[Tried it with AI] Perspective, viewpoint, field of view, and depth when using AI [Quick tips for AI utilization] [Countermeasures against hallucinations]

What is a hallucination?

A hallucination is a plausible lie told by an AI. I have provided some examples in the article below.

This time, I will share how the AI gave a completely different response just by supplementing the background information.

Please consider this article to be more of a quick tip for AI utilization rather than a grand "countermeasure against hallucinations" 💊

When using AI, aren't perspective, viewpoint, field of view, and depth important?

In conclusion, I felt that AI is like a magnifying glass, a telescope, or even a microscope and that perspective, viewpoint, field of view, and depth are important. If you ask the AI itself, it actually says quite reasonable things, as shown below.

"Perspective," "viewpoint," "field of vision," and "depth" are important concepts that express the quality of human-unique thinking in the AI era. While AI excels at processing vast amounts of data and finding patterns, it does not acquire or utilize these concepts in the same way humans do.

[ Meanings of each concept and their relationship with AI
] ・ Perspective (Perspective / Position)
: Meaning
: The "position" or "height" from which one views things. It refers to the fundamental standpoint from which one perceives matters, such as the perspective of an employee, a manager, or an executive.Relationship with AI
: AI itself does not have a specific standpoint and processes information based on the given task or role. However, by instructing the AI to "analyze from a specific perspective," it is possible to generate results that reflect that perspective.・ Viewpoint (Viewpoint / Point of View)
: Meaning
: The "viewpoint" or focus on "where one is looking" when observing things. It is the ability to focus on specific facts or adopt a critical view.Relationship with AI
: AI can analyze data from multiple viewpoints. For example, it can provide analysis results for a product from diverse perspectives such as "cost," "quality," and "market trends." This is due to AI's multifaceted information processing capability.・ Field of Vision (Field of Vision / Scope)
: Meaning
: The "range" or "breadth" of how one perceives things. It refers to a state where one's thinking and knowledge are broad, allowing for a multifaceted perception of things.Relationship with AI
: Because AI has learned from a massive amount of extensive data, it can provide information with a much wider field of vision than humans. For example, it can instantly reference the latest research papers from around the world and generate answers that consider various related factors.・ Depth (Depth)
: Meaning
: The ability to think by digging down into the causes or essence of things in a detailed and concrete manner. It refers to understanding not just superficial information, but the underlying structures and causal relationships.Relationship with AI

: AI can dig deep into and analyze complex relationships within data (such as deep learning). However, unlike the insight based on experience or the ability to deeply understand meaning that humans possess, this is "depth" based solely on data processing.[Summary]
While AI possesses the ability to surpass humans in the breadth of "field of vision" and the analysis of "depth" in data processing, "perspective", the selection of "viewpoints" according to the situation, and the final "deep" insight and meaning-making regarding those results are still considered human-unique strengths. In the AI era, it is important to enhance these human thinking skills while mastering the use of AI.

GoogleAI "AI perspective viewpoint field of vision depth"

I see. It is said that "AI possesses the ability to surpass humans in the analysis of the breadth and depth of 'field of view'" but that 'perspective', the selection of 'viewpoints' according to the situation, and the ultimate 'deep' insight and meaning-making regarding results remain uniquely human strengths."

Hey, humans, there is still plenty of room for us to shine!!

Also, Gemini suggests the following ways to improve how you ask questions to AI.

Changes in 'perspective, viewpoint, and field of view' in AI, as well as the concept of 'depth' are keys to evolving from the stage of using AI as a mere tool to the stage of utilizing it as a partner.

GoogleAI Gemini "AI perspective viewpoint field of view depth"

Perspective (where to look from)
"If you were a 'world authority (or a specific position)' in this field, how would you judge this?"
Viewpoint (how to frame it)
"If you dared to look from 'the exact opposite position' or 'a completely different angle', what would you see?"
Field of view (what to include)
"What are the 'outside' prerequisites or external factors that are being overlooked in this problem?"
Depth (how far to dig)
"Superficial answers are unnecessary. Repeat 'Why' five times and dive down to the root cause (true cause)."

GoogleAI Gemini. "Show me in one sentence a question that digs deeper into each aspect"

It seems like this could be used not just for AI, but also for brainstorming or asking questions to subordinates?? I don't know though💊

And here is what actually happened. No, it's not that big of a deal. It's just that by adding one word, the amount of information was completely different.

