In this episode, Gil and I talk about where AI helps—and where it just frustrates the hell out of you. I share why I spent 20 hours trying to automate part of this podcast and then decided I didn’t even want to. Gil talks about switching from Cursor to Claude for code generation and what he’s learning from building his own AI assistant. Lots of honest chat about tools, burnout, and the emotional side of learning.What we get into:Why I scrapped my newsletter automation even though it technically workedThe tools we’ve been experimenting with lately: Claude, Cursor, Replit, OpusWhy your skills (and brain wiring) really matter when working with AIHow to spot when you’re trying to automate the wrong thingGil’s building an AI assistant—and has probably sunk over 100 hours into itThe problem with all those “1-click AI app” videos on socialHow education (and parenting) might need to change in the AI eraWhy it’s OK to suck at first—and why that’s part of the processNotable quotes:“I realised I don’t want to automate the newsletter—I want to write it.” – Nihal“Even if what you built doesn’t ship, those 100 hours weren’t wasted—they were hours of learning.” – Nihal“Just because it can be automated doesn’t mean it should.” – Gil“If AI makes it too easy, we risk losing the grit and growth that comes from doing hard things.” – GilTools mentioned:CursorClaudeReplitRiversideOpus ClipConnect with us:Have AI questions?
