AI is a powerful information processing tool, and you should use it appropriately to boost your thinking.

However, here I want to remind you of some precautions to help you better use AI.

Do Not Over-Rely on AI

Always remember: AI is just a tool. The final thinking and judgment still belong to you.

Additionally, AI currently has obvious limitations that need special attention:

• Hallucination: AI sometimes "fabricates" facts or gives seemingly reasonable but untrue information, so it's essential to verify sources and facts before adopting suggestions.
• Context Limitations: The information AI can access is limited, and it often cannot grasp complex backgrounds and implicit premises like humans can.
• Unreliable Suggestions: AI may propose inappropriate or risky solutions, so be especially cautious when encountering issues involving safety, ethics, or professional judgment.

It's particularly important to note that Miremo's AI will help you generate notes, but this content will be referenced when you edit other notes, which may lead to an "information closed loop", where AI references its own generated content, thereby creating bias.

To avoid this problem, you need to modify the suggested content to make it as close to your understanding as possible, rather than copying it directly.

Use AI Appropriately

Using AI appropriately can significantly improve efficiency and inspiration. Here are several common and practical ways to use it:

• Generate Drafts: Have AI output drafts or outlines as a starting point for your writing, then polish and correct them yourself.
• Brainstorming: Use AI to quickly expand ideas, but you select, evaluate, and integrate valuable viewpoints.
• Structuring Information: Have AI help organize scattered information into a clear structure, completing your existing thought framework.
• Extraction and Summarization: Use AI to extract key points or generate summaries, saving time so you can focus on deep thinking.
• Inspiration and Suggestions: When you're stuck, have AI provide inspirational suggestions from different angles, but evaluate them with a critical eye.

The common goal of these practices is: use AI to assist your cognition and output, not replace your judgment and creativity.

AI's Underlying Principles

AI is essentially a powerful statistical model, and its capabilities come from two aspects:

• Data: Trained on large amounts of text data, learning the structure and patterns of language
• Algorithms: Using complex algorithms to generate text and predict the most likely next word

So you can understand AI as a tool that uses mathematics, based on large amounts of data, to process language tasks.

This also determines its limitations:

• Dataset Limitations: AI's cognition comes from datasets, making it difficult to handle information beyond its training data range. Although large datasets make AI seem omnipotent, its limitations are already predetermined.
• Mathematical Limitations: AI can only handle problems that are mathematically reasonable. For ambiguous questions or those involving personal preferences and value judgments, AI has difficulty giving accurate answers.

If a task exceeds AI's capabilities, you'll either get biased results or completely wrong results.

Therefore, AI is most suitable for processing information and structuring it, not for creative thinking.

Return to Thinking

Miremo, as a thinking tool, always emphasizes the importance of thinking. No matter how powerful AI is, it cannot replace the process of "thinking".

I hope the above suggestions can help you better use AI and improve your thinking efficiency.
