🧠 AI Just Got Smarter Than Me… and That’s a Good Thing

We hear a lot about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the coming Singularity. Fascinating? Sure.

But mostly, that’s not what matters.

Here’s what does matter:

AI is already smarter than most of us.
And I’m not mad about it—I’m grateful.

Just yesterday, I worked on a proposal follow-up to a consulting session that, in the past, would’ve taken me at least three focused hours. With ChatGPT, it took about 20 minutes (no exaggeration)—and the result was better than anything I would’ve done on my own. It even recommended strategies I hadn’t thought of yet.

It wasn’t just faster.
It was smarter.
It made me better.
And, most importantly, it helped me serve my client WAY better.

This kind of AI+person collaboration is what we mean by “human in the loop.”

It’s not about ceding control to machines. It’s about taking agency and using AI as a lever—to boost your creativity, expand your strategic thinking, and even enhance your self-awareness.

For me, this new AI edge shows up everywhere—from proposal writing to dream work.

Yes, dream work. I use AI there too. And often, it surprises me with insights that delightfully help me expand my inner view.


🧭 Here’s the Real Shift:

AI is no longer just a tool.
It’s a creative partner—and the sooner you start treating it like one, the more momentum you’ll build.

But you only get that power by getting your hands dirty.

  • Prompt more.
  • Experiment more.
  • Start now.

Because waiting?
Waiting is how people get left behind.
Worse—it’s how smart, creative people end up shooting themselves in the foot by clinging to old ways while the new world speeds past... while someone else gets that gig you want because they've got an AI thought partner.

AI Creativity ChroniclesWeekly AI Tips to Spark Your Marketing Mojo 🎨 From Photoshop Panic to AI Video Power 🚀 Back in 1989, journalists worried that Photoshop would “end photography.” They said we’d never know what’s real. That copyright was over. That creativity itself was at risk. Sound familiar? Today, we’re hearing the same kinds of fears about AI. But here’s the truth: Photoshop didn’t end creativity. It expanded it. And AI is doing the same — especially when it comes to video. That’s...

In the first, I didn’t just watch Google's Veo3 AI write a video script from a simple text prompt. I watched it write, voice, and produce an entire video. No scriptwriting on my end. No voice recording. Nothing less than video magic. 👇 This new kind of AI video collaboration is not about just faster production,...
