The GPS analogy wrecked me - fifteen years in South American cities and you can't sketch a mental map of any of them because you just follow the blue line. I've been doing the same thing with writing, shopping through AI outputs until something fits close enough to claim ownership. The Zero-Shot Morning challenge is going on my wall as a non-negotiable.

Where you at, bro? I've also spent upward of 15 years in South America...

Great assignment and potentially another lost art that rarely produces a large audience but a great writer cardio: journal.

The other day I gave ChatGPT a fully written article to check for editing errors. It said the equivalent of: wow most people can’t write an article on their own. So get ready for some AI compliments.

"AI compliments" is a phrase I didn't know I needed. When the bar drops low enough that writing your own article earns a participation trophy from the machine... we're in a strange place.

Absolutely I think that’s why it was so funny.
