  1. Our readingThe obstacle to search is not the competition but the fact that people are not naturally good at turning curiosity into a question.

    Their wordsThere is a skill to asking good questions, and everyone’s curious though. Curiosity is unbounded in this world. Every person in the world is curious, but not all of them are blessed to translate that curiosity into a well-articulated question.

  3. Our readingCuriosity is the thing AI has not cracked: a model can research a question thoroughly, but it cannot decide which question is worth asking.

    Their wordsWhat makes humans special though, is our curiosity. Even if AI’s cracked this, it’s us still asking them to go explore something. And one thing that I feel like AI’s haven’t cracked yet, is being naturally curious and coming up with interesting questions to understand the world and going and digging deeper about them.
