Gary McGraw<p>Thirty years ago, I published my PhD dissertation on Letter Spirit --- all about creativity, AI, and cognitive science. My advisor was Doug Hofstadter. Last week I was asked to give a keynote talk about that work in France.

I will spend some time discussing the role of roles (and other mental structures) in creativity and human perception. Then I’ll take a quick run through the current state of “AI” (really ML) so we get a feeling of how LLMs actually work. We will talk about WHAT MACHINES and relate them to human cognition.
