This [[Conversation|conversation]] with yourself gives you the context of your [[Belief|belief]]s, which can be time-consuming to provide to an [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. However, the practice of putting together a context is a great way to look at the bigger picture and gain clarity. In some cases, providing a context may not be helpful and can just be a form of repetition. ![a detailed digital art of a highly fashionable extraterrestrial beautiful face large eye alien wearing hawaiian clothing tropical volcano background by william blake and escher, norman rockwell, subtle giger, crisp, sharp focus, centered, cinematic, muted color scheme, award - winning art ](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/0be1e51b-7009-4df9-b0d2-16a296be405b) ## An [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] that knows you better than your mother ![realistic detailed photo of futuristic cyborg-madonna holding a newborn baby child in hands , artwork by Tooth Wu and wlop and beeple, greg rutkowski. still from a 2021 movie by Terrence Malick, Tarkovsky, Gaspar Noe, James Cameron,](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/007445c2-b286-42e4-8050-d9dcee64fdc3) So what if we had an AI that knows you better than your mother? Would it be valuable in any way? Would it give better answers to your questions than asking these questions to yourself? Can it give another perspective maybe? Where can you extract value from such a being? ![realistic detailed image of futuristic cyborg-madonna holding a newborn baby child in hands by Raphael Santi, by Ayami Kojima, Amano, Karol Bak, Greg Hildebrandt, and Mark Brooks, Neo-Gothic, gothic, rich deep colors.
