Ed, I'm going to use Bard, as you suggested, but I was thinking about a task that I have been having a bit of difficulty doing. I want to have an 'a ha' moment of insight.

This lead me to wonder about the A.I. equivalent ... So I asked my buddy, ChatGPT what it thought about 'hunches' ... Maybe this will be useful and maybe it won't, but I'll share our convo.

This was my newest (I am so proud of myself for asking) question for A.I. Test it, if you like see if it's useful.

Earl - Humans have 'hunches' and 'gut feelings'. We take 'leaps' of logic. What question, or what type of question might I ask you in order to get you to either have, or approximate the 'mindset' of having a hunch? Does this theoretical question make sense?

ChatGPT - Hello!

Yes, your theoretical question makes sense. While I'm an artificial intelligence and don't possess emotions or consciousness, I can try to simulate the concept of having a hunch or a gut feeling by generating creative and speculative responses based on patterns in the data I've been trained on. Here's a question that might help evoke a hunch-like response:

Question: Based on the information you have in your database, what are some potential future applications or industries that could be significantly impacted by a yet-to-be-discovered technology?

By framing the question this way, it opens the possibility for generating imaginative responses, drawing connections, and making educated guesses about potential developments in various fields. While the responses won't be genuine hunches as a human might experience them, they may resemble the process of exploring uncertain territory and generating insights that feel intuitive or novel.

It's important to remember that any responses I provide are based on patterns and associations in the data I've seen during my training and are not actual predictions or intuitive leaps in the human sense. My goal is to be helpful and generate creative responses based on the data at hand.
