that are generally like things that happened to me or some observation I'll make in the world, and I'll tie it back to some lesson, right? It's secular sermons, if you will, that have some potty jokes and are pretty damn funny if I've achieved my goals. And so what I'll do is say, here's 50 essays I've written over the last however many years, right?

Well, there you go, right? Curb your enthusiasm, but with a It's something like that. It's something like that. And you feed it, you upload what you've written and say, this is my voice.

I'm just saying, give me some thoughts on what's a point of view on tariffs that's interesting. Or I think this is, you know, I think I want to write about tariffs. Give me three examples of why tariffs could be good or tariffs could be bad. Just to start the mental exercise of getting things going. And then, you know, I think what's one thing that AI is really good for in writing is editing.

I'll spend a few hours writing something and I'll take, you know, an 800 word draft or whatever it is and upload it to multiple different GPTs and say, tell me how I can make this better.

It's not perfect, but it's very, very effective.
