Allowing users to edit preferences and feedback
Users' preferences change over time, and AI systems need to accommodate these shifts. The ability to edit previous feedback and adjust preferences ensures users don't feel locked into past decisions. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining trust and ensuring the AI remains useful as circumstances evolve.
Effective editing goes beyond simple deletion. Users should be able to see what preferences they've set, understand how these affect AI behavior, and modify them without starting over. A music app might show which genres you've liked and let you adjust your interest level rather than just removing them entirely.
Context matters for preference editing. Work-related preferences might need different treatment than personal ones. Some users might want to temporarily adjust preferences without losing their long-term settings. Allow for these nuanced needs without creating overwhelming complexity.
