A Stream of Consciousness

  • i don’t think people have caught onto the fact that to get the most out of current and future AIs (learning and productivity wise)

  • it doesn’t make sense to talk with AIs like you would humans

  • if you met a human who has spent thousands of human years reading the corpus of the internet text

  • would you interact with that human like you do your friend bob?

  • no you wouldn’t - so interact in a way that benefits from the breadth of knowledge and awareness

  • today’s AIs have very wide knowledge about many things and less vertical of expert knowledge than, say a PhD

  • so adapt your language structure so you can maximize the value of interaction

  • going one inference further

  • likely, the productivity and learning gains from each incremental unit of time talking with a human vs AI likely will begin to diverge towards AIs (and some power law humans who are at the frontier if alpha knowledge)

  • it’s best to begin adapting your behavorial and language patterns and don’t assume that information is processed and exchanged in the same way
