> Nope, I wouldn't have a clue - or care!
I find this just baffling right next to you talking about "greater intuition" or "intellectual curiosity". You don't care if your "intellectual curiosity" is feeding on complete misinformation?
You didn't do any "back-of-the-napkin math" (I did, but you, by your admission, don't care), you just took a plausible-looking factoid and run with it. It's equivalent to believing the first SEO spam listicle Google returned and calling it "intellectual curiosity" — worse, in fact, because at least there is a slight chance of an actual human checking those listicle "facts".
I believe the "process" you refer to is roughly:
- pay for GPT-4
- type a question in
- take the answer on faith
- post it elsewhere without doing any work to verify it
Is this correct? If so, I just don't think it's a good process. It also has no "back-of-the-napkin calculations" that you weirdly insist on, you didn't do a single addition in the entire "process".
