Follow Ethan Mollick for AI research paper summaries - like learnings that humans judge GPT 4o to be more human in its answers than humans or that AI enhances students productivity and outcomes when they use it as a partner, but not when they try to automate everything through AI.

Diversify the AI models you use - There is not only ChatGPT, but also for example Claude, Pi, Gemini, and Perplexity. They subjectively are valuable for different use cases - Perplexity for all things personalised search engine tasks (think Google but better 😂), Claude for sharp reasoning, Pi for emotional support and Gemini for a mixture of Claude and Perplexity.

Not new, but often helpful to point out - These models perform better if you play around with your prompts + make them more explicit. The first prompt is often not the best prompt and it needs some adapting to find the one that works best for your specific use case.
