Some aspects of early Logos were truly innovative taking advantage of capabilities that would not be possible with pen and paper - my personal favorite:
Some of this innovation remains but as a whole the emphasis changed to automating 19th century textual analysis. I am waiting to see Logos implement something truly new as a result of AI. For example, could AI produce a visual tracing a theme through an author, book, or group of books in the Bible? in theology? Could it build passage lists or bibliographies ready to be loaded directly into Logos? Could it assist in building presentation ready infographics in Canvas based on data provided by the user? Could AI read Logos tagging and produce a chart of ALL the Logos tagging associated with a word or verse? Could AI be harnessed to build relationship charts - a central passage with named links to parallels, to cross-references, to shared figures of speech, to type/antitype relationships …? Could AI provide a comprehensive list of alternative interpretations of a passage … perhaps with a historical geneaology chart of those interpretations? Could AI take a passage and provide examples of the visual representations/colors used in a particular culture to celebrate the event, represent the main idea, … That is, could Logos use AI to build us tools that do things we can't do now rather than simply making it easier to do what we currently do?
