Abstract vs Holistic Thinking in IT

This is an example of gaining support and arguments for a personal meaning. The expected and tricky behaviour of GenAI is that it has no opinions of its own. We expect it to behave on the basis of facts, and hope that it has been trained sufficiently on the basis of facts. The tricky thing about GenAI's generally neutral behaviour is that it always seems to be thinking along with you. (Fortunately, it will object if you feed it outrageous meanings and ideas).

In this dialogue, I make a lot of opinionated suggestions and ask GenAI to respond to them. It usually tries to find support for your ideas, even if these ideas are not widely supported by authoritative experts or academic findings. I'm aware that this can be tricky, as it can sometimes seem like looking for ammunition (arguments) in your own bubble. But it can also be helpful if, for example, you are preparing for a debate and you are short of arguments for the ideas you want to defend.

Here's the chat I had with GenAI (ChatGPT).
