Up Your X/Twitter Game, 8 Prompts to Turn ChatGPT Into Your Life Coach, and a Webpage-to-Markdown Capture Tool
One More Thing AI Does Better Than YouBut This Can Actually Work to Your AdvantageI don’t know about you all, but I get a little tired of hearing how much we suck compared to AI. Seems like every day a headline hits my curation feeds that talks about how companies are cutting jobs, or reading employees the “get on board with AI” riot act. These ever-present reminders of our own inferiority don’t do a lot to build hope or self-esteem. In the meantime, AI needs us more than we need it. The only way for it to get better is for us to train it on how to do our jobs better. Maybe that’s why Uber is pushing for their drivers to start doing exactly that in between fares. Look, I know AI is powerful.There are many, many things it can do better than we ever could.
But that doesn’t mean we’re ready to be put on a shelf. In fact, one thing AI can do better can actually be used to our advantage. Personal MappingI already knew AI could extract key insights from large reams of data with little provocation. During some recent downtime, however, I hadn’t paused to look back on my journey. Specifically, my AI journey. Coming up with over 200 newsletter editions a year, I can find my tank running low sometimes when it comes to content ideas. Looking back has always been a good routine when I get stuck, but these days, our thoughts are so fragmented across a variety of platforms. I can’t even remember every social media or email account I’ve ever had. But ever since ChatGPT became my operating system, I now have a special ability to look back that I’ve never had. On Tuesday, I decided to take stock of my ChatGPT journey for content ideas, so I asked it what I’d used it for in the last 30 days. You can scroll to the bottom of this article to see what it produced for me. Bottom line: it reminded me of a lot of wins and losses I’ve had with ChatGPT over the last month and told me, specifically, what those things were, opening up doors for how I can put past knowledge to future use.