AI that returns completely different information depending on whether there is background information or not

 Recently, I've been hooked on Long Ke's videos. Mr. Long Ke is a Chinese economist and is quite a famous person. His main field of expertise is the Chinese economy.

 So, Mr. Long Ke mentioned Yu Ying-shih. Mr. Long Ke is fluent in Japanese, so normally I wouldn't need subtitles at all to understand him, but since it was a person's name, and not a Japanese name at that, I couldn't catch it. However, I became interested in the Chinese historian (i.e., Mr. Yu Ying-shih) that Mr. Long Ke was referring to, so I Googled it. Along with my sloppy hearing. Then the result was...

Q: Yu Ying-shih "Wherever I am, that is China"

I am sorry, but I could not find information regarding the exact meaning or background of that phrase. It may be a specific maxim in Chinese culture or history, or the words of a certain person. If you have additional information about the context or background, I might be able to provide a more accurate answer.

GoogleAI "Yu Ying-shih 'Wherever I am, that is China'"

Well then, let's add a little more information.

Q: Yu Ying-shih "Wherever I am, that is China" Stanford University

No matching information was found

GoogleAI "Yu Ying-shih 'Wherever I am, that is China' Stanford University"

Let's try adding more.

Q: Yu Ying-shih "Wherever I am, that is China" Historian Stanford University

The phrase "Wherever I am, that is China" spoken by the historian Yu Ying-shih expresses his strong belief in and identity with traditional Chinese culture and values, which were nurtured as he left mainland China and continued his research activities overseas. The background and meaning of this statement are as follows:
・
Departure from the political motherland: Yu Ying-shih was born in Tianjin, China in 1930, moved to Hong Kong at the end of the Chinese Civil War, and later immigrated to the United States. He drew a line between himself and the political system of the People's Republic of China, finding his identity not in a political "China," but in a cultural "China." ・
Successor of Cultural China: As a researcher of Chinese history, thought, and culture, he believed that traditional Chinese spiritual and cultural values were the essence of "China." It is a statement showing his strong pride and philosophy that he himself, who inherits and embodies that culture and scholarship without being bound by physical territory or specific political power, is "China." ・
Identity beyond location: He taught at universities such as Harvard and Princeton (though his career at Stanford University could not be confirmed, he was active at major American universities), and continued to pursue Chinese scholarship and culture wherever he was. This phrase symbolizes his belief that the essence of China exists not in a physical place, but within the individual and within scholarship. In short, "Wherever I am, that is China" is a phrase that succinctly indicates his ideological position that

the essence of Chinese culture exists beyond geographical and political boundaries, and is protected and inherited by individuals who deeply understand and practice it.

Google AI "Yu Ying-shih 'Wherever I am, that is China' Historian Stanford University"

What do you think of this lack of proportionality between the number of search terms and the amount of information (in scientific terms, this is called non-linear). Even if you increase the search terms little by little, the amount of information is zero at first, and then, once it crosses a critical point, it increases all at once. What is this??

Hmm? He didn't teach at Stanford University?? Mr. Ke Long clearly says "Stanford University".

When I switch to AI mode and ask, "I thought it was Stanford, though..."

Q: I thought it was Stanford, though

To conclude, Mr. Yu did receive an offer from Stanford University, but ultimately chose Princeton University.

Google AI Gemini "I thought it was Stanford, though"

That's what it returns. Well, it gave me a bit more detail, too.

 Is Stanford University a misremembering by Mr. Ke Long?

Something like a conclusion

 Just by adding the word historian," the amount of information I could extract increased significantly. It's not that it was a very meaningful "perspective, viewpoint, field of view, or depth," but for me, it was quite an impressive experience.
 Rather, the guess I came up with from that experience—that "when using AI, 'perspective, viewpoint, field of view, and depth' are important"—seems more useful.
 To quote again, Google's AI Gemini states the following.

The change in 'perspective, viewpoint, and field of view' in AI, and the concept of 'depth' are the keys to evolving from the stage of using AI as a mere tool to the stage of utilizing it as a partner.

Google AI Gemini "AI perspective viewpoint field of view depth"

Oh, well then, shall I keep "perspective, viewpoint, field of view, and depth" in mind even more from now on? Well, whether I can actually utilize AI to that extent is, well, "I don't know, though 💊" 💊
