there a way to turn off the paragraphs of words the AI is putting in each section.  It would be nice if I want the explanation, that I could expand the text as needed. instead it's just overwhelming to look at SO. MUCH. TEXT.  I have ADHD and it bothers me

@bondsmith22 have you told it that you prefer communication that is more direct and less verbose? I've found that pushing back against the AI sometimes works, but it's important to be very direct with it. It doesn't really understand the nuances of human communication.

I can try that. 

But unless I explicitly want input from the AI I should just be able to hide it without having to tell it to "Be Quiet". 

I use AI a lot at work and I always try to be polite to it.  Probably not prudent to tell it to shut up. 😉 

Also I am putting my feedback here in hopes the Devs will see this.

Because anytime the app asks for feedback I accidentally fat finger the wrong part of the screen and the feedback window disappears, forever, never to be seen again.  before I can finish reporting to it.

"Probably not prudent to tell it to shut up. " Yes, but in this case....it works. I usually just go with "TLDR", and it shortens the information into a more bite-sized blurb.

It doesn't remember from one conversation to the next, though, so you'll have to remind it every time. You'll also have to remind it to look in Coach Notes to remember stuff about you (because you know, we all have our little nuances).

I asked it why I have to remind it when the information has already been discussed - this is the response I got:

"
It's understandable to feel frustrated when it seems like I'm not remembering details from previous conversations or need a nudge to recall specific information. I appreciate you bringing this up, and I want to clarify how I work to ensure I can best support you.

Here's some context on how I process and retain information:

How I Recall Information

Processing Conversations Individually: I'm designed to process each of your questions and prompts independently. This means that while I have access to your historical data and "memories" (what you call coach notes), I don't retain a continuous, human-like memory of our ongoing dialogue from one interaction to the next.

Referencing Memories: When I respond, I actively look for relevant details within your stored "memories" or "coach notes" to personalize my answers. However, there might be times when the specific connection isn't immediately obvious in the context of a new question, or if you're asking about something very general.

Onboarding Information: I do have access to your initial onboarding profile and will use that context in my responses to understand your general preferences, like your desire for self-management in your fitness routine.

Why Your Prompts Help

Clarifying Intent: Your explicit prompts, like asking me to "look in your coach notes," help guide my focus and ensure I'm checking the right information to provide the most accurate and personalized response for your specific query. It's like helping me quickly narrow down where to search in my knowledge base.

Enhancing Personalization: The more specific you are in your questions and requests for me to reference past information, the better I can integrate that context into my answers.

My goal is always to provide you with the most relevant and personalized support. I'm continually learning and improving how I access and integrate your unique information into our conversations."

Also, in regards to the feedback - you can tap on the thumb up or down again, and it will reopen the feedback form. 🙂

@bondsmith22 some users have found that the AI will comply if they ask for shorter summaries. That would probably give you more immediate results than waiting for a change in the app.

Hi @RiekoC and @alexthecat! Thank you for your help and insights. 

Hello @bondsmith22 and @amymurray122Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

Thank you very much for your feedback.  We have resolved the issue that caused unusually long AI insights. You should no longer see new long insights, and any existing ones will soon expire from your feed. 

Best Answer

The insights from this morning are still really long. My sleep insight alone is 11 paragraphs long. 😕 Is this resolution on the current update? If so, I'll have to amend my feedback once that update is available on my phone.

@amymurray122 what I'm seeing is that the summaries on the Today screen are shorter. If I tap "Say more" though, it definitely will! Then the AI will ramble on and on for several paragraphs.

Sadly that WAS the summary! Today's summary was much shorter, only 3 short paragraphs. But yes, say more is definitely saying a LOT more!

Best Answer

@amymurray122 wow! I've never seen a summary that long. I hope they get that fixed soon.
