The article explores how AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), is changing the traditional view of deep thought from a solitary experience to an interactive dialogue. It challenges the conventional wisdom of the 'empty mind' approach to introspection by suggesting that engaging with external ideas can enhance self-awareness. The author reflects on their experience with an LLM revealing their cognitive biases, indicating that such tools can help uncover deeper insights and foster personal growth, positioning AI as a catalyst for enriched cognitive exploration.
AI may transform deep thought from solitude to interactive introspection. LLMs act as cognitive mirrors, revealing biases and refining ideas.
Traditionally, deep introspection has been achieved through silence and solitude—a retreat from the external world. But what if introspection is about engaging outward instead?
