🦉 1 Rant By Ash (rant)
Alright, sit down folks, we're about to get serious. I remember someone blabbering that AI will turn us all into experts. Bollocks, I say! Now, don't get me wrong. AI is a top-notch tool, but it's no substitute for blood, sweat, and a boatload of hours spent honing your skills.
I've got some tips for you. Start by taking my newsletter, The Glitch, as your bible. Stay on top of industry trends like a hawk on a mouse. Devour case studies of AI use like your favorite crisps, and learn from those who've been there, done that, and got the bloody T-shirt.
And don't just sit there like a lemon - constantly flex those creative muscles. Innovate like your life depends on it, and heck, why not throw in a spiritual awakening for good measure? The goal is to spend those golden 10,000 hours expanding your noggin, sharpening your problem-solving skills, and getting down and dirty with the ins and outs of AI.
But here's the silver lining: those 10,000 hours used to be all about mastering one skill. Now, that time can turn you into a Swiss Army knife of abilities. So, go on, be bold, be curious, be bloody relentless. The world's your oyster and AI is your pearl-diving gear. So dive in!
And there you have it, folks!
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, questions, or ideas. Don't hesitate to hit 'Reply' and share your insights with me!

Now go out there and have an AmaaaaZing weekend!
Your friend,
Ash
