I'm just going to clarify one point.

> Right. Except… I’m not the one saying:

I've read the interview I mentioned before and he explains how he used the AI and which AIs he used.[1]

It might be a bit confusing. He thinks of the author of the book (the final product of "prompt thinking") as something that's not him and it's not AI either, and that's why he phrased the use of AI like that. Basically, he says he could not have written the book without AI because he would not have thought of the concepts without AI, but he also says AI didn't write the book.

It's true that even if he wrote everything, he used AI to help him think ("prompt thinking"). I imagine that philosophically speaking for him, the book isn't entirely his. In the interview he also talks about how AI manipulates. You can't escape AI manipulation, but you can't be out of the loop. You have to be conscious about the fact that you're being manipulated at all times.

About prompt thinking: it seems to be a technique that uses AI to facilitate thinking in people. It's the reverse of using AI as an oracle.
