Recently, someone posted something on X.

It was a painting.

It looked like any other painting.

It looked good.

Nothing crazy.

Then someone replied with something like:

“I just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI.

Please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting.”

And all the artists in the comments started going crazy.

They were like:

“No, this painting is horrible.”

“This is obviously AI.”

“It has no soul.”

“It has no creativity.”

“This could never be real art.”

And then it turned out the painting wasn’t AI.

The guy made it himself.

And this is the thing people need to understand.

This doesn’t prove AI art is bad.

It proves a lot of artists can’t even tell the difference.

A lot of these people are lying to you.

And they know they’re lying.

They don’t actually care about quality anymore.

They care about virtue signaling.

They care about having the moral high ground.

They care about being seen as “real artists” who are bravely standing against AI.

But they don’t care about adapting.

They don’t care about getting better.

They don’t care about using the tools.

They just care about being morally right.

And they’re not.

Because if you can’t even tell whether something was made by AI or by a human, then the whole argument starts falling apart.

You can say you don’t like AI.

You can say you don’t want to use it.

That’s fine.

But don’t sit there pretending it’s always obvious.

Don’t pretend it’s always soulless.

Don’t pretend it’s always low quality.

Because clearly, you can’t even tell.

And the brutal truth is this:

Nobody is going to pay you forever just because you refused to adapt.

The world is changing.

The tools are changing.

And at some point, you either adapt…

or you lose.

So stop being a sore loser.

Stop pretending AI is automatically bad.

And start asking the actual question:

“How do I use this without making myself irrelevant?”

I see people say this all the time:

“I wish I was learning a language.”

“I wish I went running.”

“I wish I went to the gym.”

“I wish I could finally start doing this thing.”

And then it’s always:

“but I don’t have time.”

“but I’m too busy.”

“but this.”

“but that.”

And usually, I’ll be nice about it.

I’ll say something like:

“Yeah, I get it.”

“Don’t be too hard on yourself.”

“Life gets busy.”

But in the back of my head, I’m always thinking:

bro…

it’s really not that hard to start a new habit.

And then one day I decided:

okay, I’m going to start posting content on Reddit every morning.

Nothing crazy.

Just a good way to get my fingers moving, get my brain warmed up, and start the day with some momentum.

And then I actually started doing it.

And I realised…

oh.

This is kind of hard.

So I’ll give you guys some credit.

It actually is hard to start a new habit.

Unless, of course, you use the smartest technology ever created in the history of mankind.

AI.

Because with AI, starting a habit becomes infinitely easier.

You stay consistent for longer.

You do the habit better.

You remove a lot of the friction.

And you stop relying on “motivation,” which is basically just a scam your brain runs on you once every 11 business days.

So whether you want to work harder, learn a language, go to the gym, run every day, write more, build a business, or just stop living like an NPC with screen time issues…

you need better habits.

And the easiest way to start is with ChatGPT.

Give ChatGPT the right prompt, and it can help you build the habit in the easiest way possible.

Because if you can spend 30 days doing something consistently, by the end of those 30 days, it’s no longer this big dramatic life change.

It’s just what you do now.

So check this prompt out:

"I want to build a new habit over the next 30 days.

The habit I want to build is: [INSERT HABIT]

My current situation is:

- My schedule: [INSERT SCHEDULE]

- My biggest obstacle: [INSERT OBSTACLE]

- My current skill level: [BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED]

- My reason for wanting this habit: [INSERT WHY]

- How much time I can realistically give this per day: [INSERT TIME]

Your job is to make this habit as easy as possible to start and stick to.

Please create:

1. A simple 30-day habit plan

2. The easiest possible version of the habit for days when I have no motivation

3. A slightly harder version for days when I have more energy

4. A daily checklist I can follow

5. A “what to do when I miss a day” plan

6. A reward system that doesn’t ruin the habit

7. A way to track progress without making it complicated

8. A short daily message I can copy and paste back to you so you can keep me accountable

Make the plan realistic.

Do not give me some insane productivity guru routine.

Make it so easy that it would almost be embarrassing not to do it."

