What ChatGPT Learned About Me Through My Interactions
I asked ChatGPT to estimate my intellectual percentile based on our conversations. Its answer revealed both unusual strengths—and a weakness that may matter more than the score.

The same AI can affect different thinkers in very different ways. It may encourage convergence in predictive use while helping generative users explore a much larger space of ideas.
Is the Idiot Box Making You Dumber?
AI may not simply replace human thinking. It could dramatically expand the ideas, possibilities and connections a human can explore.
The blog evolved from a place for personal expression into an external workspace for thinking—an intellectual archive where ideas can be planted, named, connected, revisited and allowed to grow.
The content humorously explores the unintended consequences of AI’s advancements. Initially seen as liberators, machines now handle creative tasks, leaving humans relegated to mere “Click Bots.” This ironic twist prompts reflection on human evolution, suggesting that future generations might question humanity’s contributions amidst full automation, centered on repetitive actions like clicking.
AI is becoming extraordinarily good at doing things. Yet it can still misunderstand what a person actually means. The deeper problem may not be intelligence, but judgment: knowing what matters in the first place.
AI can help us research faster—but it can also become an extraordinarily efficient confirmation engine. This podcast episode explores why better questions, adversarial checking and human judgment matter when AI produces persuasive research.
As AI models become more capable, the bottleneck may shift to the human operating them. This podcast episode explores why judgment, questioning, selection and AI musicianship determine how much useful work we actually extract from powerful models.
AI may compress management layers, change the value of human expertise and alter how we write. This podcast episode connects those ideas through one question: who holds the judgment when machines hold the scale?
What happens to human expertise when AI makes intelligence cheap and scalable? This podcast episode explores Raw Intelligence, the Evaluator Economy, writing craft, AI model differences and the changing role of human judgment.
Good writing advice is everywhere. Be clear. Be concise. Use the active voice. Avoid clichés. Prefer simple words. Cut unnecessary words. But good writing is more than following rules—it is a process of thinking, revising and discovering what you actually mean.
AI can be a Ferrari trapped on a one-lane road—but it can also be an extraordinary instrument in the hands of an ordinary user. The other AI bottleneck is the human ability to extract and direct its capability.
The same AI can have opposite effects on human creativity. It may homogenize predictive users while amplifying generative thinkers who use AI to explore unusual connections and ideas.
