“This is an amazing development in what will be “search technology.” I remember when “semantic search” was first being developed. If this technology does even half of what it says, the changes we are going to see in the next 5 years will be remarkable. How we “search” for information not only gives us access to information, but also has an impact on how we create the information. This will up-level our creative expression and also our ability to connect with others even more deeply through technology. When used with the intent to create “human connection” technology is an extraordinary blessing.”
