Thought this might be of some interest to the forum (Commoncog is cited in the Director’s Note):
AI has elevated the distinction between what is tacit and what is not. Language models can summarize and automate, but when they attempt to create something that carries the signature of human craft, the result is often flat. Cedric Chin, a Singaporean analyst and one of the inspirations for this series, describes the process of acquiring tacit knowledge as the process of moving from conscious incompetence, to conscious competence, to, finally, unconscious competence.
The ceiling for LLMs, for now, seems to be conscious competence. They can capture and articulate procedure (or at least the median advice on any particular topic), but not judgment.
I can’t wait to watch it — though I have to figure out how to get away from my daughter long enough to watch it on a bigger screen!
