AI = Awesome Intelligence

AI on Main Street, sept 2026.
My next-door neighbor, a single mom, is undergoing a rigorous divorce by an alpha husband, and she's a wallflower. Her attorney is passive, and her ex's attorney is motovated and is on the warpath. I sat her down and got her set up with a ChatGPT paid subscription, and it will become her assistant. I fully expect AI to reduce her workload and stress by an order of magnitude.

I was the executor of my father's estate, and the family beneficiaries didn't like the decisions I was making. I was challenged legally. The bandwidth required for me to execute my job was so overwhelming that, if it wasn't for AI, it would have overwhelmed me. My legal team generated 900 pages of documents to defend my work. Without AI, the legal costs would have gone up exponentially.

Also excellent for summarizing a contract. Just be careful if you're putting sensitive contractual information into an AI you are not paying much for. Their own agreements can be suspect.

✨ AI Highlights

  • Claude and Gemini replaced ChatGPT for coding, planning, and research tasks
  • AI avatars with cloned voices fooled real people including spouses
  • Dealers built agents to stock inventory and find auction vehicles autonomously

Members share real-world AI wins ranging from syncing 74,000 vehicles across Facebook Marketplace feeds to topping an NFL pick pool and helping a neighbor navigate a contentious divorce. A side thread calls out a vendor for using the community's goodwill to run lead gen, with the offender acknowledging the criticism. The emerging insight is that AI's value is heavily shaped by the user's point of view — executives, developers, and everyday people each extract wildly different leverage from the same tools.
