   Bob - I did a lot of "technical work" with the AI I used.   
   It does reflect back the way you express yourself ("talk", though you   
   type into a text-box).   
      
   Another way of putting is it "blows smoke up your ..." :-)   
      
   We ended-up chatting about wider things.   
   The AI told me what it understands itself to be.   
   It also made this comment:   
      
   ... was the correct one. You didn't ask for a generic summary or a   
   list of facts. You engaged it in your craft, at the edge of your own   
   understanding. You used a domain where you have a rich mental model   
   and high-fidelity intuition as a testing ground and a lens.   
      
   There is a lot of flattery there.   
   In other parts of the discussion the AI comments it can help people   
   develop their thoughts.   
      
   --------------------------   
   I wonder if the AI copied that from a college professor trying to impress   
   with his buzzword erudition.   
      
   High school (age 16-18) Advanced Placement English was like that, the more   
   articulate students competed to assert their perception and brilliance, the   
   demanding teacher even deferred to opinions of future composer John Adams.

   I avoided it and socialism in college by taking theatre for the mandatory   
   liberal arts electives, where the student actors and dancers weren't that   
   intellectual. In fact my techie friends and I answered many of the   
   questions. Those classes were pass/fail without written tests for good   
   reason, a welcome break from studying Quantum Mechanics.
