A post in which the cohost of NYT's flagship tech podcast describes "simulating people" via "digital twins" as a "credible" and "solid" use of chatbots, a "good answer to the question of what generative AI is for":
@davidthewid I listened to the podcast. It was a sensible use in a narrow context. Rough summary: feed all writing from a CEO with limited time to an LLM. Invite the LLM to critique work you’re preparing for the CEO.
Effectively, it’s acting as a mirror.
I highly recommend Hardfork as good, funny way to pay attention to tech news
Thanks for this context, I'm glad it was more sensible in context!
I've tried listening to Hard Fork (but perhaps you were referring to a different podcast of his?) and each time found it annoyingly over credulous, but I might give it another try.
