Building automations in a clean test environment is easy, it's when real users touch it that everything falls apart. Here’s what usually breaks things: ⚠️ Random data formats (dates, phone numbers, emails) ⚠️ API limits that only appear at scale ⚠️ “Small” updates from tools that shift field names or IDs ⚠️ Missed error handling that sends data into the void

This is one of the things that really scares me about AI. I realize that our use is different, focused on business development. There's a great 60 Minutes video on the subject but don't know if I can post the link here.

Well… apparently my little BOT DETECTOR post in the main AI Advantage community caused more turbulence than expected. It survived a whole 2 hours before getting gently escorted off the stage. Reason given: “It might confuse the thread.” Totally fine — I get it. But here’s the part that’s ironic: I posted it precisely to help beginners avoid getting confused. Because half the new members are getting approached by bots and have no idea what’s going on. My intention was simple: ✨ keep humans safe ✨ keep the thread clean ✨ teach new members how to recognize low-effort spam ✨ do it in a fun, memorable way so people actually pay attention But maybe my delivery was a little too… effective 😇 (Moderation bot: “THREAT DETECTED — remove.”) Still love the team — genuinely. No hard feelings. Just amused that the only thing in the community that successfully got flagged was… the anti-bot post 🤖💀 Anyway — since it vanished before some of you saw it, here are the screenshots and the explanation of what it was. If anyone still wants the track or the guide, I can drop them here safely — where context isn’t an issue and beginners actually benefit from it. Humans helping humans. What a concept 😌✨ Also people let us stay inside topic this time in the comments 😉🫰

Within the SAME chatgpt/claude/deepseek conversation, run these prompts in this exact order: Prompt #1: Based on everything you know about me, what is the fastest way for me to make <INCOME GOAL>? Limit to 1 offer and 1 channel. Prompt #2: Who is the #1 person I should learn from to succeed? Prompt #3: Pretend you are that person. Create a simple 90-day action plan that needs <$1,000 upfront and has a 95% chance of success. List the top 3 risks.

Anyone else encounter this thing where they post in a bunch of different groups and then 80% of the DMs end up just being long-winded, poorly made pitches? Whenever I see someone posting an issue, I see no point in waving a carrot in front of them. Just send them the resource/link and move on, build goodwill, what's with this pretense that you have to be compensated for every single idea you produce? I've gone back and forth maybe 4 or 6 times with the same talk track, the other end just mirroring the problem. Telling you they can fix it, then they push for you to give a budget and to then pay them in advance of them telling you HOW they'd fix it. Why is this so common? I've had this happen over a dozen times from all sorts of different Skool groups. I could truthfully deep research and google long enough to find answers, but I'm just trying to converse and learn through people too. I get it, if it's a repeat thing, sure, charge for support, but one-off without any rapport? "Compensate me for my time" while they're just doing the same search engine hopping you could do anyways. Boggles my mind Who's out here paying for ideas? Am I too Canadian? What is this? P.S. This happens primarily in AI groups, stinks the community experience if you're trying to charge everyone with a pulse
