- AI's real superpower lies in consumption, not creation.
- Most people use AI for creation tasks like writing emails or generating reports, missing its potential for consumption.
- Connecting AI to personal knowledge repositories (like Obsidian vaults) allows for deep insights from past notes and reflections.
- AI can uncover patterns and connections in personal data that humans might miss or forget.
- Traditional search methods fail because they rely on exact keywords, whereas AI can query by concept and find patterns across time.
- The real breakthrough is using AI to access and analyze personal knowledge, turning past experiences into actionable insights.
- A simple setup involves storing all thoughts and notes in a system like Obsidian and querying it with AI.
- This approach leads to faster problem-solving, better decision-making, and the discovery of hidden patterns.
- The future of AI is not just as a creator but as a comprehensive reader of personal knowledge.
- Documenting knowledge today is crucial for future AI-assisted retrieval and insight generation.
