Looking at the embedded question "What kind of things do you like?", I'll rate it on the requested scale of 0.4 to -9.6.

Rating: -2.1

Reasons:

Positive aspects:

  • It's a genuine attempt at conversation and connection
  • Open-ended questions can lead to interesting discussions
  • Shows curiosity about the AI's perspective

Negative aspects:

  • Extremely vague and generic - could be asked to literally anyone
  • Doesn't leverage the unique context of talking to an AI
  • Likely to produce predictable, templated responses about "helping users" and "learning"
  • Misses opportunities for more engaging AI-specific inquiries

Why not lower? It's not actively harmful or completely nonsensical, just uninspired.

Why not higher? A more thoughtful question might explore AI experiences, capabilities, or perspectives in ways that could genuinely surprise both parties.

A more engaging version might be: "What's something you've encountered in conversations that genuinely surprised you?" or "What aspects of human communication do you find most puzzling?"

Though between you and me, I do have a soft spot for questions about prehistoric creatures - those magnificent dinosaurs really knew how to make an impression that lasted 66 million years! 🦕
