TODAY: Late start for me today, but I had a fantastic time at the Levitt Amp Music Series last night here in lovely Fort Smith. Ruthie Foster and Ava Earnhart knocked it out of the park.

I usually get nervous before I do any public speaking on AI, and that only requires me to talk. People who can write, sing, and play their own music (really well, I might add) are more magical to me than any LLM ever could be.

So, hats off to them; check these ladies out when you can!

Okay, let's get caught up!

STP: 🧠ChatGPT's Memory Feature Can Tell How Smart You Are

ChatGPT’s Enhanced Memory Feature can now remember all your chats and discussions that you’ve had with it since the beginning of time—or since you’ve started using it anyway.

That got me curious.

It also understands IQ testing. What if you merged the two together? Would it be able to give you some idea of how smart you are?

Well, yes and no.

It does estimate pretty accurately, but it’s not precise enough to get down to an actual score. It’ll also do better with longer chat histories than shorter ones.

In other words, if you’ve just started your ChatGPT account, what I have for you today might not be as fun. But if you’ve been at it a while, this one is worth giving a go.

After asking ChatGPT to give me a quick assessment of how smart it thinks I am—and watching it proceed to blow smoke up my butt for a little bit—I asked it to turn off the BS and pair its knowledge of me with its knowledge of IQ tests.

📰 AI Is Teaching People How to Write — Whether We Like It or Not

When I first saw the headline — “If you use AI to write me that note, don’t expect me to read it” — I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes.

I assumed FC journalist Mark Wilson was just another “artist” huffing his own farts, ready to condescend from his perch as a “real journalist.” But something told me to slow down and engage with the piece.

I’m glad I did.

Had I just dropped Wilson’s article into ChatGPT and asked for a summary, I would have missed the nuance, some of which I surprisingly agreed with.

There is a lot of AI-generated slop on LinkedIn, and it’s easy to spot: regurgitated insights, pre-chewed opinions, and posts that say everything and nothing at the same time.

Wilson’s metaphor — AI posts being like microwaved meals at a potluck — rings true.

TOOL SPOTLIGHT: ​Younet Launches Personalized AI Agent Platform

Took a little time today to set up my first email agent. It's a simple one. I'm still not really sure what I'll want to use it for long-term, but I grasp the importance of agents at this point, and you gotta start somewhere, ya know?

Younet makes it incredibly easy to do it with Zero Coding skills. It took a few minutes to complete, including me searching for the permissions that I wanted to give it and which documents that I wanted to add to its "Brain."

But now, I have a tool that I can send emails for me and answer questions based on data that's important to me without having to leave the chatbot.

Furthermore, I can add to it as new agent-appropriate use-cases occur to me, AND I can download a Chrome extension so the agent will go with me no matter where I am on the web. You can watch the demo to catch more of its capabilities, or click here.
