Divergence and abstraction in GPT4 in metaphor space and then concretization.
We asked GPT4 to enumerate (1) the contrast (B) between two metaphors in a certain metaphor space, and then abstract (2) the contrast. The abstracted contrast was then applied to different domains and made concrete (3).

nishio.iconI heard an episode about nomads not feeling ashamed of running away. Briefly explain what you think about "running away" in bullet points.
GPT-4.iconThe following is a brief bulleted list of ideas regarding "running away.
SITUATION: If fleeing is the best option, it is accepted as an appropriate decision.
Risk Management: It is important to ensure your own and others' safety by fleeing and avoiding unnecessary risks.
Flexibility: The flexibility to choose to flee when the situation calls for it will lead to finding new opportunities and directions.
