Search is an underestimated gold mine
Many people focus on AI’s generative ability while ignoring that its strongest abilities are actually “connection” and “retrieval.” In the past, when we stored materials, we had to tag and categorize them. Even then, six months later, if you wanted to find a passage but could not remember the keywords, it was basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.
What can today’s technology do? It can understand your feeling. You may only remember a few vague concepts, or the emotion you had when you read that passage, and AI can use semantic analysis to pull that thing back out for you. That is real efficiency improvement. This improvement is not ten or twenty percent, but an order of magnitude.
When you throw thousands of high-quality pieces of information that you personally selected into a knowledge base, AI’s role is to bring the relevant fragments you had long forgotten back in front of you when you need inspiration. That unexpected discovery is the source of innovation, not asking ChatGPT to write another generic paragraph for you.
