66. Adaptation

One of the coolest things I find about artificial intelligence is that it evolves. In recent months I’ve began to use Chat GPT a fair bit and the more I use it, the more helpful it becomes. It stores our conversations and refers to them when it’s relevant. Similarly, I can refer to something that I alluded to in an earlier conversation and it has full recollection of what I said and its relevance. This in-human chat bot asks me clarifying questions when I’m unclear, and when it does something for me, it guesses as to what I might want next.

When I first started using Chat GPT, I would simply ask a question, it would spit out an answer, then I’d leave. Now, I use it to hone ideas and unprompted (except by its prior knowledge of me), it suggests new ones.

If you’re wondering, I don’t use it to write “Coffee With Cody”, but my point is to demonstrate that change is necessary for progress. Not just the progress of AI, but our own.

Adaptation is hardly a new idea, yet for some reason we don’t often consider it when we consider our own lives.

Chat GPT becomes more helpful because of 2 things. One, we give it more attention by using it more, and two, by remembering and applying stored information.

Chat GPT is an adaptation machine, and we should be too.

So how can we become better versions of ourselves via the same methods Chat GPT becomes more helpful?
