My take: what’s happening is the same thing that happens with every new revolutionary piece of technology—we stop exercising some mental muscles because the tool makes that particular task easier.
Think about it: GPS weakened our sense of direction, calculators slowed our mental math, and the internet made our memory lazier.
But no one says you’re an... See more

Alex Dobrenko: What is your personal AI thesis? The core belief that drives all your decisions around these tools?
Seth Godin: It's probably the talking dog thing, which has two parts. Part one is if you meet a talking dog and its grammar isn't very good, don't forget that it's still a talking dog. It's still a miracle. But number two is just... See more

The AI Branding Wars Have Begun
AI models are getting better — all of them. The gap between the top and 10th-best has been cut in half in a year, and the top two models are basically tied.
Large language models are increasingly, and similarly competent because they are trained on largely the same datasets — the Common Crawl, a massive archive of... See more

Two useful AI tactics
Create a document, several pages long, that explains who you are. What sort of learner are you? Do you have degrees or expertise? What sort of change are you making, who works with you, what are your standards? How do you want to engage?
Periodically, upload the doc to the chat you’re having with an LLM. Let it know you’re... See more

Seth's Blog : Two useful AI tactics
Everyone wants the summary. But the summary is what's left after someone else decided what matters. Their priorities aren't yours. Their filters aren't yours. When you operate on summaries, you're thinking with someone else's brain.
Not long ago, young people were told: “Learn to code.” That’s not working so well now. The first wave of AI is destroying the workaday tech jobs—perhaps there’s some karma in that.
But it also makes sense. When Dr. Frankenstein makes the monster, he’s usually the first victim.
So forget coding, and develop the real skills that we need now—and they... See more
