</div> Yes, amazing. It shows how in the future we can converse directly with any present and especially historical figure such as any philosopher, mathematician, scientist or musician. And they can not only repeat their ideas but explain them at any level of expertise. Imagine having Newton, Einstein, Gödel or von Neumann as your personal tutor. And even if the person had a difficult personality you can change it to make them an excellent assistant. Such flexibility is possible.
<div class="">
</div>
<div class="">
There can even be debates between such chat bots and more importantly integration of different ideas transforming them into new discoveries. In other words they can cooperate to generate new ideas.
</div>
<div class="">
</div>
<div class="">
Just like I had Kleene (tutored by <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">Gödel and Church</span> while at Princeton) as a real live personal one-on-one tutor one Summer, now it becomes possible to have such a relationship with any historical figure.
</div>
<div class="">

<div class="">
It changes the very nature of education and the process of discovery.
