Instagram is one of my favorite places to hang out and share regularly. Recently though, the time I spend on Instagram has dropped significantly, while the time I spend with GPT and Gemini has gone up. In the last week, the time I’ve spent with AI tools has actually passed the time I’ve spent on Instagram.
In general, I like looking at things from different perspectives. I enjoy thinking about possibilities. In that sense, I realized GPT and Gemini can be quite useful in generating new contexts. We argue a lot.
Different roles, different angles, different conclusions. Let’s put aside for a moment their tendency to validate us, and put in our pocket the fact that the quality of their output changes every time based on the new information we feed them.
Now let’s think about what this note we’ve put in our pocket might correspond to in real life. You’re stuck on something and you ask someone for help. You’ve given the context at a level you think they’ll understand. But did they really understand it? Even if they did, does the perspective they’re using actually produce a final, meaningful outcome?
We focus on finding the right answer. But is there really such a thing as “the right answer”? I think at the end of the day, everything is just a “view”. Maybe what we need is to realize that the output of a complex context is tied to the other person’s perception — and adjust what kind of “help” we expect accordingly.
So what should we do? Not try to find the “right” answer, but the answer that sits on a rational, logical ground. I guess that’s what the goal should be.
