I worked with ChatGPT4 and 3.5 to figure out a list of thinkers compatible with my way of thinking by using Jordan Peterson as a contrast, knowing that we overlap in many areas and yet whatever that “something is” that always rubs me wrong SHOULD show up as I layout dichotomy after dichotomy, narrowing down as I go.
I liked the list I ended up with well enough to try to get a prompt that could generate that list. I’m on the 3rd iteration of that prompt and this time is the best so far.
