    When I was in the fifth grade, I wrote a series of short stories about five cats driving around in a '57 Chevy solving crimes.

    I’d take foolscap, fold it in half and draw a cover for the issues.

    The point of this story is that even those covers had better, more dynamic graphic design fundamentals that the soulless piece of shit on the shelf here. And I was 10…

        Here’s a practical shopping list for you:

        • milk
        • eggs
        • bread
        • butter
        • cheese
        • yogurt

        Wonder how humanity did it for the last thousands of years… But maybe if it takes off… Why not offer shopping lists at the supermarket? Could be the first aisle. Ready-made shopping lists, two for $1.

          Same thing with apps vefore AI. People kept twlling me their amazig shopping list apps and i never got it. I either write it down and go to the store and buy stuff i need. I don’t know about other people, but you often buy the same things over and over, with some exceptions, depending on what you plan to cook.

            Chances are those apps were hoovering up all the data and then used for personalized advertising. The users are literally telling you what they need to buy. It doesn’t get better than that.

            So much of what gets invented today is just gimmicky shit which has no earthly use except to make you consume more.

            I think the only tricky situation is if there’s multiple people to coordinate, who want to add items while not at home, or go shopping on their way home. Other than that any simple (paper) note will do?!

            I got an office whiteboard for the kitchen. I write down stuff that’s about to run out, or whatever I want to eat in the next days. And once I go shopping, I either memorize the items or snap a picture. No further software needed.

            I just use a basic Todo app for my shopping list, but I really like having it on my phone for two reasons:

            I can reorder things before I go to match the aisles order. All the HBA together, all the cleaning stuff, all the paper stuff, then swoop across the aisles back to front, dairy, chips, cereal, coffee, cold stuff, canned goods, Mexican, pasta, condiments, freezer, deli/vegetables.

            Two, I can check stuff off and it removes it reducing clutter.

            Sometimes I use a paper list and I get lost on it and end up backtracking.

            No fiber for ChatGPT power users. Just dairy products, egg and bread 😅

            Though… Now that I rethink this… Isn’t AI supposed to kill us by 2030? Or at least make us miserable? We probably need to make it way more unhealthy. And add a few “spicy” options like undercooked chicken.

          Why not offer shopping lists at the supermarket? Could be the first aisle. Ready-made shopping lists, two for $1.

          You know… Call me crazy, but something like that could work? Ideally just free, but checklists for the 20 most common items to help remind you what you might miss, and also possibly recipes (frequently switched) from things the shop keeps in stock.

      Also whatever that WW1 Gallipoli magazine has to say in the bottom right. Glory to the ANZAC forces for showing bravery in such a shit and botched operation, let no one say they were cowards.

      Note I’m a Californian I just know what badasses look like and can damned well respect it.

    It’s written by humans, for humans!

    Just like the THIRTEEN other issues in their “Tech Guides” series… that are ONLY about LLMs, and mostly include AI-generated imagery.

    And get this: they’re even “the world’s first publisher to produce a magazine dedicated to ChatGPT”! Great.

    I’m sure the… one person on their team that writes for the Tech topics of their magazines (while also writing about ADHD) definitely made every single one of these issues on their own.

    AI tries and tries but we don’t want it if it’s someone else making gains.

    I’m a driver… AI can help you!.. No more drivers, AI can drive now.

    Am a painter… AI can help you!.. No more painters, Al can paint now.

    Hey you want a painting? Just purchase it from AI! We’ll drive it to you, just pay AI.

    “build your own GPT” kind of sounds like too big a subject for one issue. Maybe it will continue in next month’s?
