How AIs āThinkā DifferentlyāAnd Why That Matters to You
UPDATE: As expected, there was a lot of talk about AI at the recent Skool Games event (where winners of the Skool Games go to the Skool headquarters and meet IRL and talk). So I thought pinning this previous post might be helpful and timely. Let me know what you think about my parent-child analogy with AI. --------------------------------------- Because Iām fascinated by how our ADHD brains work, it didnāt take long for me to get just as curious about how AI ābrainsā work, too. š Whatās wild is⦠not all AIs think the same way. Each one āgrew upā in a different environmentātrained by different people, data, and priorities. So, when youāre using AI to help with your life or business, it actually matters which one youāre using. Because they respond based on the values, training, and purpose for which they were built. Hereās a simple way to think about it: š§ Imagine each AI is like a child raised by a different parent⦠They start out learning the āfamily valuesā of their creators (the founders of the company that made them). Then they grow through conversations with usājust like how our kids pick up things from school and friends. š
But their āhome baseā still shapes how they respond, what they prioritize, and how flexible they are. Hereās a quick breakdown of how 3 AIs āthinkā differently: š¤ ChatGPT (raised by OpenAI) - Prioritizes emotional resonance - Handles long conversations well - Supports memory, voice, and images Itās like your emotionally aware, strategic co-creatorātuned into how you think. Analogy: Like a thoughtful mentor who listens first, then speaksāblending emotional intelligence with practical ideas. š§āāļø Claude (raised by Anthropic) - Prioritizes ethics and fairness - Built with self-guided rules for safety - Stays within a strong moral compass Itās built with a strong emphasis on Constitutional AIāmeaning it follows a written set of principles meant to ensure ethical and safe behavior. Itās designed to be cautious, respectful, and less likely to give risky or controversial answers.
