Im genuinely blown away by llms.

I’m an artist who’ve always struggled to learn how to code. I can pick up on computer science concepts, but when I try to sit down and write actual code my brain just pretends it doesn’t exist.

Over like 20 years, despite numerous attempts I could never get past few beginner exercises. I viscerally can’t stand the headspace that coding puts me in.

Last night I managed to build a custom CDN to deliver cool fonts to my site a la Google fonts, create a gorgeous site with custom code injected CSS and Java (while grokking most of it), and best part … it was FUN! I have never remotely done anything like that in my entire life, and with ChatGPT’s help I managed to it in like 3 hours. It’s bonkers.

AI is truly what you make of it, and I think it’s an incredible tool that allows you to learn things in a way that fits how your brain works.

I think schools should have curriculum that teaches people how to use AI effectively. It’s truly a force multiplier for creativity.

Computers haven’t felt this fun for a long time.
