You’re Probably Using AI Wrong

I like the process of choosing the words I commit to posterity on the internet. I don’t just like it, I cherish it. That’s why, when I outsourced this task to AI in an attempt to be more productive, I was left unimpressed, and gradually, I stopped trying to use LLMs altogether.

What do you stand for? This question is a large one, which can make it intimidating to answer right off the bat. A simpler version would be: What experiences do you regularly prioritize? Examine your lifestyle as an adult, because it is often a tangible manifestation of your internal belief system. If you’re always learning new skills, you value personal growth; if a daily workout feels essential to you, you stand for health; if you prioritize dinners at home, you appreciate a strong family unit. Think about where you spend your resources—time, energy, and money—and you’ll have your answer.
