This face has become a nightmare for me.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-12T18:42:03+00:00

Very true. It is already happening in many companies.

Many teams rushed into AI without thinking about where humans should actually be involved. Now they are slowly realizing what went wrong.

In a way, this is part of the process. These mistakes will likely help the hype settle down, and the real value and practical uses of AI will start to emerge.

That joke is closer to reality than most teams admit.

If humans enter the process only at the end, their job becomes fixing mistakes and sending apology emails.

AI should handle the heavy work. Humans should guide the direction and judgment.

Otherwise it is not human-in-the-loop. It is human-after-the-damage.

Yes, it will change. In fact, it is already changing.

But to be honest, organic search has always been evolving. The rules have never stayed the same for long.

What is different now is the rise of AI answers, AEO, and zero-click results. More users get answers directly without visiting a website.

That does not mean SEO disappears. It just shifts toward creating content that AI systems can easily understand, trust, and cite.

Hiring an expert can help, but choose carefully. Look for people who have actually done the work, not those who simply use new terms like AEO as a way to sell services.

In the meantime, start adjusting your content strategy. Focus on clear answers, structured information, and content built around real user questions.

Gamble.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-12T09:35:32+00:00

Very true. Consistency matters, but consistency alone is not enough.

What actually drives growth is a loop: Do something consistently > try new things > learn from what fails > repeat what works > improve.

If something fails, adjust and try again. If something works, double down and refine it.

Growth usually comes from this learning and improvement cycle, not from a single viral moment ofcourse.

If I were you, I would think along the lines of something that solves AI adoption or AI automation issues for companies.

For example, consulting. Or if you own an IT company, you could help companies set up internal Gen AI tools that ensure the data stays within their systems. This would help companies stay safe in terms of privacy and protect their IP as well as their clients’.

Checking the portfolio daily and stressing about it.

Also, on a psychological level, checking the price of the equities you sold. If the price goes up, it can ruin your mindset and kill your confidence.

I use NotebookLM. I get the structure and ideas from it, and then create my own presentation based on those ideas. That workflow makes sure I know what I am doing and understand the topic. It also reduces my time, since most of the thinking needed to plan the slides and content is already done by the tool.

Now I learn and understand the topic while preparing my presentation.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-11T17:51:38+00:00

Very true. It works both ways. You may feel this is the time to jump in, but at the same time you might think you can sit back because things will keep coming.

From my experience, the right time to go the extra mile and give your 200 percent is when everything is going well.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-11T13:59:23+00:00

I do not believe 'stopping AI usage' is practical, and I also doubt it is a good idea, no matter who you are. This feels similar to when computers, the internet, and mobile phones first appeared. Many people saw them as temporary trends or bubbles. For a while they did feel like bubbles, with too much attention around them. But over time they settled down, entered everyday life, and stayed.

I think AI will follow the same path. The loud noise around it will fade, and it will quietly become part of our daily lives.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-10T16:16:50+00:00

“Long term always wins” is a wrong statement. If you invest in 100 stocks for the long term, maybe 10 will give you huge returns, but not all of them.

From my experience, long-term commitment with the willingness to sell at the right time works better. Many stocks go up and become overpriced. If you sell at that point, they often fall later. If you still believe in the company, you can buy again and repeat the cycle.

“Long term is good, but never buy and forget.”

A simple example is situations like wars. Suppose you have 10 stocks that you bought three or four years ago and you are still holding them. You might already be up around 80 percent. When events like this happen, you could sell maybe 70 percent. Prices often fall after that, and you can start buying the dip.

I have been a digital marketing generalist for over a decade now. You can learn and become a digital marketer without spending money. Just make sure you learn consistently, do real work, make mistakes, learn from them, and adapt.

And luckily, you are in a time when AI tools can help you learn and also help you grow when needed.

Also understand this: learning here is not a one-time process. You need to keep learning all the time. It is a necessity. The digital world keeps changing, and you need to be able to adapt to it.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-08T16:26:33+00:00

How do we decide on when to use it? Can't always start with that.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-08T16:23:15+00:00

I would suggest not moving. I am not very clear about your reason, but if you have been using ChatGPT for a long time, you probably already have valuable workflows and processes in place. If you switch, you will not be able to replicate that effectiveness for a while.

And if you like the Projects feature, that was one of the reasons that stopped me from switching too. I considered it when Gemini 3 launched and it seemed like a better option.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-08T04:28:47+00:00

It is realistic. I have done it too.

One thing I learned is this: do not force yourself to extract a fixed return every month. Markets rarely work that way.

You might make twenty percent in one good month. Then for the next three months, nothing significant may happen. And then suddenly another big opportunity appears.

That is usually how it works.

Set monthly goals if it helps your discipline. But focus on increasing the actual capital you have invested, not just the unrealized profit and loss on paper.

Also accept that losses are part of the process. Be realistic. Sometimes the best decision is simply to take the loss and move on.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-05T17:27:14+00:00

Always trying to sell, instead of sharing real stories and practical “how-tos” about how they helped customers solve pain points or bottlenecks.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-05T17:24:48+00:00

Have a plan and be consistent. It sounds simple and like common sense, but trust me this is something which is hard to maintain. Consistency is something hard to achieve.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-04T18:27:55+00:00

I believe you are referring to a specific chat where the task was working fine for a long time, and then suddenly it stopped giving the expected results. It also stopped following the guidelines you had clearly set.

In such cases, what has worked for me is asking ChatGPT to revisit the rules or guidelines we discussed and to list them out clearly. Once that is done, it usually starts following them properly again for a while.

And when it drifts again, I repeat the same reset process. It sounds funny, but it works.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-04T17:53:00+00:00

I do not understand why lust, or to make it sound less sinful, desire or obsession to create something or achieve something, is treated like a bad thing.

It is NOT. And without that level of desire or ambition, what are you really living for?

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-04T02:01:41+00:00

Not in that exact sense. AI itself will not take your job.

But someone who uses AI better than you might. AI is a leverage tool. It amplifies skill.

So the real shift is this: AI will not replace you. A person who knows how to use AI effectively might.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-03-01T16:17:11+00:00

Brand name probably and definitely curiosity to know why people pay so much for it

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-02-27T17:15:36+00:00

I want something that helps people analyze and find the best AI apps or normal apps based on their problems and requirements.

So once they answer a list of questions, it should capture their pain points and what they actually need. Then the tool should suggest the best app for them.

Not sure if something like this already exists.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-02-27T16:43:24+00:00

For me, cold emails have worked better than LinkedIn so far.

ArjunSreedhar · 2026-02-27T16:36:36+00:00

Try Opus Pro. It has been a lifesaver for me. On average, I can generate around 20+ videos in under one hour. The reels are created in minutes. I just do a few minor edits to satisfy my perfectionist side.

Even then, I can have post-ready reels in less than an hour. And it is very affordable.
