How to navigate this note | Find your next step from where you are now
Hello, this is Tetsuya.
Have you ever been to a station you've never visited before and gotten lost because there were so many exits?
When you look at a map, the destination is certainly there. But if you don't know which exit you are currently at, you can't move even if you have a map.
I felt that this note might be in the same state now that the number of articles has increased.
For those who are thinking, 'I don't know where to start reading,' I have created a guide article that shows you the next step from where you are now.
First, please take a look at this.
This map is the structure of this entire note.
It deepens in the order of 'Core of Thinking (Layer 1)' as the foundation, followed by 'Organizing Troubles (Layer 2)', 'Judging How to Delegate (Layer 3)', 'Designing How to Communicate (Layer 4)', and 'Execution (Layer 5)'.
Where is your current location?
Please choose the place closest to where you are now from the guide below.
Overall map of this note
This note has roughly five layers.
[Entrance] Start here first
These are articles to get to know who I am and what I share. If this is your first time visiting this note, start here.
[Find a Use] I don't know what to use AI for
I'm interested in AI, but I don't yet see what I should use it for. These are articles to organize such 'hesitations before using'.
👉 A map to organize before using AI
[Understand] I want to read in order
This is a series that puts into words, one by one, 'why we get stuck in interactions with AI'.
👉 AI Thinking Map | A Journey of Understanding
If you want to understand in order why things aren't clicking with AI, along with my own experiences, start here.
[Deciding] I want to organize things using my own theme
Even when you see your goal, there is still some hesitation ahead.
"What should I decide for myself?"
"Where should I leave things to the AI?"
"When there are several things to decide, what should I start with?"
In such cases, try organizing the order of your decisions using your own theme.
👉 A Map of Decisions for Walking with AI
[Trying with Image Generation] I want to apply this way of thinking to a concrete situation
I get lost with image generation.
I don't know how much I should leave to the AI.
If you want to try this way of thinking starting from such a concrete situation, go here.
👉 Even if you get lost, it's okay to come back here.
Where would you like to start reading?
"I don't have any particular problems yet. I just want to read articles that interest me."
That is perfectly fine.
There is no need to force yourself to fit into a specific category.
Feel free to read through the titles that catch your interest as you please.
"AI isn't working out at all. I don't know what the problem is."
Please start by reading the introductory article.
As someone in my 60s, I talk about how I was stuck in the same place for half a year.
If you feel like "this is about me," please proceed from there to the Journey of Understanding.
👉 The "reason for stopping" that I, a 60-something who was bad at AI, realized after half a year
I'm interested in AI, but I don't know what to use it for.
Before looking for "how to use it," first identify where you are getting stuck.
Why not start by organizing that?
👉 A map to prepare before using AI
I've tried AI, but I always get stuck somewhere during our interactions.
If you want to understand "why you get stuck" one step at a time, please read the Journey of Understanding starting from Part 0.
You can also check the overall content from the summary article before diving in.
👉 Journey of Understanding: Summary Articles (Part 0 to Part 6)
I want to organize my decisions, delegation, and priorities regarding AI based on my own themes.
What should I decide myself?
What should I delegate to AI?
What should I decide first to move forward?
If you want to organize these using your own themes, go here.
👉 A map of judgment for walking with AI
I want to test this way of thinking in a specific scenario like image generation.
If you want to think about how to judge and delegate to AI starting from a specific scenario like image generation, go here.
👉 Even if you get lost, it's okay to come back here.
The "Journey of Understanding" and "AI Thinking Map | Walking with AI while getting lost"
This note contains two streams with slightly different characteristics.
AI Thinking Map | Journey of Understanding is for understanding in order why you get lost when interacting with AI.
AI Thinking Map | Walking with AI while getting lost is for finding uses, organizing your own judgments, and testing ways of thinking in specific scenarios.
It doesn't matter which one you start with.
Please start from the section that you need right now.
