Key Takeaways

  1. Communication is complex and nuanced, and our understanding of it has been shaped by the development of technology and artificial intelligence.
  2. The Turing test, in which computer programs try to convince judges that they are human, is a powerful tool for exploring the limits of human communication and the capabilities of machines.
  3. The ability to think creatively and outside the box is one of the key qualities that sets humans apart from machines (as are emotions).
  4. Human communication is not just about the exchange of information, but also about building relationships, understanding emotions, and connecting with one another on a deeper level.
  5. AI mechanizes knowledge work.
  6. Art doesn’t scale.
