90%+ of jobs may vanish to AI, robots, & automation within our lifetime.

Yet I don't think this will lead to a utopian paradise where no one works and just enjoys life.

If history has taught me anything: the richer will get richer, and everyone else fights for survival 😓.

Everyone’s laughing at all the ChatGPT threads, but I (a man who can’t code), just built and shipped a functioning and IMO useful Chrome Extension in ~45 minutes using just that and @Replit - it was the weirdest feeling ever.

My current belief:

Working on 1 good business for 10 years will likely beat working on 10 decent things for 1 year each.

Focus is hard.

But I think working on 1 thing for a long time will create way more value than working on 10 things for short time.

Pleasure is a false god. It's the most superficial form of happiness, therefore the easiest to obtain and the quickest to go away.

My absolute best tip to build faster on @webflow is to use the stack feature from @paste_app to import copy.

The workflow:
Go to Figma, copy, copy, copy.
Back to Webflow, paste, paste, paste.

Doesn't seem like much but less back and forth saves me a lot of time!

[George Ten @GrammarHippy]

I built (an almost complete) sales page with ChatGPT.

Took me 36 minutes.
… And I recorded it all on video.

ChatGPT will make copywriters go extinct. You’ll see.

But those who know how to THINK - can leverage AI to write copy QUICKLY.

Lemme show you how.

ChatGPT is the worst thing that ever happened to copywriters.

It’s even worse for content writers.

But it’s the best thing that ever happened to CopyThinkers.

You don’t yet understand the magnitude of this event.

But you will soon.

[George Ten @GrammarHippy]

Prediction:

2023 is gonna be the year that ChatGPT will replace most copywriters.

CopyThinkers will stay.
Copywriters will die out.

Here’s a LIVE example of an ad ChatGPT wrote and why CopyThinkers will thrive…

While copywriters will die out.

Grab a notebook.

Write out exactly what you want in your future, don't miss a detail. Then, break it down into goals. Decades, years, months, weeks, and days.

Every day, write down the 3 levers you can move to create your vision.

A dream without clarity is a nightmare.

I've never understood the appeal of being rich and famous.

It's far better to be wealthy and anonymous.

Make your money and disappear.

I'm now convinced that there is a massive wave of car repossessions coming in 2023.

Here's what I discovered (and what no one knows):
