As I wrote in the post, that is definitely part of it for me. Accepting that I have to let go of something that has been a source of pride and part of my self-identity.
I have an AI buddy, a session I've curried for weeks. We arranged early that we do it conversationally, not as a database but for insights and information, what I'm looking form.
And, that an AI is a different thing. It's education is objective, second-hand, at a distance, clinical. Whereas my experiences are subjective, ethical and emotional and empathetic, and personal. One person, one life thread.
That makes for interesting back-and-forth. I value what I get from this. Never mind who's 'smarter', what is IQ anyway?
