So the question for those building AI tools, how do you ensure the human element shines in your creation?

Every AI model consists of human-designed algorithms, human-curated data, and human-evaluated outcomes - with all of our beauty and our flaws.

If we want to create impact, trust, and increase adoption, we dismiss our critical involvement at our peril.

We often talk about AI as if it’s self-thinking. But we know it's not.

At it's core - crafted by human hands and ingenuity.

Anthropomorphizing AI creates mistrust. It also makes people more pissed when it "hallucinates" - that clever slag for "we got shit wrong".

and ignore all of the MRR screen shots, most of which aren't real. Engage with folks like Justin who are sharing actually valuable information. Seek feedback and learning, especially with customers, and build. You got this!

Smh… I couldn’t even buy an Xbox for my kid on the Xbox site for similar reasons. Had to go via Amazon. Insanity.

I really enjoy using Gummy Search for quickly identifying sentiment, problems, and desires within Reddit communities. It's a super helpful tool.

Ultimately, by having a lot of people pay your for the product/service. But how can you get a strong signal that it's good without risking huge loss?
1. Define the problem you're solving/need your filling
2. Talk to your potential customers
3. Crystalize the message and get launguage market fit

Great stuff, Natia. Came across you recently and really appreciate your insights. Here are a few more Subreddits that allow submissions in case they are helpful to your readers.

What have you learned from the experiement so far. Would welcome the insights.

IMO there is nothing bad about adding value to people's lives. Even if that ports them over to some other paid thing you created that can add even more value.

Agree. Would also add, "Don't build s#!t until you have language market fit." The best product in the world is of no use if people can't understand its purpose and value, and the message doesn't grab attention and get interest.
