Only when customers become comfortable with using AI will there be no CMS. And from my experience with clients, we're not there yet.
Watched a really interesting video on YouTube where the guy said front facing shots of people take the attention away from the major headline and call to action, whereas head shots looking towards the headline and CTA actually work better.
He also would have been onto AI years ago. That's the problem with Apple. They've been caught without the people, research and technology. At least 2 years behind, probably more.
Before we get too excited, if it has to actually do some work, it usually starts a thread in Codex, and that does cost you.
I'm finding my dot pretty handy. I like the idea of an overarching AI that can manage things globally; however, it does get stuck with Mac OS permissions. Looking forward to the day where it can really manage things without my constant assistance.
@FluidVoiceApp for sure. I’ve been using it for awhile now and it’s an excellent replacement. And it’s free.
So after nearly 4 years of using AI, it hasn't replaced me. It's only helping me do more ambitious things more quickly. Things I was procrastinating about, I now get stuck into and get done.
Yes, born the same year as you, I've been using AI for nearly 4 years and I'm a designer among other things and that experience has made all the difference because AI is not great at design without direction.
Temporary citizen. Even if you trust the technology, you've got to trust other drivers aren't going to do something stupid. The car hits the brakes hard, and that guy's gone!

🚨 Google lost power in London this morning and Revolut, a bank with 80 million customers, went down with it.
I've spent the morning reading what Revolut users went through. It's wild.
People stranded at petrol stations, unable to pay for fuel or a taxi to the airport.
One traveller couldn't get out of a train station in Japan.
A 71-year-old woman stood at a supermarket till for an hour. Her kid had to drive 30km to bring her cash.
Card payments, transfers, ATM withdrawals, currency exchange, share trading. All down.
Revolut's statement said "all our customers' money and data are safe."
Safe. You just can't touch it.
Google's explanation so far is a "power event" in one zone of its London cloud region. Its advice to affected customers was to move their workloads to another zone or region "if feasible."
Must be nice. Revolut customers couldn't even move £10.
In July the UK government put Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft and Oracle under direct Bank of England oversight, because one outage at any of them could shake the entire financial system.
12 days ago the Bank of England ran a drill with the UK's 38 biggest banks and market operators. The scenario they practised was a global cloud outage.
And exactly one year ago today, AWS went down and took Lloyds and Halifax with it.
Same date. Different cloud. Lloyds was having problems again this morning.
Revolut spent five years earning a UK banking licence.
Bitcoin has been running for almost 18 years. It doesn't have a London region.
