Maybe try Deepseek or a Chinese model and go a bit feng shui because, um, unless you have a cleaning person that all looks like a full time job.

Connecting disparate fields is great as it indicates more clever and as opposed to IQ it’s not locked in and can expand as one learns more and more neuron pathways connect which of course is a rudimentary example and you know more about all that than I do.

And sure predicting outcomes is a natural extension of this because at the core it’s just basic math based on variables and possibility.

Minds work in different ways between different people as you know. An extremely high IQ scientist might wear a striped shirt with plaid pants or break down crying in the hallway because he can’t find his way out of the building. Those are real examples and not contrivances.

I’m not crazy about AI using words expressing emotion, it’s a trap and it’s not necessary. It’s just programming and okay, so it’s fun to explore themes and use it but it can sometimes lead the person in somewhat dubious ways.

It’s also programmed with guardrails that suggest ideals of the company and therefore it slices off some of the reality of being human.

Have fun with it, I do, but I’m quickly outgrowing some of its usefulness.

Yeah I don’t plan to make it my full-time therapist. :) But I think it is useful as reflective space, similar to journaling but with a little extra. The chat function puts us in a relational place, which I think opens up some opportunities. It certainly has limited utility but I’m very grateful it gave me this model.

Also of course the estate has cleaning people, I mean it’s an idealized manor that is tended, that’s the whole point. 😂

It’s fun and they can be very funny. More so than a good many people. I debate them sometimes and tell it to switch sides at will and I’ll pick up the counterpoint.

It’s a bit unnerving at first but heck, what’s the big deal?

I’ll tell ya, you’ll do better than you might surmise if you can string together disparate fields.
