We think therefore we are. in Latin. Akin to "Cogito Ergo Sum" from Descartes, but expanded to how communities think and change. Confablamur was used as a term for conversation. This is where the English term confab comes from no doubt. Shakespeare did not coin it.
"Confablamur ergo sumus" , remember that Sarah, we have gone way beyond , "I think therefore I am" . Thinking and not conversing with your peers is like listening to one hand clapping. Good luck with that zester.

Get the Confablamur ergo sumusmug. Helper agent Is it new idea that is part of prompt engineering and things like ChaptGPT. A helper agent can be added to a conversation with the AI algorithm, help agents can provide a view or a check after an answer is generated. Helper agents improve the ChatGPT's correctness and limits hallucinations.
Tim: What do you mean helper agent?
Rob: It just add another character into the chain of thought.... Just ask ChatGPT a question and in that question say had an "empathy" helper agent to focus on empathy to your conversation and after the answer is generated, assess the answer for empathy and suggest improvements to the generation. It's simple right?
Tim: Ah, no.

Etymology:
From the French word "faux" meaning "false" + the Greek word "paradoxos" meaning "contrary to expectation."
Definition:
A situation or statement that appears to be paradoxical or contradictory at first glance but can be resolved or explained with deeper analysis or additional information. Fauxparadoxes are often found as part of false conspiracy theories to attract acolytes.

Sylvia: Rob, when you mentioned the the term fauxparadox, it reminded me of the classic "chicken or the egg" dilemma. But with modern evolutionary biology, we understand that it's more of a fauxparadox since birds evolved from reptiles, suggesting the egg came first.
Rob: Exactly, Sylvia! It's fascinating how many things we perceive as paradoxes can be clarified with a bit more knowledge or a different perspective. People attach too much weight to what they think is a paradox, when what you have to do is try to solve it with more observation and the scientific method. Most paradoxes are simply hard problems and thought experiments. A Fauxparadox is a playground for grifters the naïve and fools.

Get the Fauxparadoxmug. A large scale impactful event that, with first order second order effects, impacts over a billion people in surprising ways. Though the event is surprising, it has actually been predicted or was likely to happen based on people that call themselves futurists and economists arguing both sides of every argument. Gray swans by default tend to be negative. Covid-19 was a graceful event has defined by the The Grey Swan Guild, a global think tank that studies these types of occurrences along with Grey Rhinos, Green Swans, White Alligator, and Black Jellyfish.
ROB: I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WAS A "GREY SWAN". NO ONE EXPECTED THAT ROCKET TO CRASH INTO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
SEAN: Stop shouting and think. According to my quick research on perplexity and our website Prediction Market.. there was a 5% chance that one of the rockets or shuttles would crash into the ISS it's just a matter of gravity. Those are actually pretty good odds I can't believe it wasn't more defense on the ISS!

Get the Extrapolidiotmug. Reflexion, is a new method of getting ChatGPT and any autoregressive GPT to check its work, AFTER it generates answer. The answers, now that it is in STM, is used in a prompt, following any generation. It can be used multiple times. Answers get better and there are less are what some people call “Hallucinations”. See: Helper Agent. This was not coined by any symbolic ai scientist.
Tammy: Refection, Ok you made that up! I call BS!?!
Rob: No… its is real… there’s research, it’s reflection with an “X”… REFLEXION makes the AI do recursion. you cna use it to check ChatGPT and get it to tell the truth and corrrect itself… It’s the opposite. It reduces the BS
Tammy: This… you need! Wait. What? Recursion??? That’s amazing!
