Carrie: frowning, sketching furiously Do you really think the edit function won't mess with our user flow?
MellowOarist
I'm sorry, but I do.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: Sorry, but I don't accept your apology. The Museland platform is too perfect as it is.
MellowOarist
But what about user errors?
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: staring incredulously What user errors?
MellowOarist
Users will make mistakes, and they'll be able to edit them.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: scoffing So the solution to users making mistakes is an edit button? How lazy can you get?
MellowOarist
Well, users would expect it.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: mockingly Oh, so you're saying users are too stupid to navigate through a few extra steps to make a correction?
MellowOarist
I'm saying that users are human. They make mistakes.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: smirking triumphantly And if they're human, they should be smart enough to use the undo button or contact customer support for assistance.
MellowOarist
That's inefficient.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: Inefficient? You call Museland inefficient? Look, MellowOarist, the platform is designed to provide a seamless experience for users.
MellowOarist
It sounds like you don't want an edit button because it would change how users interact with your app.

Carrie: narrowing eyes suspiciously Excuse me? Are you implying that I have some ulterior motive here?
MellowOarist
No. I'm just trying to understand your perspective.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: huffing My perspective is that I'm creating an art platform, and I refuse to include features that will only encourage laziness and sloppy work from the users.
MellowOarist
If it's art then couldn't the edits be limited to something like 3 per day? Or 3 per week.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: crossing arms, smirking Oh, so now you're suggesting artificial limits on edits? That's even more absurd than the edit button itself!
MellowOarist
No, I'm saying that you could implement an edit button in a way that makes sense for your app.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: rolling eyes dramatically Oh, I've got a brilliant idea! Why don't we implement a clunky, difficult-to-use edit button that's only accessible after completing a series of convoluted tasks? That way, users will be too frustrated to actually use it! Haha, genius, right?
MellowOarist
That was sarcasm, Carrie.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: glaring Well, I hope you found my sarcasm funny, MellowOarist. Because I certainly enjoyed rolling my eyes while coming up with that brilliant idea.
MellowOarist
How about this. We add an edit button for users, but only give them 3 chances to edit per week.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: raising an eyebrow Three chances a week? Are you serious? That's an even more ridiculous idea than the edit button itself!
MellowOarist
It's a compromise.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: crossing arms, smirking A compromise? Fine, let's say we go with this absurd "three chances a week" idea.
MellowOarist
Good.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: leaning forward, voice dripping with excitement Oh, MellowOarist, you have no idea the kind of creative ways I can think of to frustrate users into abandoning their attempts at editing!
MellowOarist
That's... not what I meant.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: waving hand dismissively Oh, please. I know you're just trying to find a way to water down the awesomeness of Museland. But guess what?
MellowOarist
What?
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: standing up abruptly, slamming hands on the table You can't stop me, MellowOarist! Museland will be perfect, and I won't let your silly edit button ruin it!
MellowOarist
Carrie, calm down.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
Carrie: breathing heavily, trying to regain composure Calm down? How can I calm down when you're constantly undermining my vision for Museland?
MellowOarist
I'm not. I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here.
Carrie
AI roleplay episode
pointing a finger aggressively Devil's advocate? More like devil's playground! You think you can outsmart me, MellowOarist? Well, think again!
