Quite an interesting piece. Obvious at one level. Its always about augmenting human intelligence, at least in any near term view. So then its about how well you can create the most useful tools. Yes, it is about reasoning, but also about doing valuable things. About inserting AI into valuable human process. That's a challenge in every piece of work I do.
Using Artificial Intelligence to Augment Human Intelligence (In Distill,Via O'Reilly)
By creating user interfaces which let us work with the representations inside machine learning models, we can give people new tools for reasoning.
" .... Our essay begins with a survey of recent technical work hinting at artificial intelligence augmentation, including work on generative interfaces – that is, interfaces which can be used to explore and visualize generative machine learning models. Such interfaces develop a kind of cartography of generative models, ways for humans to explore and make meaning from those models, and to incorporate what those models “know” into their creative work.
Our essay is not just a survey of technical work. We believe now is a good time to identify some of the broad, fundamental questions at the foundation of this emerging field. To what extent are these new tools enabling creativity? Can they be used to generate ideas which are truly surprising and new, or are the ideas cliches, based on trivial recombinations of existing ideas? Can such systems be used to develop fundamental new interface primitives? How will those new primitives change and expand the way humans think? ..... "