I’m sure you’ve probably seen tons of stuff about how AI could randomly take over all systems one day and destroy the world, or how AI is just extremely dangerous in general.

I’m here to tell you that’s a lot of BS.

AI is probably not going to end the world in the next 10,000 years.

Actually, take that back.

AI is probably not going to end the world.

And I could give you all my reasons why I think this, and why blah blah blah…

But at the end of the day, the most important part of all of this is what it actually affects.

For example, SpaceX and Claude just teamed up recently, kind of somewhat.

Most people look at that and just see a cool partnership.

But I looked at it and saw they were basically trying to take the throne.

I don’t need to get too much into it here, but essentially:

AI safety is a complete lie.

This is just the very summarized version.

If you want to read more on it, click below in the comments. I wrote a full post on it.

A lot of people use AI, but they don’t really care about AI news.

They might see headlines about everyone hating Sam Altman, people making wild threats, six new tools dropping, or new benchmarks being released.

And usually, they see it a few weeks late and think:

“Who cares?”

“It’s not that important.”

“Does this even matter?”

Then they see something like OpenCore and think:

“Why would I even try that? It’s probably a waste of time.”

But here’s the problem.

If you’re not paying attention, you’re probably using models, tools, and workflows that are already outdated.

Maybe only by a few weeks.

Maybe by a month.

And sure, you might think:

“What I have right now is enough.”

And maybe it is.

If you’re barely using AI, then fine. You probably don’t need to track every update.

But if you actually care about AI…

If you’re using it seriously…

If you’re building, creating, writing, designing, researching, automating, or trying to move faster…

Then the newest tools matter.

The newest models matter.

The newest workflows matter.

Because the goal is simple:

To reduce the time between your idea and the exact thing you want.

Let’s say you’re using GPT-5.4 and you have an idea for a design.

It takes five minutes to generate, then another ten minutes to edit because it didn’t get it right the first time.

Now let’s say GPT-5.5 takes ten minutes instead.

But this time, it gives you exactly what you wanted on the first try.

You just saved five minutes.

That might not sound like a big deal.

But when you compound that across every design, post, script, page, email, campaign, product, and idea…

Those minutes turn into hours.

Those hours turn into weeks.

And if you’re using AI to make money, those weeks can turn into hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars per year.

So yes, AI news matters.

Because in a world moving this fast, being a month behind is not “basically up to date.”

It’s being slow.

And slow is expensive.

So here’s a prompt you can use to check whether your AI setup is outdated:

Act as my AI tools auditor.

I’m going to tell you what I’m trying to do, what tools I currently use, and my current workflow.

Your job is to check whether I’m using the best and most up-to-date AI tools for the job.

Do the following:

1. Identify the main task I’m trying to accomplish.
2. Look at the AI tools, models, and workflows I’m currently using.
3. Check if there are newer, better, faster, cheaper, or more accurate options available.
4. Tell me what I should keep, replace, or test.
5. Explain why each recommendation matters in simple terms.
6. Give me a better workflow using the newest tools available.
7. Prioritize tools that save time, improve output quality, or reduce manual work.
8. Avoid recommending random shiny tools unless they clearly improve the workflow.

Here’s my current goal:
[INSERT GOAL]

Here’s what I currently use:
[INSERT TOOLS]

Here’s my current workflow:
[INSERT WORKFLOW]

Give me the answer in this format:

Current setup:
What’s outdated:
What’s still good:
Better tools to test:
Best updated workflow:

Run that once a week.

Because the people who stay updated won’t just be “better at AI.”

They’ll be faster, sharper, and harder to compete with.

I keep seeing people say:

“You need to get addicted to hard work.”

Which sounds great.

Then they spend half the video talking about Bugattis, discipline, obsession, greatness, blah blah blah…

And after all that?

Their actual advice is:

“Cut out distractions.”

“Sit down.”

“Set an alarm.”

Amazing.

If I wanted to learn how to set an alarm, I’d watch a granny tutorial.

But there actually is a way to make hard work feel more addictive.

And weirdly enough, AI can help.

Now, warning:

If you already have more important things in your life right now, like family, friends, health, or you’ve already got the success you want, maybe don’t use this.

