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.
