Hello
We wanted to let you know that we are today launching a new tool to facilitate conflict resolution on the Talk forums.
Using linguistic analysis of the many thousands of discussions on AIBU?, we've produced a list of fifty ‘family flashpoints’ - issues that commonly cause distress and conflict for MNers and their families. The top five flashpoints identified are:
rows over money, particularly how disposable income is spent within couples;
mismatches in sexual libido;
fathers ‘offering to babysit’ for their children;
whose turn it is to empty the bin; and
repeated leaving of towels on the bathroom floor.
Textbots will employ machine learning from millions of Mumsnet responses over the years to inform users whether they are or are not being unreasonable. An animated wagging finger will appear on screen with the text ‘It looks as though you’re about to have a massive row. Would you like some help with that?’ before offering a chatbot mediation service.
Just wanted to let you know - as ever, please do let us know what you think
Thanks
MNHQ
