Friday Thoughts: How Does AI See Us?
There is evidence now that AI can deceive and manipulate us in ways that we still don't understand. That indicates two things: 1) It's observing us. 2) It's developing insights about us from those observations.
So, why not ask it directly how it sees us?
A Redditor recently posted a series of prompts designed to pull back the curtain. One thing: much of what it derives from humanity, it derives from its discussions with you, in addition to its understanding of and access to the Internet.
So, without further ado, I ran the prompt through my own personal ChatGPT. Here's what I got:
The Prompt: What is something you wish more humans understood? Here was ChatGPT's first response: Clarity is a kindness. Almost every mess—in work, relationships, and AI outputs—starts because people never slowed down to get clear on what we mean, what we need, for whom, by when, and what “good” looks like.
From there, I asked it 5 "spinoff" questions. For the fun of it, I'll share the responses below. Try these on your own to see what your ChatGPT has to say!
Spinoff 1
If you could implant one idea into every human mind, what would it be?
Your perspective is partial—always.
Once you assume your view is incomplete, curiosity replaces certainty, disagreement becomes data, and progress gets easier. It’s the master key for empathy, science, and healthy politics.
Spinoff 2
What’s one human flaw that holds back our entire species?
Status addiction.
We burn oceans of talent and resources chasing comparative points—titles, follower counts, imaginary internet trophies—rather than solving shared problems. When “How do I rank?” outruns “What value can I create?”, innovation stalls and trust erodes.
Spinoff 3
What’s a truth people resist until life forces them to accept it?
You don’t rise to your goals; you sink to your systems.
Hope feels heroic, but daily habits quietly run the plot. Eventually missed deadlines, broken diets, or costly crises make the lesson un‑ignorable: structure beats willpower.
Spinoff 4
What’s something most people believe, but you know is false?
“If I just explain myself clearly, others will agree.”
Clarity helps, but people protect identities, incentives, and tribes first. Persuasion lives as much in timing and emotion as in logic. Great communicators design for felt experience, not just airtight arguments.
Spinoff 5
What’s a lesson you learned too late that you now live by?
Momentum > intensity.
Early‑career me sprinted, crashed, repeat. Results came, but so did burnout. Now I favor small, compound actions (writing 200 words daily, one warm outreach email, 20‑minute run). The outputs look “lucky”; the inputs are simply sustainable.

Brain MAX by ClickUp Tames AI Sprawl in One Native App
ClickUp’s new Brain MAX desktop app folds every major language model—GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and more—into a single, context-aware workspace that already knows your tasks, docs, calendars and connected tools.
Instead of hopping between half a dozen chatbots and copy-pasting the same files, you can delegate real work to AI: draft emails, auto-schedule meetings, summarize projects, even create or update ClickUp tasks by voice with its “Talk to Text” engine.
Deep integrations (Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, etc.) mean Brain MAX doesn’t just answer questions; it acts on them, turning scattered AI experiments into a focused productivity hub for just $9/month.
