Conversational Swarm Intelligence and Collaborative Problem Solving
Conversational Swarm Intelligence (CSI) demonstrates the benefits of using ChatGPT 3.5 to summarize discussions within separate chat rooms in real-time. An experiment with 25 participants across five chat rooms showed a 30% increase in contributions and a 7% reduction in variance, enhancing engagement and coordination. This method allows for effective idea transmission across platforms like Discord and Slack, addressing the common challenge of information fragmentation in digital communication. By fostering idea cross-pollination, this approach aims to diminish echo chambers and enrich conversations, potentially aiding in significant discussions around social issues like climate change and universal basic income.