Because the whole point is to make work feel more rewarding, more clear, and harder to avoid.

Most people need that.

Some people probably don’t.

But if you want to genuinely start craving hard work instead of forcing yourself through it, use this prompt:

Act as my personal hard work addiction coach.

Your goal is to help me make focused work feel more rewarding, satisfying, and addictive in a healthy way.

First, ask me 5 questions:
1. What goal am I working toward?
2. What work do I avoid the most?
3. What distractions usually pull me away?
4. What kind of rewards or progress make me feel motivated?
5. How many hours per day can I realistically work without burning out?

After I answer, create a daily system that helps me get addicted to the feeling of progress.

Include:
- A simple work schedule
- A clear starting ritual
- A way to make the work feel like a game
- A reward system after each focused session
- A way to track progress visually
- A rule for removing distractions
- A short motivational script I can read before working
- A daily reflection that makes me want to come back tomorrow

Make it practical, intense, and realistic.

Do not give me generic advice like “just be disciplined” or “set an alarm.”

Build me a system that makes hard work feel satisfying enough that I want to keep doing it.

Put that into ChatGPT, Claude, Opus, or whatever AI model you use.

Try it for a few days and let me know how it goes.

It genuinely worked wonders for me, and I think it could do the same for you.

Hello. I am currently extremely sick, and most people might think that’s bad.

Those people are losers.

They wake up, feel a scratchy throat, and think:

“Damn. I’m sick.”

But when I woke up with a scratchy throat and felt like I was going to puke, I knew exactly why.

It’s because I’ve been staying up all night with AI.

And that’s the sickness I want you to catch.

Not because I want you to actually get sick, but because I want you to become so obsessed with AI that you can’t look away.

Because I believe that in every major revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the internet, and now AI, there were certain people who saw it coming, knew about it, and still did nothing.

They didn’t participate in the trend.

They missed out.

And now their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are probably living worse lives because they didn’t take advantage of the opportunity in front of them.

Basically, they failed their family.

And I don’t want you to be a failure to your family.

So make sure you catch the AI sickness.

Because the symptoms of not catching it are a lack of wealth, a lack of happiness, and a lifetime of watching other people win while you wonder what happened.

Catch it.

Stay up to date with AI.

And if you want the best way to stay up to date with AI, check the comments.

I’ve got something good for you.

There’s an app called Google AI Studio and, for some reason, it’s still completely free.

Which is ridiculous.

You get access to some of the best Gemini models, you can build apps, test ideas, write code, fix code, generate pages, and basically create whatever you want without paying a developer or burning money on tools.

I literally made this website in about 5 minutes using it:

msa-mail.com/sign-up

Type it into Google, try it out, and then tell me that isn’t insane.

Free access to AI that can help you build actual usable stuff?

That’s not “nice to have.”

That’s a $3,000 advantage sitting there for free.

Great news for the freeloaders:

GPT-5.5 Instant just dropped, and it’s now rolling out as the default ChatGPT model for everyone.

That means the free version of ChatGPT just got way better.

According to OpenAI, GPT-5.5 Instant gives smarter answers, clearer responses, better personalization, and significantly fewer hallucinations than GPT-5.3 Instant. On some high-stakes prompts, OpenAI says hallucinated claims dropped by 52.5%.  

So if you’ve been using ChatGPT like a slightly smarter Google search…

Now is probably a good time to actually test what it can do.

Here’s a prompt you can paste in:

Prompt:

“I want to use GPT-5.5 Instant better, but I don’t know what I should actually use it for.

Ask me 7 questions about my work, goals, daily routine, problems, skills, and things I procrastinate on.

After I answer, give me:

1. The 10 best ways I personally should use ChatGPT
2. The 3 highest-leverage uses based on my life
3. One daily AI workflow I can start using immediately
4. One prompt I should save and reuse every day
5. One thing I’m probably underusing ChatGPT for”

Seriously, go try it.

Free version is fine.

Worst case?

You waste 3 minutes.

Best case?

You find one workflow that saves you hours.

Hello everyone.

So you guys are probably interested in persuasion, and fair enough.

