This article details an iterative process of using ChatGPT to explore the parallels between Marvin Minsky's "Society of Mind" and Anthropic's research on Large Language Models, specifically Claude Haiku. The user experimented with different prompts to refine the AI's output, navigating issues like model confusion (GPT-2 vs. Claude) and overly conversational tone. Ultimately, prompting the AI with direct source materials (Minsky’s books and Anthropic's paper) yielded the most insightful analysis, highlighting potential connections like the concept of "A and B brains" within both frameworks.
