About This Book In our rush to make artificial intelligence more human, we've overlooked a profound opportunity: using AI as a mirror to understand our own minds. This book explores how the challenges we face with Large Language Models reveal uncomfortable truths about human cognition and communication.

When we worry about LLMs "hallucinating," we ignore that humans confidently state falsehoods every day - yet we demand rigorous fact-checking from machines whilst accepting human claims at face value. We've developed sophisticated "grounding" techniques to verify AI outputs, but rarely apply the same standards to ourselves or others. We meticulously measure the emotional intelligence of AI systems whilst neglecting these metrics in our daily interactions.

Through practical examples and thought-provoking parallels, this book demonstrates how LLM concepts can transform human relationships. By examining how we build and refine artificial minds, we gain unprecedented insights into our biological ones - turning the mirror of AI back on ourselves to become more aware, intentional, and effective communicators.

This is not a book about making AI more human. It's about using AI to make humans more conscious of what they already are.
