Researcher Flags Duplicative Chat UI Concepts

In a reply, AI researcher Minqi Jiang described docked New chat and side-chat as duplicative UI concepts. He noted that when coding, new chat is usually meant to act as a side chat for the thread context. Separate side-chat would then be unnecessary, since a user could simply start a new thread instead. The post appears in an AI-focused cluster and is attributed directly to Jiang, whose background includes work on reinforcement learning and open-ended learning at FAIR.
