Tier B · TL;DR
Most people are still using AI like this: ask → answer → forget

Claim

Most people are still using AI like this: ask → answer → forget. Andrej Karpathy is pointing at something different. Instead of chatting with AI, you build your own personal Wikipedia with it. notes, articles, screenshots, messages, research & the AI turns all of that into a living knowledge system.

Mechanism

an AI that doesn't just answer questions, but understands context across your life and work.

Conditions

Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).

Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

Evidence

"Most people are still using AI like this: ask → answer → forget."