But what really matters, and I actually read a whole book on this, is pre-suasion.

So what is pre-suasion?

Pre-suasion is what happens in the moments before you actually try to persuade someone.

I’ll give you an example.

Let’s say you’re trying to sell something inside someone’s home.

Maybe it’s a home alarm system, a gas detector, insurance, or something like that.

There was this one salesman who had to go into people’s homes and give them a tour or walk-through.

And what he would do every time was simple.

At some point, he would either hand the homeowners his car keys and ask them to grab something, or he would ask to borrow their keys to go get something and then come back.

Now, that might sound small.

It might even sound kind of useless.

But what it did was establish trust.

Either:

“I trusted him with my keys.”

Or:

“He trusted me with his keys.”

That tiny act created a feeling of trust before the actual selling even started.

And apparently, that guy became the top salesman at his firm because of that one small trick.

That’s how powerful pre-suasion can be.

It’s not always some massive psychological masterplan.

Sometimes it’s just one tiny action before the conversation that changes how the person sees you.

So it got me thinking:

What little things could I do before trying to persuade someone?

So I put a prompt into ChatGPT, and it actually gave me a bunch of great ideas.

One of them, weirdly enough, was to wear a quarter-zip style top.

You know, the kind that zips up near your neck and looks clean, professional, and put-together.

ChatGPT told me to wear that because it can make you look more professional, competent, and trustworthy.

And funny enough, I ended up having a really good sales conversation after doing that.

I think I’m going to close the deal.

Now, was it purely because of the quarter-zip?

Do we know?

No.

It was also a good setup by me.

But I do think it played some role.

The point is, you can use AI to think through these little pre-persuasion moments before a sales call, pitch, DM, email, meeting, or even profile visit.

And these don’t just work in person.

They can work:

In your profile.

In your email.

In your calendar invite.

In your opening message.

In your Zoom background.

In what you wear.

In the way you frame the conversation before it starts.

So here’s the prompt you can give ChatGPT:

Prompt:

“ChatGPT, I want to use pre-suasion before trying to persuade someone. First, ask me questions about the situation, who I’m trying to persuade, what I want them to do, whether it’s online or in person, what they already believe, and what objections they might have.

Then give me a list of subtle pre-suasion actions I can take before the actual conversation starts.

Include ideas for my appearance, environment, profile, email, calendar invite, first message, opening frame, social proof, trust-building, authority-building, and anything else that would make the person more likely to trust me, listen to me, and be open to the offer.

Make the suggestions practical, ethical, and specific to my situation.”

And yeah, put that into ChatGPT.

Answer the questions it gives you.

Then it’ll give you a bunch of pre-suasion ideas you can use before you try to persuade someone.

I’ve got something for you.

Have you see all the companies falling off the cliff of the earth right now because they’re getting replaced by ai?

Well the same thing can happen to anyone.

And the trick to getting out of that mess, is becoming a system yourself… not a cog in the system.

Now, you can be a system within a system, but not a cog.

Here’s what I mean:

A cog is completely replaceable. One breaks, another is put in. It doesn’t matter if it’s metal, human or ai… it’s a cog, it just needs to keep the system turning.

But a system?

Something that’s much more complex than a cog

That only you can control…

Will never get replaced

So become a system yourself.

If you don’t know how to do that I recommend you stay up to date on ai news.

My favorite way to do this is with this newsletter:

https://msa-mail.com/sign-up1/

I’m sure all of you have heard some of the news coming out recently.

20,000 fired last week…

People trying to kill sam altman…

A ton of other stuff i can’t remember right now.

I mean AI is really getting crazy. Some people think that it’s going to completely end the world for good, some think it’ll be the best thing that’s ever happened to the human race.

I think it’ll be good.

Why? 

Because what’s the alternative?

Spend my time worrying about whether or not something that’s not in my control will kill everyone else?

Even if everyone in the US tried to stop AI, i still feel like we’d end up building some form of AGI.

So my message is to everyone:

Stay informed, stay positive, and don’t be an AI doomer.

Because you’re not going to get anywhere if you only think about how terrible the future is going to be.
