In this episode, I share how a small, easily ignored setting completely changed ChatGPT’s responses…in a good way. I discuss the personalization settings, including base tone, custom instructions, memory, and advanced settings, and go into detail about how “programming” ChatGPT how to respond, immediately made for a WAY better user experience. If you’ve ever thought “this thing is fine but kind of annoying,” this episode is for you.

In this episode I share my predictions on who I think will win this AI race, both as it relates to the users and the industry. I break down the three traits that I believe will set people up for success, then shift into my present-moment take on which company seems best positioned to wear the crown. Along the way I get into the environmental realities, the big emotions that keep popping up around AI, and how humans are always the biggest variable in any prediction.
