In the sixth episode of "Humanity," Richard and I delve into AI's potential for collaboration. The episode begins with reintroducing the concept of "affordances," from Episode 2. "Affordance" is a term coined by the psychologist JJ Gibson, and it refers to the 'act-upon-ability' of objects and surfaces.

We explore a new platform, Team GPT, which facilitates multiple users interacting with ChatGPT simultaneously. We experiment with it, asking how AI can enhance collaboration. The conversation then veers towards the potential of AI in brainstorming sessions. AI could facilitate idea generation, virtual brainstorming, pattern recognition, and even play the role of a devil's advocate in discussions. The Devil's Advocate is particularly interesting because we are so bad at it!

While the episode started with the premise of using ChatGPT as a many-to-one collaborative partner, we concluded the episode by reflecting on the potential of using AI as a one-on-one collaborator rather than in group settings.
