The bet of AI

Exactly three years ago, I wrote a post about the small bet of AI. What a difference in the last three years! And I find it amusing that I can make this comparison so easily using an archive website that AI built.

I distinctly remember the presentation at the Biohacking Conference and being blown away by the example of a realtor creating a video listing with captions on the fly in a couple of minutes. I can imagine the technology has grown leaps and bounds since then.

So where are we now? Have we reached peak AI-slop yet? I don't think we've quite reached the other end of the pendulum's swing, but I know it's coming. In fact, I thought of a label for my content that explicitly states "of human origin" or "Non-AI content." You know that will be coming.

I still write my newsletters, but I use Claude/GPT to help with ideas, headlines, and structure. I use Claude Cowork to maintain my conference directory and build websites. I'm sure I am leaving a lot on the table about where to place my focus next. We've certainly come a long way from three years ago and the maturity of some guy named AI.
