for issue 52

debbie: could just say a little more about the difference between traditional and GenAI systems in 3.1

dirk: should we use another word besides "traditional"?

we can't think of anything better

dirk: redraws Figure 3

dirk: Section 5.1 is just about traditional systems

debbie: why is LLM in Figure 3?

dirk: could gray out LLM to show that it's not involved. the same for Figure 4 (output)

debbie: should say something about why the LLM boxes are grayed out

dirk: agrees

dirk: would like to add the word "agentic" because that's an established term

debbie: I agree

dirk: will add that

debbie: should we say something about GenAI at the beginning (Section 1) about how these specifications apply to GenAI

ACTION: Debbie to add that in Section 1

dirk: should we add a use case for GenAI, like an avatar

dirk: chat application with a GenAI system while you're driving

ACTION: debbie to write up a sample use case

ACTION: dirk to write up a sample use case

follow-up from Dirk's presentation last time

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13ONyFA96wsWqnEV3jCTvHl6ze7rCspjZuhZ9bU66U50/edit?usp=sharing

dirk: it seems like the taxonomy introduced last time was ok but data types were missing
… should we mention those categories in the document?

debbie: I don't think so, interesting, but going off on a tangent

dirk: could try to contact author and see if he has anything to add

assistant terminology

debbie: list discussion had a lot of opinions

dirk: this term, "personal" has two meanings, knows about you or nothing is shared

debbie: I never thought it meant nothing is shared

dirk: "changing personal assistant" would require a lot of changes

dirk: can add something to say that personal doesn't mean nothing is shared

dirk: will make a suggestion for text about why we call these personal assistants

debbie: it doesn't affect anything in the architecture or specs

dirk: we're not making any assumptions about where the component is running, and we may suggest not to share data unnecessarily

debbie: that's kind of a best practice

debbie: we can postpone reviewing GitHub issues until next time
