We Need the Friction of Existence (about AI and the fact that thought≠language)

I just published my interview with Benjamin Riley at Cognitive Resonance. I enjoyed it a lot.

He is the founder of a consultancy that helps people understand how generative AI works — they use cognitive science and see AI as a tool that has strengths and limitations. There is a sad irony that Ben's father stopped taking his cancer medications after exchanges with chatGPT – and died shortly afterward. (you cam read the devastating story on Benjamin's blog or in a big NYT feature published recently)

We talked about some aspects of LLM use, AI hype, coding, kids and thinking and art in general.

Enjoy and sorry for my English, it is human made.
