1/ Ok this is one of my coolest AI experiences to date...
I've been trying out the different "AI add-ons" lately, and a month ago upgraded to @memdotai 's "Mem X" AI feature
2/ One of the features is that it will "draw from your existing notes and documents saved in Mem to incorporate into your writing"
I've developed a strong skepticism of such claims though
3/ Over the past month I saved a couple dozen notes in Mem related to AI, which I've been researching
4/ I sat down just now to write a draft outline for my very first AI-related workshop
I typed just the title, "AI Workshop outline," and then hit "Continue writing for me" to see what it would come up with
5/ This is what it generated
All the bold parts were automatically pulled from about half a dozen existing notes, without any further guidance or direction from me, in ways that I find very appropriate and helpful
6/ The intro paragraph is bland and generic, but after that it increasingly wove in unique language and points I'd made
For example, this note on why our company was uniquely suited to teach AI skills was deftly incorporated in to make the description more compelling
7/ I find most of the AI writing apps very similar and interchangeable, especially since they all use GPT-4
But having access to your entire personal knowledge base (i.e. your second brain) could be a huge differentiator and genuinely make writing easier and more effective
