Wisdom Takes Work: Ryan Holiday on What AI Can’t Teach You
Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player
Today on the James Alteger show. I've worked in the AI space for 35 years in one way or the other. So I'm a huge proponent. But this is the one area where AI is a tool and not the leader, which is wisdom. AI is really good at knowledge.
It's really good at helping you find knowledge. It can even give you knowledge, but it certainly can't give you wisdom. And doing something with knowledge as opposed to just memorizing it is the difference between accumulating facts, which I'll say is the AI world, and wisdom, which is the domain of humans. All of the virtues have to be seen as verbs and not nouns.
Like you don't have courage. You have to act with courage. Discipline is a thing that you do. Justice is a thing that you give. Not a thing that you get.
