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.

ChatGPT is an awful writer, but it’s a pretty darn good editor.
If you write the content yourself, and prompt it to be an editor, not a writer, it will make great suggestions to improve the flow of your content.

Everyone’s giving backlash on GPT5. I like it, personally. I hated how sycophantic previous versions were. The last thing I want is a “yes man” in my ear all-day.

Y’ALL IT HAPPENED. ChatGPT’s research feature just referenced me in its own research while generating a report…for me.
This feels a lot like when I used to search Stack Overflow for an answer to a question…only to find that I was the one who previously answered that question.
Does this mean I made it? Am I famous now?

I’m really beginning to notice that using AI effectively is, itself, a skill. People always position it as a magic solution, but you can DEFINITELY tell when someone lazily copypasta’s an AI response vs using AI to help them cultivate a thoughtful reply.

I’ve come to find that telling AI to “stop being clever and just say the damn thing” seems to be very effective at getting better heading copy 😂
