I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.

I still see the argument that AI is bad af generating ideas, but my colleagues and I, along with many other researchers, have repeatedly found that even the old GPT-4 could be prompted to generate more diverse and higher quality ideas than most people. And newer models do better.”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2018388869515784595

Closing the capability gap between frontier AI and everyday use in 2026 https://fidjisimo.substack.com/p/closing-the-capability-gap
