Paying for the Right Answer

AI has cracked the “Getting the Answer” Code. Upgrade to Max Subscription. Get the Plus Package. Purchase the next Tier. Sign up for our best response. Yes, imagine that, to get the best answers from AI, you have to pay for it! Just last night, I was working through a coding problem with ChatGPT and was downgraded to their lower model, where the answers got worse, redundant, and started going in a circular fashion.  Even when I said stop, it got going (like someone who doesn’t want to give up). But if I upgrade, I get the better answer package.

The Hot Tub Experiment

I had to winterize a hot tub this weekend. I have never done this in my life. I watched YouTube, I asked ChatGPT, and I looked up the model I had. In the end, water was everywhere, the power was off, and it took longer than I thought. Such is learning, that’s exactly what it is – and now I know how to do it better for next season. Don’t turn that goodness completely over to AI; you’re doing yourself a disservice if you do that. Take your experiment, make it up, jump in, and work the problem. It’s the

Raptured by the Masters

I went to a workshop a few months ago, which wasn’t tech-focused; it was with an artist I had never met before or had ever seen their work. It was an “Illustrated Talk” – when I got there, everyone was pulling out sketchbooks, and when the talk began, a few took a combination of notes and pictures (which was pretty cool to see). I think I stood out like a sore thumb with my laptop (not opened) and like a psycho, I sat there just listening – enraptured by the content. For the next hour, I gleaned so many useful

AI has solved Scope Creep

Remember all those memes about “one more change” for developers when building a product? Scope creep is the number one killer for any project; it’s always one more this, always one more that – there is always one more thing to do to make it perfect. Good news, AI solved the problem. They charge you for how many prompts you ask, and how many credits you have purchased to be able to consider those changes. AI took the biggest developer problem and applied the simplest solution to it – a pay wall. Huzzah for AI!
