I’m not a technical AI expert but I have tried hard to learn more about how LLMs work, mostly so that I can better understand the role that AI can play, its potential and its (current) limitations, and how humans can best work with AI in a 1 + 1 = 3 kind of way. Listening to a Dave Snowden podcast on ‘Reclaiming Human Sense-Making in an Age of AI Worship’ this week gave me a number of new ways to think about the differences between humans and AI. If we can better understand these differences I think it helps us to define practices and approaches that get the most from each when we bring them together.
