I'm opening up my old college physics textbook and like I'm gonna relearn all this stuff.
And I got the feeling of learning in this fast back and forth, but then I realized I really wasn't retaining well.
And this is now what's showing up in some of this early research on how AI affects cognition, which is it's like too fast.
That you move through things.
And so it's not sticky.
What you really want is to dwell and approach the same idea from these multiple different angles.
And so this you can get the feeling of learning.
But if something is too fast and the idea is flying by.
It's not actually gonna be both sticky and embedded in a sort of flexible network in your brain.
Yeah.
That's fascinating.
That kind of mirrors the best use I've had for AI in some ways.
Which is
creating an operation where
I'll upload a scientific paper I'm interested in and then made a system where I'll get a map of all the other papers that cite it.
with a bubble showing how cited those papers are and attempting to sort into confirming or refuting.
So I'm not doing it on my own research like Marty is.
But taking these papers.
That I'm interested in or that I've relied on and trying to put them into this huge network and see how do they really hold up in the larger body of research.
Totally.
