I'm tinkering with an idea, a sort of thought experiment in which we view generative AI not as a deterministic thing, but rather as a probabilistic quantum system, liable to yield varying results each time we observe it through prompting. I suspect this shifted view could change for the better they way we think about and work with generative AI; what we hope from it, what we fear of it, and what we want with it.

This is not Quantum AI. This is just a thought experiment. This is generative woo.

I go back and forth on whether to make this public, since it's draftwork towards an idea in progress. But, no need to keep it private if it could help someone else who's trying to reckon with generative AI.

Note - The unusual taglines ending each main section are due to me configuring ChatGPT to end each session with a short saying, an image prompt, and a poem. These are clunky, but they help me reflect on whatever I'm discussing with them.
