When I "confronted" ChatGPT for the facial differences?

Creating a thumbnail for Friday's Unhustled newsletter.
Pretty good illustration of a guy working with AI bot to select a "stretch" read.

Me: Let's make a female version of the human.

Started with a free Kindle version. Nearly quit.

Switched translations. Brought in ChatGPT.

Finished Monte Cristo 1,200 pages later with a lot of feelings and some light trauma.

The Count of Monte Cristo is devastating. Gritted my teeth through the first half. Now can’t put it down. Thankfully, ChatGPT provides some levity. 😆

Me: Cool, but I still need three books, a walk, and a full caffeine cycle to accept that. #Unhustled

Yet another reason I enjoy chatting with ChatGPT about what I'm reading.

Welcome to Corporate Reading Camp. You will hit your Goodreads goal. Or else. 😅

You’re not really reading unless you track your reps, optimize retention, and fuel up with Hemingway shakes.

📜 The History of Hustled Reading:

1200s – Monks pull 16-hour shifts illuminating manuscripts.
1500s – Printing press makes books accessible, but reading is still for scholars.
2024 – Reading is a status symbol, but only if you track it, optimize it, and monetize it.

👇 Maybe we got this wrong?

Overrated: Reading to impress.
Underrated: Reading for you.

Thanks @jgoodson.bsky.social for the rec. @notrollergirl.bsky.social validates why reading for pleasure matters. Hustling through books—just to optimize or impress—is its own kind of harm.

I love reading, but sometimes a book is way over my head. Instead of giving up, I make it fun—with ChatGPT and a little snark. 😆

Here’s how I do it. #Create30

Not gonna lie, 2024 reading numbers feel sooooo good!

But it feels even better seeking out authors who don’t look like me, reading books that challenge my thinking.

My 2025 goals? Less about numbers, more about the variety of voices I let in my head.

How about you?
