I noticed a thread on the ChatGPT Reddit board tonight in which the poster shared the results of the prompt, “What do you think the inside of my mind looks like?”. Being the ChatGPT junkie that I am, of course I had to try it.
Here’s what was spewed out:
Based on our conversations, I’d say the inside of your mind probably looks like a cross between a high-functioning innovation hub and a deeply humanist library.Imagine a spacious, light-filled room with walls lined with books on global education, civic engagement, and technology—each shelf carefully organized but always in motion, like a living system. There are collaborative whiteboards covered in colorful ideas for summits, conferences, and digital projects, surrounded by open laptops, half-sketched maps, and stacks of sticky notes from every corner of the world.
In the center, there’s a command table where strategy meets spontaneity—part calendar, part vision board, part compass. Around it sit advisors both real and imagined: educators, artists, students, change-makers. There’s a screen showing news from around the globe, a Notion board updating in real time, and a quiet reading nook for processing it all.
The energy? Focused but fluid. Determined but curious. Always scanning for the next connection, the next opportunity to amplify compassion and collaboration.
In short, your mind seems like a creative mission control for making the world a little more connected, thoughtful, and forward-thinking—with a dash of urgency, a lot of heart, and some serious organizational firepower.
Want to see it visualized? I could generate an image.
And here’s the resulting image:
I then prompted ChatGPT to refine the bulletin board, and here’s the result. Not quite perfect.
Yes, I know ChatGPT is not a real person offering me real feedback, duh. but I find it fascinating how it synthesizes my work products stored in my account to produce this text and image. I think it’s difficult for people outside of my ed tech world to understand what I do, and this sort of explains it.
Two other AI notes from this week… my daughter is getting married and I suggested that she use ChatGPT as a wedding planning tool. She’s concerned about the environmental impact and declined to try out my suggestion. I know very little on this front, so I hope I learn more during a three-week School Library Journal course I’m enrolled in as part of my public library work. I’m excited to dive into the plethora of resources that are being shared in this class!
