Like LEGO bricks, the magic happens when you connect them in unexpected ways.

AI is the gasoline in the innovation fire.

Are you using AI in your language-learning journey? If so, how?

I use it regularly to:
- ELI5 different grammar examples/rules
- Explain cultural context behind different phrases
- Ask vocab questions (two words mean the same thing, when to use which)
- To augment a vocab list (Claude + Google Sheets) with example sentences and conjugations for an Anki deck.

I guess this is essentially how benchmarking works but with models evaluating their own output (and output of other models) instead of humans.

It's not long until it will be able to manipulate things on the screen as well, at which point we're on the final straight to "self-driving computers" as Ben Thompson described it.

The amount of productivity and creativity this will unlock, and its ripple effects (good and bad), feels boundless.

It's mind-boggling that I can pull up a hyper-intelligent assistant and just talk to it about anything that's on my screen (limited to specific apps for now, but I'm sure not for long) - talk through problems, debug code together, brainstorm, bounce ideas, etc.

Wow.

I used OCR to lift the list of words from the physical book and then used Claude plugin for Google sheets to generate metadata and example sentences, then ChatGPT to design the card layout & styling. Worked perfect for my use case.

Here are some card examples:
