It was actually called ping pong until it became a trademark dispute, and the sport had to call it table tennis!

I highly recommend Moves, which makes it possible to resize with a modifier key drag within any part of the window: https://mikkelmalmberg.com/moves

This is a very reductionist claim about how people use AI in their art process. The truth is that the best artists use AI in a sort of dance between the human and machine. But always, the human is the prime mover through a process of iteration.

What's even more impressive is the retention charts: https://x.com/far33d/status/1981031672142504146

Every single cohort is smiling upward from the past two years. That is insane, especially at their scale! AI is useful to people.

For #2, if you're working on a big feature, start with a markdown planning file that you and the LLM work on until you are satisfied with the approach. Doesn't need to be rocket science: even if it's just a couple paragraphs it's much better than doing it one shot.

Huge brand moat. Consumers around the world equate AI with ChatGPT. That kind of recognition is an extremely difficult thing to pull off, and also hard to unseat as long as they play their cards right.
