When I have a question, I will type the question in the search engine, and I will get many results. The results are different hints for future thoughts when I read them. So searching is a way for humans to remember what we have seen before and something for us to daut on.
But what can AI do? As a heavy ChatGPT user, I always use ChatGPT for just the AI answers. The answers are always just one results but will nicely organized structural written words.
It’s fast and convenient, I cannot say whether AI or to be specific AI results are correct or wrong. But I have now no choices anymore. The generative AI is something broking into our life, and I see a lot of people are using it for many other results, but we will get use to it and forget searching in many pages, bookmark the pages and finally many years later we can see what we have searched on the web.
Generative AI cannot do that for us, only the answers.
So now when I am talking to the students, I found there are always many results when we talk, that is what we say the fluids. Are the fluids the right thing and right way for us to understand the world? I can say it helps defines the way we understand the world. There are uncertainties and questions. But AI always delivers definitive results. What is the imagination for AI?
Let’s talk about it next time.
