> value out of AI (specifically ChatGPT and Midjourney)

The one area I would agree that AI and ML tools have been surprisingly good, art generation.

But then, I see the flood of AI generated pictures and overall, feel it has made a already troublesome world, even more troublesome. I am starting to see the "the picture is AI made, or AI modified" excuses coming into mainstream.

A picture now, has lost all meaning.

> be useful for “thinking” or analyzing a piece of writing

This, I am highly skeptical of. If you train an LLM with words of "trains can fly", then it spits that out. They may be good as summarizing or search tools, but to claim them to be "thinking" and "analyzing", nah.

The fact that most ai art is generic garbage just reflects the lack of imagination most people have when making it. Sad but true. The actual tools themselves are incredible.

And I meant myself thinking and analyzing a piece of writing with the help of ChatGPT, not ChatGPT itself “thinking.” (Although I frankly think this is somewhat of an irrelevant point, if the machine is thinking.) Because I have absolutely gained tons of new insights and knowledge by asking ChatGPT to analyze an idea and suggest similar concepts.

Are you going to test them by building something or using these concepts in conversation with specialists?

Not sure what you mean by testing them. I specifically mean knowledge, historical facts, new books and philosophers to study, etc. I have discovered new writers that I didn’t know about because ChatGPT suggested them.

And likewise, using AI to critique a piece of writing is already “testing it,” as it definitely makes useful suggestions.
