Let's assume that your AI has all of David's experience, and will only serve up highly relevant, high-quality answers. What would you ask?
@John Forrister A bold assumption. AI must hallucinate to be creative! GTD was just a hallucination before it became to be.Let's assume that your AI has all of David's experience, and will only serve up highly relevant, high-quality answers. What would you ask?
But it's known, 42 of courseI would love to hear David AI's Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
@TesTeq You better ask quick as it could take AI David 7.5-million years to ponder the question and come up with an answer.I don't know the question but I would love to hear David AI's Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Sounds like a complex SQL query to me...What activities should I engage in to create the greatest results in the areas defined in my Horizons of Focus; specifically, are there activities that would create overlapping value across my HOF that may not be readily apparent to me?
That's probably my past work on eProductivity showing through. Again, I'm assuming that John's question implied that AI David could see our stuff? Otherwise, I don't see much potential.Sounds like a complex SQL query to me...
Eric Mack,I'll begin with two assumptions:
1. AI David has access to all of the components of my GTD system, including HOF, Projects, Actions, Calendar and Reference.
2. My systems are clean and current, to the best of my ability
Then, in light of the above, I would ask AI David:
"What activities should I engage in to create the greatest results in the areas defined in my Horizons of Focus; specifically, are there activities that would create overlapping value across my HOF that may not be readily apparent to me?
I am just learning to be aware of my feelings. I'm a long way from being capable of having two simultaneous feelings, especially two such strong feelings. But I appreciate the vote of confidence in my emotional capacity.(Of all the people who have graced these forums over the years, @John Forrister simultaneously feels I'm the most infuriating and the most disappointing. Provoking such a reaction has required a lot of hard work on my part.)
No, AI David may know nothing specific about your stuff. You could ask a question that might apply to anyone's stuff, like a general knowledge about GTD question, or a question about how to better work with some part of GTD.I'm assuming that John's question implied that AI David could see our stuff?
@John Forrister For me AI without a personal context is useless. I don't want a general advice how a central heating stove operates. I want help with defining the Next Action when water is pouring from it (a real example, today).No, AI David may know nothing specific about your stuff.

So you need to look up "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov.And to this day we still don't know the question, Marvin.
I'm with TesTeq on this. The value of an AI David (or much AI) is greatly diminished without personal context. In the case of John's question on what I would ask an AI David, without personal awareness of my stuff how would AI David be much different than MS Bing?@John Forrister For me AI without a personal context is useless.

“What would David Allen say about how much I can trust you?”Let's assume that your AI has all of David's experience, and will only serve up highly relevant, high-quality answers. What would you ask?
I think you would be happier if you found an approach that works well for you on your own. Each Jedi must construct their own lightsaber.I would request the AI to conduct a thorough analysis of my existing GTD (Getting Things Done) system and identify areas for enhancement. Currently, there seems to be a lack of a fully integrated tool capable of executing all GTD steps seamlessly, beginning within an email inbox. This would involve integrating a decision-making process starting with questions like 'What is this?' and 'Is this actionable?' Depending on the responses, the system would automatically initiate appropriate actions, such as starting a 2-minute timer or tagging items as 'waiting for' when tasks are delegated…
Essentially, my ask is for the AI to develop a comprehensive application, aligned with the principles and framework outlined by David Allen in his GTD app. blue print, which he shared a few years ago during last GTD summit in Amsterdam.
