AI and Personal Bravery, Curiosity

• need to be a little extra brave to get involved in AI
• but then the AI can help you be a little more brave trying new things
• can use AI as a sounding board
• can use AI to work through imposter syndrome
• can use AI to learn that it's okay to make mistakes, to learn that things don't have to be perfect
• AI makes mistakes, too! :-)
• can be curious with AI, and it doesn't scold you, doesn't judge -- and that makes me even more curious
• "curiosity quotient" (like IQ or EQ)
• do we sometimes chase shiny objects, or let AI be a way to procrastinate?
• AI helps us follow our passions and get more done
