Software 2.0 (2017)
I see AIs uses in two types of uses :<p>- I never run this query : I have found a super Google, but maybe I will miss out some pearls available on the Internet;<p>- I always run this query, but I'm too lazy to have text files, bookmarks in my web-browser to stock answers that I don't want/cannot memorize.<p>It is somewhat similar to the arrival of Google, Unity UIs, Gnome 3, Windows 8, where they wanted to replace all menus with a single search.<p>It is the way forward to idiocracy if we are no more able to tidy our ideas/data.<p>It is like when we are child and we always ask our parents instead of look it up in the dictionary.
It is regressive. It is already the case with Google.
Since I can look it up on the Internet, I memorize less things.
It is human to go a regressive/easy path without will.<p>I'm looking forward to a blog post "Use AI without declining mentally" :<p>- Interact with AI to tidy a corpus of tools/knowledges in personal files<p>- Delegate to the IA the tidying and research of pearls you keep in your folders<p>- BUT have a shared mental model of your data and their structures with your IA,
like a manager may had a shared knowledge of the way the files were sorted in boxes and furniture with her secretary. Like this if your IA/secretary is in holidays, you can still work.
