I’ve been working on a business plan and have been running projections through Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT to compare numbers. What’s interesting is that while the numbers are fairly consistent across all three, they all seem very optimistic. Almost aggressively so. My husband is seeing the same pattern using all three models while building out a direct mail campaign. The response rates, conversions, and ROI all land on the high side regardless of which model he uses. I’m curious if others have noticed this too. Do you find AI tends to default toward best-case scenarios? If so, what’s been most effective for you to feel like you have real world, realistic data you can rely on?

@Monica Froese sold me on NotebookLM and @Jeanette Stein showed me I need to asking way more of chatGPT For me 2025 was a hodge-podge of platforms, tools and systems. All exciting. 2026 is refinement and intention...what can make me money in 20-25 hours a week. Let us know what you adding, refining and dropping in 2026

First — thank you to everyone who showed up for my talk this afternoon! And holy wow, 40+ of you joined the waiting room for my Skool community right after. That genuinely made my entire week. 💚 And as we wrap up this summit, I want to chat with you about something I've been sitting with the question entire week...the question of whether I have ADHD. I don't have a formal diagnosis. I might never get one. But I know my experience is real. And one of the clearest patterns I've noticed? My brain gets MORE anxious when ideas, tasks, or projects aren't captured somewhere I trust. Here's the thing: Capturing and implementing are two completely different things. It's actually been so interesting to see your responses to my other post about that (here) and how this community is PRETTY damn split! And it made me think... Just because an idea or project isn't a "right now" doesn't mean it's not a "someday." And my ADHD brain needs to know that idea is LOGGED somewhere safe so I can trust myself to come back to it when the time is right. For me, the anxiety doesn't come from having a list of somedays. The anxiety comes from NOT capturing. From losing ideas. From that nagging feeling that something important slipped through the cracks and I'll never remember it again. This is why I focus so much on systems that capture. Not to do everything. Not to finish 47 projects at once. But to build infrastructure that holds the ideas safely so my brain can actually relax. Because when I know nothing gets lost? I can focus on the ONE thing that matters right now without the background noise of "but what about that other idea I had last Tuesday?" That's what sustainable systems do. They don't force you to act on everything immediately. They give you permission to park things intentionally — and trust you'll find them again when it's time. If you're neurodivergent and you've ever felt guilty for having a long list of "somedays" — this is your reminder that the list isn't the problem. The list is the solution.

Any other artists or creators here have conflicting feelings about the latest trend of AI-generated caricatures of ourselves? Here’s the following prompt for context along with my results below: “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.“ Feel free to try it and tell me how it goes.
