I just read about a 24 year old Matt Deitke turning down a $125 million offer form Meta. Mark Zuckerberg then doubled the offer to 250 million plus incentives. The deal was closed Crazy!

I don’t know the total potential of AI. I certainly know it can be used to write papers, do research. I am also aware of the tremendous potential to speed up tasks and timelines to enhance innovation… In Healthcare, Scientific Discovery, Transportation, Defense, and High-Level Problem Solving.

I know that some learning institutions are concerned that students are overutilizing it for research papers and much more. Companies are afraid workers will use it to cut corners. Workers are scared AI will replace them.

I use it on a daily basis and I think a lot of people are doing the same.

I don't make AI posts, but I do let ai clean up the posts I make.

I have always had a strong sense for ideas. Concepts and topics come naturally, usually while I'm sleeping. I know what I want to share in the post and why I want to do so. I organize my thoughts, and write it all out, start to finish. Every post, every article, every insight is 100% organic and original. That part’s never outsourced.

I am not a writer. My first class in college was remedial English. I have dyslexia, horrible spelling, and even write words out of place. I don’t obsess over perfect grammar or syntax.

What I do care about is clarity and impact. For me and my guess others like me, that’s where AI comes in. I use it as a final polish, tightening up language, improving structure, and making sure the message I set out to share lands the way I intended. It’s my voice, my thoughts, my point of view AI just sharpened to be more on point.

Like many things I have encountered in life good things can be used for bad and bad things can be used for good. These are not mutually exclusive.

Artificial Intelligence is evolving at warp speed, transforming industries, disrupting norms, and sparking debates.
