I'll always be skeptical about using AI to amplify AI. I think humans are needed to amplify AI since humans are so far documented to be significantly more creative and proactive in pushing the frontier than AI. I know, it's maybe a radical concept to digest.

Based on clear, operational definitions, AI is definitely more creative than humans. E.g., can easily produce higher scores on a Torrance test of divergent thinking. Humans may still be more innovative (defined as creativity adopted into larger systems), though that may be changing.

This is absurd to the point of being comical. Do you really believe that?

If an “objective” test purports to show that AI is more creative than humans then I’m sorry but the test is deeply flawed. I don’t even need to look at the methodology to confidently state that.

A lot of snark in these comments. Has anyone actually tried it yet?

I’ve seen people discuss these types of approaches on X. To me it looks like the concepts here are already tried and popular - they’re just packaging it up so that people who aren’t as deep in that world can get the same benefits. But I’m not an expert.

Exactly. I don’t understand the cynicism in the comments and they literally are just trying to make the technology more accessible

How on earth does this compare to a Linux distro? What are you even talking about here?

I see a Linux distro as a collection of libraries that someone puts together following best practices and conventions (ie all config files go into /etc). The similarity with this project is that Microsoft has taken a collection of tools and best practices and put them together in an easy to install package

Ah yes an easy to install package, totally the hallmark of your average Linux distro :)

Common etiquette is to declare your conflicts of interest

Agreed, it is in my bio but I updated the post in any case

ah I just realize actually u are rover dev

I wonder why do you think we need rover? what is the use case? I got confused

before that we ask ai with a chat feature

the next we need a multiple swarm of ai why though?
