I just know so much more.
Each one of my friends has something like that.
We're like, hey, you know what?
I've actually gotten so much better at this super random thing that I never even thought I – I never thought about it explicitly, but –
because I'm always asking AI questions about that and it's giving me the answers, it's not simply that it gives me the answers and I forget it.
It gives me the answers and I remember it.
I become better and better because it's like the way that Alexander the Great had Aristotle as his tutor and could ask him anything and learn great stuff from him.
We've all got Aristotle in our pocket now and we can become better at the things that we want to do, the things that resonate with us for whatever reason.
If everyone's got Aristotle in their pocket, how does one create an edge?
I think it has to do with we're all just going to be running faster.
In the same way that when Steve Jobs introduced Apple computers, he said this is like a bicycle for the mind.
What he meant by that was that for millions of years, we've been walking bipedally.
And then just in the last nanosecond of evolution, we invented the bicycle.
And suddenly humans can move faster because of the bicycle.
And he said having a personal computer is like a bicycle for the mind.
And I think of AI now as like a motorcycle for the mind.
It allows us to move so much faster.
So now it's a motorcycle race.
And there will be people who are much faster than other people because they're really using that optimally.
Well, for sure, the people who are just copying and pasting the AI slop, that'll be easy to beat that crowd.
