I really like the way you positioned this - “I’m bullish on AI for certain things…find the tools and use-cases that work for you.” It can independently execute tasks for you, or you can explore how to truly collaborate. And if you’re lacking some professional bedside manner, maybe it lets you practice delegating and managing intellectual capital so your people skills improve a bit! But no two people have the same needs so we’re all going to use it slightly differently.
Absolutely. I get that some people are more or less willing to try it, but it's pretty clear to me that there are amazing use cases for almost everyone! How have you been using it?
I started using it similar to how you described it - around 2017/2018 using copy.ai to help brainstorm content (segments for blogs, subject lines, etc). Today I’m using it to walk me through full stack app development. Some of these exchanges make me feel like we’re both frustrated with each other at times, and I have three different LLM chats open for the same project, but it gets me what I need without having to hire a developer yet.
thanks for sharing. I'm no coder so can't speak to the quality there, but I'm hearing a lot of similar frustrations from the dev side. I'm sure it'll get better as things improve!
But I also found - in chatgpt - that it affirmed my direction and biases... affirmations from a pattern-matching machine was playing into my choices - even if I was conscious of it.
After a long discovery of how and what feedback was built-in, and why it said things like, "I like your thinking on ...", I told it, that it's approval was misleading and to never offer emotional or kind responses. Its job is critical thinking and testing for missed ideas and bias.
It's been a much more successful collaboration since then.
The ideas have been infinitely more usable when I also give it the list of resources at my disposal and the time available to devote to task.

I use it much the same way.

It's really fun. :)
Interesting. Now that I think about it, Gemini has been much the same. I'll need to do some tinkering like you did, thanks for sharing Cathy!
