Chatbots have a well-deserved reputation for sycophancy, but they are also skilled at adopting whatever persona you want from them. If you want the model to punch holes in your argument instead of lavishing you with praise, you can just ask for it.
AI also enables another form of cognitive uploading: triaging novel hypotheses to determine if they warrant our own deeper attention. So much of my creative thinking as a writer is a variation of hmmm.. I wonder if there’s something interesting here. By chance, I stumble across an article about ant colonies a few weeks after I’ve finished reading a book about urban development, and in my head I think: I wonder if there’s a useful connection to make between those two fields. The cost—just in time alone—of going down a rabbit hole like that has been reduced exponentially over my adult lifetime. When that ants/cities connection first occurred to me in the late 1990s, as I was gathering ideas for the book that became Emergence . . . "
