There's a lot more dimension to the notes we take than what is actually written down. You can share your notes to other people and their interpretation would be very different to what you intended. It even happens with full books and articles. Even lots of metadata don't really help.

Text is a very linear medium. It's just the spark while our wealth of experiences is the fuel. No amount of wrangling the word "pain" will compare to actually experiencing it.

You'll better be served by just having a space repetition system for the notes you've taken. In this way, you'll be reminded of the whole experience when you took the note instead of reading words that were never written by someone who have lived.

AI at its best can be improvement on human recall, but even at its best it is not

> instant and total recall of our thoughts/notes/experiences

Closest is with vector searches & RAG etc., but even that isn't total recall because it will misclassify stuff with current SOTA.

Throwing everything in a pile and hoping an LLM will sort it all out for you, is at present even more limited.

They're good, sure, but you're overstating them.

Hrm. Pretty much every LLM summary I've seen of a document I've read, or a meeting I've attended, at absolute best misses important details and overemphasises trivia, and often just flat-out makes stuff up. I'm not sure I want my own _thoughts_ filtered through that.

How is that different from using selecting a random portion of the archive? If all you want is a sudden remembrance that you maybe have forgotten, you don't need an AI to do that. It's just another complete irrelevant use of AI.
