I’ve had several deep experiences in which platitudes held transformative meaning, but I think you’re right.
I think they are symbolic placeholders for something experiential, and holding onto what gives them meaning is like trying to grasp the wind as it blows.
One of my biggest hang-ups in life, and I’m old enough that wisdom and experience should carry me through it. Hasn’t happened yet.
Lots of platitudes address it, but platitudes are only true when viewed from the other side of things, not within the thick of it.
The people that are open to exploration and travel are generally not the ones opposed to progressive city planning.
The fear-based mindset opposed to change at any cost is not exactly conducive to exploring other cultures.
I don’t use them regularly, but I agree. Actual research involving peer-reviewed journals has nothing to do with AI.
EBSCOhost, PNAS, JStore, etc., all continue to exist outside the realm of AI, and I don’t really consider anything to be “research” outside of this realm.
