How to manage expectations surrounding AI, which tend to be high, while avoiding to be dismissive? In other words, how to avoid throwing out the baby with the bathwater? It's a good question to ask an AI bot.

A great question is kind and open-ended. It engages, inspires, informs, challenges, lets a recipient shine or leads to follow-up questions. And it doesn't need an answer, at least not right away. #greatquestions

Questions 1/3 There's something uniquely compelling about questions. They hold a promise of discovery. The beauty of a well-crafted question lies in its ability to multiply into many more questions. Such questions are unfortunately rare.

Questions 2/3 Therefore, consider how more mundane questions can be transformed through the art of intellectual ju-jitsu. This suggests a dance with ideas where the direction isn't dictated by the immediate need for an answer but by the curiosity to explore.

When you have the slightest doubt about a quotation, assuming it fake is the safe option. --- Just think about how opportune it is to construct fake quotes, how easily they spread, and compare it with the relatively hard accessibility of great works.
