Conversations With AI (Part 2)

Can it do math? Sure. Can it adapt a screenplay? Not so much.

I understand AI much better now. In my last piece, I mentioned I’d been goofing around but hadn’t gotten into any substantive creation. Two things have happened since then.

First, my friend Cal Newport broke down our current AI, how it works, and what it can and can’t do in an article in the New Yorker and then in more detail on his podcast. You can listen, but it’s better to watch because he goes all professor, and the visuals helped it make sense. Understanding what these LLM AI programs can and can’t do is definitely helping me sleep better.
