I’ve been working on a blog post, another Gemini collaboration post, for just over an hour. Working on stuff with AI is really bizare. It’s like the most extreme form of hit or miss ever. I’ve had loads of times when it’s a total disaster, both with writing code and with prose. Then again sometimes you get something back and it’s like nothing you could have imagined, and you are completely stuned by what you are reading, as if you’ve just been contacted by higher dimensional beings from another universe. That’s been the case today.
It seems to be particularly good at taking a jumble of thoughts, where there is an undercurent of something that you can’t quite put your finger on. I find that happens a lot when you read and listen to lots of online content from modern tech. I guess it’s often triggering many age old themes that have been hammered into you but they aren’t immediately obvious in a new context. This is great of course because often it’s exactly this sort of thing that can keep you awake ruminating at night as your brain tries to put all the pieces into a narrative that makes sense.
Of course you have to at some point put aside the awe of the situation, and get on with things, because neverending awe is stupid and annoying. Very odd this new AI world. Blog post to follow. #
