The ChatGPT Vortex (Send Snacks 🌀)
Have you ever opened ChatGPT (or any other AI tool) just to ‘quickly check something’……and three hours later you’ve: • designed a new program • written half a book • restructured your entire business mode • explored your childhood money beliefs • and somehow ended up researching medieval horse tack 🙃 Welcome to the ChatGPT Vortex. It happens to me more often than I'd like to admit! It begins innocently, usually with an 'I wonder ....' that leads me to AI with a question. That question leads to another. Then another. Then a ‘just one more refinement.’ Then, ‘Actually, what if we built a global standards initiative while we’re here?’ Suddenly it’s dark outside, my coffee is cold, and I'm not entirely sure what dimension I'm in On the plus side, I have a 24-month institute formation roadmap, three course outlines, and a surprisingly philosophical reflection on the nature of purpose. The truth is, the vortex isn’t entirely a bad place to be. Ideas expand. Possibilities appear. Thinking stretches. And sometimes the most powerful breakthroughs arrive when curiosity is allowed to run a little wild. AI is a wonderful and powerful tool - but needs to be used intentionally. If you get find yourself caught in the AI Vortex too, here's a, gentle reminder to: • stand up • drink water • blink occasionally • and maybe step outside to see and touch an actual horse or a tree, or anything in nature - (the original non-AI intelligence). QUESTION What unexpectedly brilliant idea has the AI vortex dropped into your lap recently?
