Generative AI is perhaps the biggest advance in technology—ever. The world is rushing to find answers and for good reasons. We need to create good outcomes, not bad ones. In the rush, however, remember that Generative AI is way bigger than ChatGPT and the path ahead will be longer than the current rush implies.
Our recommendation is to follow a five-step playbook:
Diversify who decides and how
Dream of opportunities
Design for collective intelligence
Develop your own
Defend against disasters and delusions

The skills that can be taught quickly can be automated quickly. What's left is the slow work universities were built for: helping people become who they are.
The AI Adaptation Cube maps, in three dimentions, the roles we put AI in based on the three traits: Cognitive Permeability, Symbolic Plasticity, and Identity Coupling.
AI usage is too complex for any single research approach to capture completely. We summarize and compare three recent studies: Anthropic's Economic Index Report, OpenAI's How People Use ChatGPT, and the Artificiality Institute's Chronicle project.
People are forming psychological relationships with AI systems that feel unprecedented to them. The Chronicle maps the psychological changes happening as people incorporate AI into their thinking, creativity, and daily relationships.
