I'm probably having more conversations with the AI now than I am with real people.
And I thought then it was a very impressive piece of tech and speculating, gosh, you know, is this past the Turing test? This is like nothing I've ever seen.
But then once the novelty wears off, it's, well, what do I do with it? Well, what's it actually good for? And the answer back then was absolutely nothing.
And it didn't take too long when they gave it access to the internet and suddenly it became a much more effective search tool than Google.
And so for quite a while, probably a year after that, The big thing for me was I would just constantly be using it for search or to answer questions.
After you and Duncan, who we've had in the podcast as well, we started talking about how he'd been using it to generate some materials.
And then I don't even know what it was, but I finally figured out how to use the co-work feature.
It's so interesting that Becky doesn't like Opus 4.7 because I think I get what she's saying about how it's a bit slow.
But for me, I feel like I can just trust its output so much more than anything else.
