A metaphor for LLMs: an electric bicycle for the mind.

Bicycles are about extending human agency but you're very much still steering.

If you already know how to bike, you can do an electric bicycle, it has all the same affordances!

In tech we jump right to "self driving cars", and then it turns out to be significantly harder than we thought to get there.

Doing something like electric bikes for the mind is in the adjacent possible; unlocks value immediately and provides a base to grow.
