Congrats on the mention in NYT. It's very well deserved. I love what you shared in our fiction collective today about how you use it as well.

Love seeing you continue to explore the personal, especially about your family, in these newsletters. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Charlie, I have used ChatGPT for some very basic "research" in the past and regularly use Notion AI to help me with editing, summarizing as a part of my note taking app. I'm always on the look out for best ways to use it in other use cases, would love to read about yours.

Another interesting newsletter edition. I may be in a room of one, but I worry less about ChatGPT/AI assuming human characteristics and more about humanity losing its essential qualities.

I can foresee a world where text exchanges between family and friends are relegated to AI systems...to save time, because it's easier, because we want to stay in touch, but not spend the few moments where we might hear something that triggers an ineffable instinct to ask follow up questions because we just sense something is wrong.

Perhaps it's just me, but I worry that we'll lose ourselves.

So glad your Pilgrimage essay is reaching people. Man that one got me.

Also it’s so interesting to think of you as a bit of a ChatGPT expert when I only follow you here and not on Twitter , but wow the NYT!
