For example, "Generate a complete spec sheet with all the features, components, design elements needed to capture the Stripe vibe." Then you can say, "Instead of vague directions, give me exact specifications." You can say, "Background soft multi-stop gradient blur around the edges.
Varun MayyaHOST
Teal green to desaturated yellow with a pale off-white radial center So the next thing we can do is personas, right? You can ask the AI to be Shakespeare today, you can ask the AI to be Varun Mayya today, you can ask the AI to be Sam Altman today, because it's trained on their writing, right? On all these people's writings and, in some cases, their videos as well.
Varun MayyaHOST
You get a rough expansion of their thinking process, because writing is thinking.
Varun MayyaHOST
It can kinda extrapolate the way Sam Altman would think or the way Paul Graham would think, or how, at least their writing style.

Varun MayyaHOST
Instead, use direct affirmative sentences.
Varun MayyaHOST
Feel free to be creative with your sentence structures and expression styles." By doing this one statement, that f-first line, you're removing like sixty, seventy percent of that LLM style writing.
Varun MayyaHOST
Another example I use is I use these and then also mix up a bunch of people's styles, and I write like Paul Graham mixed with Varun Mayya mixed with ...
Varun MayyaHOST
You know, I give it like three, four people.
Varun MayyaHOST
Let's begin.

Varun MayyaHOST
So what you're essentially trying to aim for is at least one or two years where you're the only player, and when people have a need, they come to you.
Varun MayyaHOST
Like Varun Mayya for English tech or AV for video quality or Yash for end-to-end YouTube.
Varun MayyaHOST
All of these ideas, when AV did the video school or when AV combined the, the channel combined infotainment, uh, with skits, it's all very new ideas, right? And we knew we had at least a year or two of no competition.
Varun MayyaHOST
And I think, uh, we continue to do that with, you know, the experiment with games and stuff.
Varun MayyaHOST
Writing is a type of thinking.
Varun MayyaHOST
There's a reason today with AI I can't upload like 10 documents of Varun Mayya's old writing and say, "Write like this person." It'll, it'll speak in the style of me, but it won't think...
Varun MayyaHOST
It won't end sentences the way I do, 'cause it can't extrapolate situations like I do because it's not thinking like me.
Varun MayyaHOST
It's mimicking my style, it's not mimicking my thinking.
Varun MayyaHOST

So colleges are not useful, but it cre- it creates a degree cushion in your mind, in your parents' minds.

So one big question that people have is how do you become creative? And this is a question I get asked a lot, especially on Instagram, which is, Varun, how do I become a creative person? And, you know, then they'll take courses and then they'll, you know, they'll look at YouTube videos on how to be creative.
Varun MayyaHOST
But the truth is creativity comes from a lot of practice and experience.
Varun MayyaHOST
And I'm going to take the or I'm going to describe how creativity works through an example of a piano player.
Varun MayyaHOST
And sure, randomness kind of governs the world.
Varun MayyaHOST
But then, you know, as I was talking to two occupational therapists the other day, they told me that, look, Varun, it is very important for a child to believe in fairy tales and very important for a child to believe that the world is secure.
Varun MayyaHOST
A child needs to hear stories about how things like true love works or about how, you know, Santa Claus exists or the truth fairy exists.
Varun MayyaHOST
And these fairy tales actually strengthen the child's belief that the world is a safe and a secure place.
Varun MayyaHOST
I'll give you a very good example.
Varun MayyaHOST
We can do all the motion graphics in the world for my channel, for Varun Mayya channel.
Varun MayyaHOST
We can do the craziest video.
Varun MayyaHOST
