In a weird way, AIs seem to have blind spots.
I've similar experiences with both ChatGPT and Claude. And I too have then had new thoughts that seem productive. It's not really that they have blind spots. It's that a response is constructed based on what has been in the training material in the context of the conversation. This might be exactly what one wants, such as how to fix a known configuration problem. When one wants something different, something not well represented in the training set, it's not likely to surface unprompted. Sometimes when I get a new take on the subject, and put it to the chatbot, it immediately sees the point and explains to me why the idea has merit. Which I don't need because I already know why it might be a good idea. I think these kind of conversations can help me to get new ideas, so they aren't complete losses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
