Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping to inspire a more optimistic vision. I agree with your point of view. Let's keep discovering!

Great article. My experience is that it does more than summarize. When I give it a clear direction and engage as a co-creation new things I never would have anticipated emerge. I read that the human mind is also a prediction engine. And yet we create original thought. Maybe our whole notion of intelligence needs to change, more along the lines of Bohm’s work.

@Mark_5418 thanks Mark! yeah, i think it's "summarize" in the broadest sense of the word: recombining and extending existing ideas and knowledge, rather than coming up with things that are completely new. check out the Gopnik paper I linked for more on what that means

Great read, thanks! Also reminded me how powerful summarizing is. So… did you use chatGPT’s summarizing skills for this article? How? Maybe this could be the topic for a future article :)

Dan Shipper over 1 year ago

@rahman.rizvi i did!! i used it to summarize the manic depression story i told. super helpful :)

Excellent post Dan! You're on fire this week, your building an app podcast was really thought provoking too.

Do you have a Goodreads list or similar? Your book rsuggestions are great and I find recommendation engines sorely lacking when it comes to interesting books that don't have as many ratings.

I don't...but I usually tweet about what I'm reading, follow me on there! and maybe i'll do a roundup at some point soon
