From my latest post:
"A PKM isn't about storing information. It is a personal architecture aimed at helping you to think and remember."
If your PKM is a thinking tool, not a filing cabinet, the question becomes: can AI help you think better, not just store more?
Has AI changed how you think about your note-taking practice?
I've been wrestling with where helpful AI assistance ends and outsourced thinking begins. There's a version of AI-assisted PKM that builds your cognition, and a version that quietly erodes it.
What's your experience been? I explore my own answer here: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/pkm-cognitive-protection-ai/

One thing five years of Zettelkasten has taught me: productive friction isn't the enemy of learning — it's how learning happens.
Writing notes in my own words, making my own connections — that's where the thinking occurs. It's why I'm careful about where AI fits in my PKM.

Five years of Zettelkasten has convinced me: your PKM isn't just a note store. It's a cognitive architecture — a way of thinking for yourself rather than outsourcing it.
The final post in my AI and cognition series explores how Zettelkasten protects your thinking, and where AI fits in: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/pkm-cognitive-protection-ai/
So if I move to #Gregg #shorthand for my writing, #Kaktovik numbers for calculations, start using a Commonplace book and physical #Zettelkasten notes, will I have any chance against digitized workflows’ speed? I actually want to try that life to see how far computerless life can get one.
Spreadsheets on paper anyone? Abstracting numeric operations by remembering the graphics of them (reminds me of the #APL #ACM paper by Iverson?)
