AI thinking partner: ChatGPT and...

ChatGPT Helped Me Fight a Legal Battle in Danish

I spent almost an entire day in early February filling out a 30-page document in a language I’m not fluent in. Not because I had to. Because AI made it possible. And honestly, without it, I would have just dropped the whole thing.Here’s the background: We lived in Denmark for almost two and a half years. When we left, a company that was supposed to help us with an aspect of that process didn’t do what they said they were going to do. They also didn’t refund us like they said they would. It’s a legal matter so I’m keeping the details vague on purpose, but it was enough money that letting it go didn’t feel right.The challenge was finding the right place to file a complaint without going through an expensive lawyer. Once we found that organization, the documents were entirely in Danish. And not just conversational Danish, legal Danish. The kind that’s dense and specific and leaves no room for guessing.So I opened ChatGPT. And we got to work.It’s important to note that they said in the instructions that AI tools were okay to use for this document. more AI experiments:https://ai-fuccio.carrd.co/ [https://ai-fuccio.carrd.co/] This is a public episode.

I Fixed 92 Titles in a Week With AI

I write terrible podcast episode titles. Not beginner-bad. Years-into-it, should-know-better bad. Some of the titles on my old podcast were essentially inside jokes between me and my guest that somehow made it to publish. Nobody searching for anything would ever find them. Nobody scanning a podcast app would ever stop for them. They were just... there. This week I fixed 92 of them. With AI. In seven days. And the most important thing I learned had nothing to do with AI. More:https://aithinkingpartner.substack.com/ [https://aithinkingpartner.substack.com/] This is a public episode.

The Gap Between Thinking and Speaking Is Real. This Helped.

A thank you to Alyssa Fu Ward, PhD [https://substack.com/profile/118913109-alyssa-fu-ward-phd] for her kind comment on the recent ChatGPT to Claude [https://aithinkingpartner.substack.com/p/chatgpt-vs-claude-for-real-work-what] post. It reminded me why I keep showing up here and nudged me to finally write this one. I’ve been helping people communicate my entire adult life. I only started saying that out loud recently because I didn’t realize it was my motivation… until I did. It showed up in temporary jobs I took to put myself through college. It showed up when I went overseas and taught English to adults. It shows up now in the work I do helping people use AI and LLM tools. The thread running through all of it has always been communication. I just hadn’t named it yet. And the reason I can help with it, really help and not just teach it from a textbook, is because I know what it feels like to be completely unable to do it.

ChatGPT vs Claude for Real Work: What I Learned While Applying for an AI Job

Today was one of those days where the laptop never really closes. I spent most of the day applying for a job in the AI space. At the same time, I’ve been trying to slowly transition some of my work from ChatGPT to Claude. Not because ChatGPT stopped working for me. For reasons that we’re all talking about. And because I’m curious. But there’s a big difference between experimenting with tools and actually needing to get work done. So today ended up being a real-world test. I had a job application to finish. I had the beginnings of a new AI-focused website to outline. And I had Chatty and Claude open for hours while I bounced back and forth between them. Chatty helped me with the job application and Claude with the AI website. What came out of that was interesting. Not necessarily in the way people online tend to frame these comparisons.

ChatGPT Just Talked Me Out of a Job

This Was Supposed to Be a Normal Application This week ChatGPT saved me from applying to a job that probably would have drained me. Not because I wasn’t qualified. I was. Not because the pay was insulting. It wasn’t. It would have covered rent. It would have done exactly what I need a “now job” to do while I recalibrate my work life and explore where I want to go next with AI. On paper, it made sense. But something about it felt heavy. And I couldn’t tell whether that heaviness was fear, resistance, laziness, or actual intuition. That’s where ChatGPT came in.
