How are you using AI?
'm a journalist working on a story about quirky ways SF and Bay Area locals are using AI.
Have you used to code for you at work or write your performance reviews? Compose a break up text message? Create a meme for a inside joke? Pretend to be a lawyer and fight your landlord over email in legalize?
I would love to chat to anyone who lives in the Bay Area and has an interesting story.
I can offer anonymity to anyone who feels the way they use it is sensitive.
The piece is for the SF Gazetteer, a new local publication. I have written for Wired, TechCrunch, New York Times and others. Feel free to check out my website. https://jesseerynklein.com.

In place of adding packages to my projects, which I would probably not use the whole of it, I ask ChatGPT/Sonnet to generate a subset of that package that fits my needs and grow it from there.
In same way I've removed literally all packages in a web app I'm working besides tailwind which I'm also thinking about how to remove next.
The biggest upside of this strategy is that I understand everything that is going on in the code and another one is to avoid npm packages that is a big security risk.
Another benefit is package size, the app I'm working was getting to a final bundle of 400kb, which isn't too big but now it is 150kb with exactly the same features but without multiple frameworks and packages that I wasn't using 10% of it.
I wonder if ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode could provide singing guidance.
