As long as you have a full-time job, you can afford to work only with people you enjoy working with, set your rates flexibly, and hold sessions just for the joy of it. As soon as your income depends on it, a lot changes: marketing, client acquisition, administrative work, financial pressure and emotional strain.

It can become difficult to set clear boundareis and truly unplug after work.

Another point: As your experience grows, so does your responsibility. People come to rely more and more on your advice. Especially when issues go beyond career matters and touch on personal or mental health aspects, it’s important to know your own limits. And, if necessary, refer clients to other professionals.

It reminds me of how, back in school, we used to replace the sound that played when Windows shut down with fart sounds.

That's a nice idea, but it's probably quite easy to do in ChatGPT as well.

It gets interesting with words whose translations into another language have a completely different meaning.

Example: "Gift"

German: Toxoid English: Present Danish: Marriage

A simple translation can therefore backfire. Maybe your tool could warn users about this?

I use Remarkable 2. It's not exactly an e-reader, but more of a notebook and sketchbook with a paper-like surface. It is, however, quite expensive. It's definitely too much money just for reading.

I think it’s generally a good idea to use a standalone, local solution. I also like the approach of combining multiple models with different focuses under a single interface. On the other hand, I usually use very specialized models (for programming, for example) and rarely end up generating music or a video on the side. So I can’t think of a reason to use the system right now.

What target audience do you have in mind?

Well, that's a good idea. Do you plan to add more languages? And what's your business model? If everyone puts together their own personalized feed, you'll have to generate a separate podcast for each person. That could get expensive.

It would be even better if your tool could predict every bet correctly. If everyone could win every bet, then the problem of gambling addicts and the companies that take advantage of them would be quickly solved.

But your solution is cool, too.

That's a really cool solution. I had no idea the AI could do this so well and stick to it so consistently. How do you determine the difficulty level?

It’s not a bad idea in itself, but as others have already said, it can be handled more securely using a local file. Especially now, with all the discussion about sovereignty and local hosting, a service like this is rather counterproductive.

But perhaps this could be used to build a local solution with a little more added value. It might be interesting to use the context to determine which AI solves the problem best or most cost-effectively.

I know people who work in urban planning, and they find this also generally interesting because the data and its visualization can be used to identify areas where action is needed in terms of local transit planning.

I couldn't find a direct option to adjust the font size. Could you add that?

I'd be very interested in that, too.
