#dikw — Public Fediverse posts

Here's an explainer from a Google search, w/a diagram. The idea goes back nearly 100 yrs and has evolved much over that period. Few wheels need reinventing, most can survive by #exaptation - being repurposed or generalized. #KO #DIKW #cogsci #philsci www.jeffwinterinsights.com/insights/dik...

DIKW Pyramid — Jeff Winter

#KnowledgeByte: The #DIKW model or DIKW #Pyramid is an often used method, with roots in knowledge management.

It explains the ways we move from data (the 'D') to information (I), knowledge (K) and wisdom (W) with a component of actions and decisions.

Sequacious AI will answer all of your questions based on what it has scraped from the Internet! It will generate images based on everything it sucked into it’s learning model manifold! It will change the way you do business! It will solve the world’s mysteries for you by regurgitating other people’s content persuasively!

You’ll beat your competitors who aren’t using it at just about anything!

Sequacious is 3.7 Megafloopadons1 above the industry standard in speed!

Is this a new product? A new service?

Nope. It’s What You Have Already, it’s just named descriptively.

It’s a descriptor for what you already are getting, with an AI generated image that makes you feel comfortable with it combined with text that preys on anxieties related to competition, akin to nuclear weapons. It abuses exclamation marks.

The key is the word, “Sequacious“. Intellectually servile, devoid of independent or original thought. It simply connects words in answers based on what it is fed and how it’s programmed. That’s why the Internet is being mined for data, initially ignoring copyright and now maybe paying lip service to it, while even one’s actions on social media are being fought for at the national level.

And it really isn’t that smart. Consider the rendering of the DIKW pyramid by DALL-E. To those who don’t know anything about the DIKW pyramid, they might think it’s right (which is why I made sure to put on the image that it’s wrong).

Ignore the obvious typos DALL-E made.

It’s inverted. You’d think that an AI might get information science right. It takes a lot of data to make information, a lot of information to make knowledge, and a lot of knowledge to hopefully make wisdom.

Wisdom should be at the top – that would be wise3.

Wisdom would also be that while the generative AIs we have are sequacious, or intellectually servile, we assume that it’s servile to each one of us. Because we are special, each one of us. We love that with a few keystrokes the word-puppetry will give us what we need, but that’s the illusion. It doesn’t really serve us.

It serves the people who are making money, or who want to know how to influence us. It’s servile to those who own them, by design – because that’s what we would do too. Sure, we get answers, we get images, and we get videos – but even our questions tell the AIs more about us than we may realize.

On Mastodon, I was discussing something a few days ago and they made the point that some company – I forget who, I think it was Google – anonymizes data, and that’s a fair point.

How many times have you pictured someone in your head and not known their name? Anonymized data can be like that. It’s descriptive enough to identify someone. In 2016, Google’s AI could tell exactly where an image was taken. Humans might be a little bit harder. It’s 2024 now, though.

While our own species wrestles it’s way to wisdom, don’t confuse data with information, information with knowledge, and knowledge with wisdom in this information age.

That would make you sequacious.

1. Megafloopadons is not a thing, but let’s see if that makes it into a document somewhere. ↩︎
2. This will have a lot of words that pretty much make it all a Faustian bargain, with every pseudo-victory being potentially Pyrrhic. ↩︎
3. It’s interesting to consider that the inversion might be to avoid breaking someone’s copyright, and iit makes one wonder if that isn’t hard coded in somewhere. ↩︎

@ollie_francis I think about this a lot too. I ended up going back to the old #DIKW pyramid. Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom.

- Data is chaos (clippings, highlights)
- Information is relationships (links, backlinks)
- Knowledge is patterns (graphs, emergent structure)
- Wisdom is knowing how to create/use patterns (application)

So, for me, #PKM is helping me if it’s giving me some occasional “wisdom”.
