Other related features that’d be easy to incorporate into this are John’s ideas from here:
Imagine a tool in which I write out mathematical equations on the left side, and an AI produces prototypical examples, visuals, or stories on the right, similar to what a human mathematician might do if we were to ask what the mathematician were picturing when looking at the math. (Presumably the interface would need a few iterations to figure out a good way to adjust the AI’s visualization to better match the user’s.)
Imagine a similar tool in which I write on the left, and on the right an AI produces pictures of “what it’s imagining when reading the text”. Or predicted emotional reactions to the text, or engagement level, or objections, etc.
Debugger functionality in some IDEs shows variable-values next to the variables in the code. Imagine that, except with more intelligent efforts to provide useful summary information about the variable-values. E.g. instead of showing all the values in a big tensor, it might show the dimensions. Or it might show Fermi estimates of runtime of different chunks of the code.
Similarly, in an environment for writing mathematics, we could imagine automated annotation with asymptotic behavior, units, or example values. Or a sidebar with an auto-generated stack trace showing how the current piece connects to everything else I’m working on.
I think those would also be pretty useful, including for people writing the math-heavy posts.
That seems like it’d be very helpful, yes!
