When GPT Chat appeared in the world, many people asked themselves the same question: why do I need experts now? Chatbots know a lot and never tire of answering. But it is important to remember that knowledge is not just information; it includes experience, practice, and nuances that are not yet available to artificial intelligence.
What happens if we rely only on AI?
Imagine that you come to the gym hoping to get stronger. The trainers know how to work with the load and show excellent results, but here's the problem - they cannot tell you how your muscles hurt on the second day or what mistakes you can make, for example, when doing a deadlift. This is where a trainer comes into play - a person who not only knows how to pump up muscles, but also understands that each client needs an individual approach.
Chess: An Example of How Man and Machine Became Partners
Chess players initially saw computer programs as enemies, like the supercomputer Deep Blue, to be fought in tournaments. But over time, programs became better coaches, able to evaluate each move, suggest the best combinations, and identify mistakes. Today, chess players are developing their game using symbiosis with AI, and the level of chess is rising to previously unattainable heights. This union has not replaced experts, but has opened up opportunities for a deeper understanding of the game.
Why You Shouldn't Forget About Experts
Artificial intelligence is a library of answers, but a living person is a source of new experience, approaches, and solutions. Interacting with experts allows you not only to receive information, but also to see how it is applied in practice. For example, a doctor can read about a new treatment method, but only an experienced colleague will explain all the pitfalls and give advice on specific situations. This helps avoid many mistakes and speeds up learning.
How to find a balance: symbiosis of knowledge and technology
The ideal approach is to create a system where technology and experts complement each other. You can find many answers and basic information using AI, but maintaining a network of experts will allow you to understand the topic more deeply. Add to this a social graph that connects you with people who are also engaged in your topics. This will turn your knowledge base not just an information repository, but a living network of connections and ideas.
Who is faster, ChatGPT or an expert?
Of course, AI will answer your notes faster than experts, even taking into account the fact that we suggest ranked experts (on the topic of the note) as soon as you create a note.
However, what if the question concerns something unusual, like “How do I fix the funny sound my old washing machine makes?” You will get a bunch of theories from ChatGPT, but good old handyman Bob will definitely say that it is just a part coming loose.
So let's look at AI as a smart tool, but let's not forget that our development lies in contacts and communication with experts.
