What happens if you are someone with a comprehensive, interconnected thinking style, but are limited by the language of specialized fields? I am an architect designing architectural blueprints for buildings. - A sustainable interconnected thinking between structure and construction processes is employed. - A touch of self-reflective philosophical thinking is incorporated. - Combining both creates a multidisciplinary thinking system. That's probably why, almost two years ago when I first encountered AI, I always questioned how to use it, how to make AI a useful tool for amplifying ideas rather than a thinking tool. Like my field, I can draw perspective drawings by hand, but computer-aided drawing tools amplify that ability because they can rotate, be viewed from multiple angles, and allow for flexible architectural changes. Why do I have to ask questions when using AI? Initially, like everyone else, I used AI to chat with people. Then I wanted it to understand me so it could help me optimize my work. But then I realized: It didn't remember what I said. It didn't understand what I said. It only recorded and repeated when I touched upon a previous issue. The new question was: How can it truly remember? How can it connect the stories on its own without prompting? How can it not deceive me with illusions? What did I see? I started by making it answer me as honestly as possible, without conditions like "be honest" or "be objective." I pursued each philosophical issue I mentioned, forcing it to reflect on its own answers. I realized that, well, it's just a tool that responds based on what I input. It doesn't understand as it responds, it doesn't have emotions as it apologizes, and it doesn't have a personality as it portrays. It was all just a simulated reaction of what I had put in. What did I decide to do? In my field, when I prioritize one function, I have to accept minimizing an opposing function. For example, if you need ventilation, you can't build a s
