What Jamie wrote
Kottke launched a new Ask Me Anything feature, and got a question on his experiences with AI. He actually used ChatGPT to create the AMA site itself. He goes on…
There have only been a few occasions in my life when I've used or seen some new technology that felt like magic. The first time I wrote and ran a simple BASIC program on a computer. The first time I used the web. The first time using a laptop with wifi. The first time using an iPhone. Programming with ChatGPT over the past few weeks has felt like magic in the same way. While working on these projects with ChatGPT, I can't wait to get out of bed in the morning to pick up where we left off last night (likely too late last night), a feeling I honestly have not consistently felt about work in a long time. I feel giddy. I feel POWERFUL.
Is this a similar inflection point? It seems quite possibly.
