What boiled egg pudding taught me about AI

TL;DR

  • The author experimented with AI tools, initially skeptical but later finding them useful.
  • Meta's Muse assistant turned hundreds of saved Instagram recipe videos into a usable recipe book with nutrition facts.
  • AI was used to help write an obituary by synthesizing information from a memoir, capturing the deceased's personality.
  • These experiences converted the author's doubt into cautious belief about AI's transformative power.
  • Despite being a believer, the author maintains a critical perspective on AI companies.
