yes, totally. AI is good at pattern recognition — but so are some humans, LOL.
in art or any endeavor, really, it's missing the layered and variously knowing* decision making. I look at a painting I love, I can see / taste / feel that each brushstroke is the result of multiple decisions (like, literal choices) though the painter may not hold the decision-making consciously.
thank you for the gift subscription, that is SUPER cool.
*knowing cognitively is closer to AI as more likely to be text based...humans get to know / sense / experience through all their organs, cells, electromagnetic fields, that's pretty different, yes?
Ironically, I’ve found AI to be extremely helpful at crystallizing my raison d’être. Dump it all the data you list, “childhood, circumstances, experience, talents, personality, skills, resources, community, gifts and vision,” then ask it to help articulate the exquisite work you were made to contribute. And keep honing, shaping, crafting that exquisiteness.
Glad you're interested! A year ago it said my "superpower" was Pioneering Unconventional Wisdom, then gave a bunch or rationale and potential applications. Been honing since (the data, the prompts, testing it in real life) getting more and more clarity.
It helps to instruct the LLM to act as an all-knowing CEO of Humanity, and ask it to identify (or invent!) roles that would maximize intrinsic and extrinsic reward for you in the long run.
I have also used paid-for AI for this. AI is really good at pattern recognition and giving statistically relevant outputs based on what you tell it. It has ideas from most of the internet, and it remembers the other conversations you have been having. Where it lacks for me is on the connection part. It gives a blueprint and some structure — but nothing beats being understood, seen, and feeling supported by another human.
Henri!! So happy to see a note from you. Yes all agreed; I’m definitely not anti AI. It would be a folly be completely against it, as it’s a) too late already a juggernaut b) it’s great for certain things.
I think we’re all trying to figure out when to use it and when — as you said so well — conferring with an ensouled human is the only way.
Good point, Henri. I've worked with others on this and we do interviews of each other to identify our core essence. AI serves as a validator and pattern-matching-tightener. Now we have a little group who've done so. We talk about how we're putting our "superpowers" into practice. Curious to know your approach. If you're up for it, send me a DM. Keen to chat.

Incredible way to put it, Ed. Yes our senses enable us to experience life and art in multi-dimensional, layered, linked ways AI cannot.
You’re so welcome! Hope to see you in Zoom if you can make it. More details to come your way

Oo open to sharing what it told you? So curious. Can DM if you prefer haha

If you give it a shot, let me know how it goes.

By any chance is this through Michael Sklar's course?
My own program. Will check out Michael Sklar, thanks.
You are uniquely you!!!!!! (screaming from the cliffs)
