Editor's Notes

  • #23: Unrankable human/unrankable ai.
  • #26: The tool isn’t the issue, but what many do with it is
  • #29: Their aim isn’t to surface human content. It’s to surface USEFUL content. The source doesn’t matter. The content does
  • #33: 853 responses
  • #45: 289 responses
  • #81: Measured in parameters
  • #82: The ways we interact will improve too
  • #83: The ways we interact will improve too
  • #84: The ways we interact will improve too
  • #86: This is happening. AI systems WILL be part of our work. More nuanced than just article gen, but we just don’t quite know how yet. Learn now. Shape that future. Everything you need to get started is as that URL and the next two talks in this room.
