Victoria Krakovna, a prominent researcher in AI alignment, shared a blog post detailing how she uses LLMs like Claude 3 Opus to analyze her personal life patterns.
By digitizing years of introspective notes, therapy records, and handwritten diagrams, she successfully leveraged AI for:
- Transcription & Summarization: Digitizing handwritten reflection diagrams and summarizing answers to 'Hamming questions' about life's most important problems.
- Problem Mapping: Prompting AI to draw annual graphs mapping out the causal relationships between different life struggles.
- Tracking Dynamics: Comparing graphs across different years to identify persistent negative feedback loops and shifting key nodes.
- Mining Interventions: Extracting reusable psychological interventions from past successful experiences.
She noted that current models have significantly improved in picking up subtle patterns and understanding complex psychological contexts compared to a year or two ago.
