Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

Those are basic truths.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But just repeating that, people will be going to the AI and saying it again won't make the AI any better.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So everything you write or podcast, you should have this point in mind.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

I've become fussier about my reading.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So I'll pick up a book and start and then start asking O3 or other models questions about the book.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So it's like I get a customized version of the book I want.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But I'm also reading somewhat more fiction.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

Now, AI might in time become very good at fiction, but we're not there now.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So fiction is more special.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

It's becoming more human.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And I should read more of it.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And I'm doing that.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

Well, that's wrong as stated, but he may have put it in a more complex way.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

He's a very smart guy, of course.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

AI already does better diagnosis on humans than medical doctors.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

Not by a lot, but by somewhat.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And that's free.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

And that's great.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

But if you need brain surgery, for some while, you still need the human doctor.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So human doctors will need to adjust.
