Had my first ChatGPT anxiety dream last night.
I was running an event & planned to give a toast but didn’t have time to prep & knew ChatGPT could help.
I must have tried 50 prompts in the 5 min before I was due on stage but it wouldn’t work.
So I had to wing it and it was the worst toast ever 🙄

I live in the SF/Silicon Valley echo chamber. These aren’t even that old but I’m officially done hearing the words:
“Slop”
“Maximally”
“[X]-pilled”
I also live in pre-teen land am also done with:
“6-7”
“Bruh”
“Bussin”
“Mid”
“Sus”
Thank be that there’s no Venn Diagram of these phrases here.

I don’t think we do enough persona work in our AI prompts.
“You are my old computer science professor with a thinly disguised drinking problem and a massive chip on your shoulder.”
“You are an overworked junior sysadmin from 2004 who just discovered TikTok and is not okay with it.”

Yet another strange/wonderful use case for ChatGPT … take a screenshot of a PDF and tell it to turn the image into text. .5 seconds later… et voila
