The quote you restacked from this post immediately pulled me in.

You're making such a brilliant point - something I myself couldn't put into words.

The value you share is no longer in the information, but it's in your thought leadership,

and how that challenges other's thinking, too. If AI can assist us and amplify that, all the better.

Great points Rich. I think right now we aren’t as a society looking closely enough and how the tech works and what that means for when to use and not use it.

It’s not a panacea for all information-based thinking, it’s a solution for generating context-specific information where there is already a lot of information.

We still need to think with and react to the outputs (which in the right hands it can speed up drastically). The reasoning and guidance though is up to us, especially in any nascent field, unless a wholly different approach to AI emerges.

"The reasoning and guidance is up to us." That's the human side of the loop. AI compresses the information phase; it doesn't replace the thinking phase. You nailed the distinction.

Csabi, you just said it better than my yarn did. "The value is no longer in the information." That's the whole thing. Appreciate you reading and getting it.
