It's not just any Dialogue
One of the things that attracts me about current AI is the way of interaction, since language, and dialogue in particular (not all) can be the basis of the creative process.
BohmDialogue is a form of FreeAssociationThinking conducted in groups with no predefined purpose
Conducted in groups of 10 to 40 people sitting in a single circle for a few hours during regular meetings or days in a workshop
Participants suspend their thoughts, motives, impulses, and judgments to explore and attempt to "Think together" collectively
It is not a discussion, lecture, discourse, or debate but a mutual exploration of human thought
The aim is to observe how hidden values and intentions can control conduct and how cultural differences can clash
Dialogue allows for collective learning and can lead to increased harmony, fellowship, and creativity
There are no firm rules for conducting a Dialogue as its essence is learning through creative participation
Participants examine preconceptions, prejudices, thinking patterns, and share insights
Starting a BohmDialogue involves suspension of thoughts, having between 20 to 40 participants in a circle, setting a duration of about two hours, having experienced facilitators, and beginning with any topic of interest
In a Dialogue, new insights and creativity can emerge, and participants are encouraged to consider conflicting possibilities and hold opposing views simultaneously.
Creativity is a collective process, examples are creative dyads, or the unfolding of a dialogue... Can AI also be a partner in the process?
