Remember in th 2000s when we all developed “ad blindness?” That’s happening with AI content on social media right now.
We can all tell when something is lazily slipped out with AI, and because of the lack of effort and thought that went into it, people just skip over it.
If I wanted to talk to chatGPT, I would. But I’m on here to talk to YOU. So let me hear YOUR voice.
Your social profile should be you. Not a robot acting like you. All that does is water down your brand, and make your word less valuable, and noticed.

People: LLMs are simply predicting the right thing to say in response to you. They can’t think.
Me: Uh…isn’t that exactly what we do in conversation?

Today in my “document all the things” binge, I’m documenting the recommended tooling and solutions we offer for slow websites, based on the result of a pingdom speed test. The hope is my team will be able to more-effectively recommend what I suggest to my clients.

Writing up some documents to help AI with advising my sales team on how to pitch Novatorius services to customers.
AI seems to be mostly shifting my time from doing the thing to documenting the thing. Which, I guess needed to happen if I want to grow regardless.

I started set up a WaaS service earlier this year for campgrounds. I’ve attended one conference, and set up the website, and did some work to get my initial customer base.
Today, we got our first lead from that networking effort. Really exciting stuff!
