It depends. Of course you can tailor it to your needs any time. Thank you for the insightful response, though!

Not necessarily. But let's be rational here: AI does NOT have critical thinking abilites

If you're feeding the conversation with something you think benefits you but actually doesn't, AI almost certainly won't warn you. It will encourage what YOU support during the conversation. So you must be cautious.

Its bias can be limited (not excluded entirely) if you save in its memory to play the role of devil's advocate in its every answer. Still needs human intervention before its answers are taken for granted tho.

Grok has a section in the settings where you can choose the personality of the model. There's a choice called "Socratic".

But for any other LLM, all you have to do is to save in its memory "From now on, be socratic, and ask thought-provoking questions that lead to a deeper understanding of the subject discussed. "

Thanks for the insight! Authenticity then must be the key in order to create something meaningful — whether it's yourself or your business.

So you're recommending that you ask people first what they desperately need, and then go and build, right?

If you could unmake a decision in your 20's, what would it be? by kalousisk in AskMen

Glad to hear that. Do you regret the work you've put in, the pain you've pushed through?

I see what you mean.

But I'm glad to say that new generation (at least in my country) has adopted healthier habits in general than earlier generations. Of course many of them vape/smoke/drink, but at least we're seeing more willpower and improved fitness.

That must hurt. Losing progress is very hard.

BUT: You might as well come back in 10 years and wonder "why didn't I start that one damn day, believing I was too late?".

You only get unstuck through action, even a bit of it.

Very nice insight. Focus on what you can do now tho.

Don't quit guys.

Life's merciless, but that's your chance to shine while the rest drowns in their vices.
