In today’s episode, let’s talk about what you would improve.
What would you improve? No matter what you’re doing, there’s probably other ways to do it. Some of those ways might even be better, but you don’t know them. You can’t see them. You’re locked into the way you’ve always done it because that’s what you know, and that’s okay. That’s human. That’s the way you and I are. I’m 100% that way.
AI is not. Generative AI models have seen most ways to do most things, and their knowledge in aggregate is greater than any human could ever hope to know — even for a tiny sliver of a specialization. So, whatever you’re doing, whatever your current standard operating procedure is, chances are there’s a better way to do it, and all you have to do is ask.
I was editing some video the other day in Adobe Premiere, which is a very, very powerful tool. I don’t know Premiere all that well. It’s not something that I have spent a lot of time with. As a result, I do things kind of inefficiently in Premiere. So, what do you do?
Well, what I did was I went into Google’s Gemini real-time, and I said, am I doing this right? The other day, I was looking at some Python code that we used to generate the Trust Insights newsletter. I was looking at thinking the HTML and CSS it generates is good, but it feels like we’re missing something. It could be better.
So, I asked generative AI, here’s my code and what would you improve? And it’s like, wow, dude, you’re not using media queries at all. Media queries are essential for adapting layouts and styles based on screen size. Without it, your email’s going to look like crap on mobile screens.
Like, well, clearly I’m not a designer. So, I asked it to tell me what the better way is. And it said, by the way, your string replacement and your reg-based HTML, brittle and error-prone — not good. Use beautiful soup to modify the HTML instead. It will be the single most robust improvement you can make to the code itself. And then I said, okay, cool, make the changes, and it did. It did a great job.
The lesson here is to ask the tools that we use to watch us do our work, to say, what would you improve? How could we do this better? And it will do a great job. They will do a phenomenal job with that.
If you find any task to be time-consuming, turn on an AI tool that can watch your screen and tell you, here’s some ways you could do this better. You will save so much time. You will save so many headaches, and you will find ways of doing things that you didn’t think about before because that’s the way these models work. They have a much bigger, wide perspective than you and I do.
That’s going to do it for today’s episode. Thanks for tuning in. Talk to you soon.
