I've never really considered using Ai for much of anything. When Seth talked about writing four million words it reminded me that I have 400 blog posts in addition to my substack. I've long wanted to organize them into a book of essays etc. This feels like a non dirty way of using the technology.
My first goal was to organize the 400+ blog posts and substack writings into something. Jasper picked 4 posts and categorized them into 4 "chapters". I want all of them sorted in some way.
I think the same reason I don't do it myself is the same reason I can't take the time to dig into better prompts.
Though I will say Jasper regurgitated my work according to my substack "about" section which was very elementary, aka seemed lame.
I used Sublime's Chat the other day to take a collection of "good questions" on sublime and organize them into a zine/essay/structure and it did a good job but it was mostly text, not links.
Honestly I believe I sent it to the URL’s assuming it would be sufficient.
I got an early Sublime invite from@Alex Dobrenko`. Told him recently I’d give it another whirl. Struggled to keep it top of mind as a work tool, but that's likely an adhd thing as much as anything.
These are the conversations about AI we need more of, thanks Seth and Alex! My big takeaway relates to framing creativity FOR others rather than just for me. I fear using AI in my creative work because I feel like I'm cheating and the work won't be entirely mine to own (e.g. Claude helped me figure out the end to my story after I prompted what I struggled with and why I liked the endings of stories like X, Y, and Z). Casting aside the fact that ALL of us creatives have borrowed from other creatives from the dawn of time without AI (see: Kirby Ferguson's "Everything's A Remix")—I need to have a heart-to-heart with myself and ask, "What matters more: that this project gets out into the world to help others solve a problem OR my ego gets a long, heavy stroke because I put something out there that's mine ALL mine?" I love that Seth is full speed ahead, literally, on the former.

Nice work Alex
I played around with both Jasper and Designr and was left wanting more. Any recommendations appreciated.
What are you trying to do exactly? Paste text/links and convert to a beautiful book?

How did you feed all 400 into Jasper?

So good and empowering! Thank you for this!

An excellent discussion!
