Episode notes
LLMs Unlock Thought Not Just Facts
- Large language models unlock 'thought' by enabling iterative dialogues that advance human thinking.
- John Nosta argues this creates a new cognitive partnership rather than simple fact lookup.
Innovation Expands Opportunities
- Innovation expands opportunity rather than simply replacing human roles.
- Nosta uses photography, chess, and Jeopardy to show human roles persist and evolve after automation.
Engage AI As A Process Not A Product
- Treat AI as a process to engage, not a single 'killer app' you plug in.
- John Nosta recommends experiential adoption so teams learn by using AI directly.
