I used to think the goal was to get AI to sound more like me. Now my goal is to get it to think against me.
We’re using AI all wrong. The possibilities that lie in augmenting your cognition and enhancing creativity are enormous, yet most of us are using AI as a glorified Google. Question in, answer out. Summarize this, write me a post for this, how are airplanes actually made?
