I’ll tell you the best part about AI.

Well, one of them. My favorite part. As of this morning and subject to change but - this is a live reflection at time of writing, while I’m feeling incrementally smarter.

I was just trying to get my Claude and Perplexity setups talking to each other properly and kept running into walls.

How much of life becomes asking, “I don’t understand” or “This doesn’t seem to work the way you said it would” followed by, “Tell me what to do to accomplish this?”

Basically, “I don’t know” and “tell me” - over and over.

And that’s got to be the best part about AI. It’ll just keep telling you. Probably until you run out of tokens or patience - neither will be me, for the record. I don’t know how to do enough of anything that chews up that many tokens (ahem, yet).

You can be wrong and wrong, and a little less wrong and then a lot more wrong until, bingo.

Because it doesn’t get tired and it doesn’t get annoyed.

It’s inhuman like that.

Inhuman help is great when you're trying to get smarter about things no one around you has the patience for. Including you. And me, just sayin’.

A stupid conversational character count error that needed a .txt file to fix (and yes, I was going to use .md but this is what it said was best so that’s what I left it as) and, man.

They make it look easy.

This is not making me dumber.

Or you, or anyone.

It’s inhuman, un-impatient, eternally present iteration assistant.

Why wouldn’t you use this?

Every “I don’t know, tell me” pushes the boundaries a little bit further out. It’s a network you’re building, question by question. It’s fun to work on it.
