Thank you so much for this! AI has been on my mind a lot lately. I don't want to outsource my thinking or writing, but I also know it's not going away, so how do we use it as a tool? And if I don't use it, am I missing something?

I’m keen to lean into it but with my eyes open.

it’s great for challenging your thinking, summarising information and being a partner to your work.

Nice one! I think that’s true. Anyone can ask ai to create something but it’s the richness of real life that can’t be imitated.

How do you think people can prove something is real?

{...ask AI to create something...}

AI, (maybe AGI, if ever) only regurgitates and mixes a vast body of available information, never created nor will ever create anything. Just like any pocket calculator but with info, imagery, etc.

It's like energy, impossible to create or destroy; only change from chemical to mechanical, etc. ...

{...How do you think people can prove something is real?...}

Simple:

By refusing to "live by wire" (aka www-acquaintances & info only) but have genuine, real, physical interactions with people you can trust.

A single person does not need info from around the globe unless he juggles with futures ...

People around a real, genuine person feed enough daily info and it's the useful one that can be implemented into one's daily life immediately, not the mostly superfluous junk that only attracts attention ... (by design!!!)

Use AI to Augment Intelligence; don't you dare use it to replace yourself. That's just dumb.

Exactly, and it would do a pretty bad job at that too.

I think that's right - how do you go about doing that?

I promot it to asses what I’m and where I am in relation to the world today and where I’m going. What action steps can I do to fulfill this alignment. It speeds up ideation, strategy, and growth. I ask Ai as my therapist and growth strategist. It can be also your creative coach.

Nice. So ensuring it has context and then giving it a role to play?
