Do you call a handyman to fix leaking pipes? No. Why? It’s a specific problem that needs fixed right, the first time. Then why are you using general AI to solve a specific problem that needs to work the first time? Use narrow AI instead.

And if you absolutely must “research”, at least document it Use Substack, YouTube, or some other medium to explain what you learn This will force you to learn well enough to explain and you’ll build something in the process
Skip the “research” Start building When you need to learn something you will Pre-build “research” is just procrastination

We need more AI like Stockfish: •REALLY good at one thing •Is part of a useful tool/app/site •Can be somewhat agentic •Not necessarily a chat bot Narrow AI like this is WAY better than frontier models at one thing.

You ever find something you really enjoy doing don’t get paid to do and aren’t that good at? I think that’s called a hobby.

Run experiments. You overthink less, take more action, and get more done. Plus, if it bombs, it was just an experiment. No big deal.

General AI is good But what if you need great? That’s where narrow AI comes into play
