[Heartlogic-dev] AI based cog reframing in everyday life

[William L. Jarrold]

Hey Joshua and everyone out their in OHL Land!

I just had a little moment yesterday and hope to engage our collective
rumination.  Generating compelling and vivid everyday examples is very
important to the success of OHL and it is hard work.  It takes lots of
background thought.  Lots of "aha" moments that happen in the weirdestp
places.  E.g. the ideas generated "in the shower" are the kinds of things
I'm pulling for.  And the best way to get those is to force ourselves to
write about them on a periodic (daily or weekly) basis.  So, send us
your brainstorms.

So, here's my moment...I've beening wondering, can we make use of AI model
algorithms in our daily lives...Maybe so...I was in the video store the
other day getting frustrated.  I wanted a science documentary and could
not find anything.  I asked the video store person if they had anything
like that and he said look in our non-fiction section.  That was an "ah
ha!" moment.  Of course, when Tracy wants an apple and gets a banana
maybe she'll feel happy because what she really wanted was fruit.
Type II (goal substitution) appraisals sometimes works (i.e. sometimes
they are believable).  And one of the algorithms you use to generate a
Type II appraisal is take the target object and climb its generalization
hierarchy and see if there objects in the current situation which satisfy
these broader constraints.  If I had thought to myself, "What is up
the generalization hierarchy from science documentary" maybe I could have
made myself happy in the video store rather than having to tap
an expert.

Is something like this story worth putting on the OHL website somewhere?
