Ai Salon: Thinking With You Vs Thinking For You [SF]
6:00 - 6:30: Filter in and get to know each other
6:30 - 8:00: Discussion!
We’re no longer just thinking in our heads.
We’re writing into AI, talking to it, saving fragments of ideas — and increasingly relying on it to remember, organize, and even continue our thinking for us.
Does it make us sharper, more coherent, more capable?
Or does it quietly replace parts of how we think?
What kinds of thinking are worth holding onto ourselves — and what should we offload? And who owns this data?
And as AI begins to understand our patterns, preferences, and ideas…
is that something to be excited about — or uneasy about?
Come discuss!
The Ai Salon is a global community founded in San Francisco focused on intimate, small-sized group discussions on the sociological, economic, cultural, and philosophical impacts and meaning of AI developments. We host small group discussions, all of which you can find on our calendar. You can find summaries of our previous conversations on our substack.
