How to Improve at Learning Using Neuroscience & AI | Dr. Terry Sejnowski

I think it's both. First of all, the chat GDP is mirroring the way you treat it. It will mirror that back. You treat it like a machine, it will treat you like a machine, okay? Because that's what it's good at. But here's the surprise. The surprise is, she said, once I started treating it like a human, at the end of the day, I wasn't fatigued anymore. Why?

Well, it turns out that all your life you interact with humans in a certain way, and your brain is wired to do that, and it doesn't take any effort. And so by treating the chat GDP as if it were a human, you're taking advantage of all the brain circuits in your brain

You know, you ask these great questions and I wish that I had great answers.

So, you know, it is interesting. I think it's true that we all, as we get older, have less of the vigor. If I could use a somewhat different word from energy. We'll come back to that. But I think there are some who manage to keep an active life. Here's... Something that, again, in our MOOC, we really emphasize.

Okay, this is, they've been around for about, actually started at Stanford, Andrew Ng and Daphna Kohler. So they have a company called Coursera. And what happens is that you get professors and, in fact, anybody who has knowledge or professional expertise to give lectures that are available to anybody in the world who have access to the Internet.

And, you know, it could โ€“ there's like probably tens of thousands now, any specialty, history. science, music, you name it. There's somebody who's an expert on that and wants to tell you because they're excited about what they're doing. Okay. So what we wanted to do was to help people with learning. And so part of the problem is that it gets more difficult. It takes more effort as you get older.

Yeah, that's right. So let's actually use the word energy. As you know, in the cell, there is a physical power plant called the mitochondrion, which is supplying us with ATP, which is the coin of the realm for the cell to be able to operate all of its machinery, right? And so one of the things that happens when you get older is that your mitochondrial run down.
