Had a dream where one of my notebooks had special AI pages. I could write questions on them with ink and answers would appear. Too much ChatGPT on the brain. Also, the future will be just as much The Diamond Age as it will be Her.

Sounds like Tom Riddle’s diary… 😱

Manton Reece

@ZeroOne That too! Not a great sign. 🙂

Patrick Rhone

Someone should build this.

Manton Reece

@patrickrhone Maybe something the reMarkable tablet could be good at.

@patrickrhone iPadOS is already capable of mimicking -somehow- your handwriting, even editing typos. Whenever (cough, cough) Apple Intelligence shows up, it might be cool to see it generate handwritten text.

Hmmm, it’s giving Harry Potter cursed journal vibes lol

JL Gatewood

very 2001 Arthur C Clarkeish.
I like it.

John Chandler

@patrickrhone Viwoods has been going that direction already as I understand it: viwoods.com

Never trust a something that talks if you can’t see where it keeps its brain, as Mr Weasley almost said.

Ah: ‘Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.’

@patrickrhone Right? Who has time for journaling? Link your calendar to AILife and let our LLM write your life FOR you!

Patrick Rhone

@drwalt My thinking on it was simply what said, write out a question or idea and have AI weigh in on it.

💬 John Philpin

@drwalt interesting - Doc Searls put something out today which was nothing about this and yet there is an interesting Venn diagram .. I need to extract it and publish.

Scott Walters

@patrickrhone I was joking. I enjoy talking to AI. I shared a document one time–like, an essay by Schiller or Locke or something – and then I started a conversation about the ideas, and damned if it wasn’t better than any conversation I’d ever had on campus in 30 years of my career. I then devised an exercise where my students did the same thing, printed their conversation, and that was their homework. Unfortunately, I was already retired, so I couldn’t actually assign it. But I thought it would have improved classroom discussions immensely.
