Teaching AI your knowledge is the most valuable thing you can do with it. The speaker compares McDonald's to Morton's to show that even simple AI outputs are useful if they reflect what you know. By treating AI as a student, the software you build becomes a direct reflection of your understanding.
No one's going to confuse, you know, McDonald's with Morton's, right? In terms of, you know, a nice steak versus a hamburger, but they both provide nourishment and there's a lot to be said for that. The, um, and then there's the other aspect, which I think you also threw in there that is, that's worth considering, kind of ties back to our first conversation, which is one of the most valuable things I think we can do is to teach the AI. Like the, what do we really do? Well, if you're vibe coding, whatever, I think you should think of it as teaching. If we teach the AI. And give it our understanding, ultimately impart it as a student, then the software that we're creating, the software we're having an impact on is just going to be a reflection of our knowledge.
