The human is the feedback loop
Naval Ravikant recently made an observation about AI I keep coming back to. Code keeps getting better because the model can run it and see if it works. Writing doesn't get that. There's no compiler for prose.

Last year, one of our clients won a prize for digital inclusion. When the jury called them, they had trouble answering what they had done. Their answer was that they had built a website.

What Humans Do Without Thinking
A new AI benchmark just revealed something remarkable. Not about machines, but about us.
The web keeps winning
Walmart put 200,000 products inside ChatGPT. Instant Checkout. Buy without leaving the chat. Conversion was three times worse than their website.
