Description

In this session of the AI Salon, Kyle dives into the increasingly complex and confusing world of ChatGPT's latest interface updates. He shares his hands-on impressions of the new Codex Micro, a specialized macro keyboard built for OpenAI's developer tools, while highlighting the critical difference between cloud-based projects and local data sovereignty. Through a candid critique of ChatGPT's fractured user experience, Kyle breaks down how to navigate the overlapping chat, work, and coding modes. To put ChatGPT's new "sites" workflow to the test, Kyle collaborates with the live audience to design a mobile-friendly web app called "Weird Crap." This playful inventory tool aims to help users take photos of random belongings, automatically identify them, track their location, and estimate their value. He wraps up the session with an invitation to an upcoming "Back to Basics" workshop designed to help beginners master prompting and image generation without the overwhelming jargon. #ChatGPT,#CodexMicro,#AISalon,#WebDevelopment,#UserExperience,#ProductDesign,#DataSovereignty,#AIWorkshop Chapters: 00:00:00 Welcome and Intro 00:01:00 Soccer Finals Talk 00:02:24 Interface Confusion 00:03:57 Rabbit R1 Flashback 00:05:17 Codex Micro Keyboard 00:08:22 Codex Micro Demo 00:10:41 Macro Keyboard Reality 00:12:12 Testing Model Effort 00:17:17 Model Classifications 00:21:49 Three Confusing Modes 00:25:10 Bad UX Design 00:28:47 Cloud Versus Local 00:32:43 Local Data Sovereignty 00:38:23 Desktop Data Management 00:47:04 Speculating on Future 00:51:25 AI Vacation Booking 00:53:39 Back to Basics 00:59:42 ChatGPT Sites Feature 01:01:41 Weird Crap Idea 01:03:34 Prompting the App 01:07:47 OpenAI Pod Culture 01:13:57 Reviewing Design Options 01:25:24 Refining the Interface 01:27:21 Final Wrap Up
