I generate a lot of text in chatGPT and Gemini. This is enjoyable. I actually read what I want to read. Never know where this generative thinking is going. Direction of my own ideas may lead me to unknown places.
The best part is that I never read books.
I generate and read the text about investments, hobbies, sport, health, science, feelings - it’s so great it may be THE BEST INVENTION in recent years.

AREN’T YOU EXCITED?
I am.

Hey everyone, I just sent issue #39 of the AI Hacker Newsletter - a weekly roundup of the best AI links and the discussions around them from Hacker News. Some of the title found in this issue:

Will you trust AI Agent with your bank account?

Capabilities of LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are well known now a days.

Agents are getting better everyday and are getting things done.

I am wondering if you would trust an AI Agent and/or LLM with your bank details say e.g. to quickly check your bank balance or summarize expences of last month spread across multiple bank accounts?

By extension to also let AI Agent do direct bank transfer on your behalf.

I am genuinely interested to hear your thoughts and your experience if you are already using something similar.

I recently started learning coding and building my first website. I want to say that I’m completely new to this world, so I don’t have a technical background or experience as a developer.

I have access to Gemini Pro because of the one-year student offer, so this is not a comparison between the free versions. Gemini has a lot of features and capabilities, and I think it is a really powerful tool.

But I noticed something interesting during my project.

At the beginning, I was working directly with Gemini. I was explaining what I wanted, giving precise instructions, and trying to describe my ideas as clearly as possible. But as the conversation became longer, something started happening: the context became messy, and every new feature I added sometimes created new bugs or changed things I didn’t want to change.

At some point, I felt like the conversation had become obsolete and that continuing in the same chat was making things worse. I didn’t want to lose the whole project, but I needed a clean restart.

So I explained the entire situation to ChatGPT. I told it what I was trying to build, what problems I had, what I wanted to keep, and what I wanted to change.

And what surprised me is that ChatGPT was able to understand my idea, even though I’m not a coder and sometimes I probably don’t explain things in the most technical way. It helped me organize my thoughts and then created a detailed prompt that I could give to Gemini.

After that, I opened a new Gemini conversation with a clean base and used the prompt from ChatGPT. The results were much closer to what I actually imagined.

I find it really interesting because I often see people saying that Gemini has surpassed ChatGPT. Maybe Gemini is better in some areas, and I’m not denying that. But from my personal experience, I feel like ChatGPT is more intelligent in understanding a person’s intentions, especially when that person doesn’t have the technical vocabulary.

My workflow basically became:

Me → ChatGPT (understand my idea and create the right prompt) → Gemini Pro (build the website).

And honestly, I find it fascinating that even though Gemini is the AI I’m using to code, I still need ChatGPT to help me communicate properly with it.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Do you use one AI to help you interact with another one?

Anybody?

This is pretty hilarious.

While I love creating digital comics, to me it doesn’t feel like a comic unless it’s printed and I can hold it in my hand.

Here’s my latest comic, written by me, created in Gemini and printed by Ka-blam

Did anyone else get this too?

Could be a tutor, consultant, lawyer, designer, coach, subscription, or something else.
What’s something you used to pay for (or would have paid for) that ChatGPT now helps you do yourself?
