I saw my ChatGPT year in review. I was absolutely gobsmacked.
170,000 messages. 2,700 conversations. Top 0.1% of users.
I saw those numbers and thought, holy sh*t.
That's someone who rethought the same idea forty times and argued with a robot about whether it was even worth building.
2,700 conversations. That's 2,700 times I rage-quit the last chat and started over. "Maybe if I explain it differently."
Product ideas. Renovation decisions. Whether I should add cumin or not. Ancient civilisations I got curious about at 1am. Auditing my fitness plan. Reasoning through problems I couldn't figure out on my own.
I turned a chatbot into my entire support system. Cheaper than therapy. Doesn't cancel on me, and doesn't eat my leftovers.
But I didn't believe everything it said. I argued with it. I asked for proof. I asked how it came up with its answers. I made the final call on everything. Because the moment you stop questioning, you're not thinking anymore. You're just copying.
Then they gave me this badge.

Half compliment, half roast. Accurate, actually. I look patient. Inside, I've already refactored your argument three times and you're still on version one.
I don't know many people willing to reason through problems for hours outside of business hours. ChatGPT fit the bill. Until I tuned it to be ruthless, with just enough 90s surfer bro tone to keep it human. Brutal, but still cool.
After all that, I can spot AI-generated stuff from a mile away. LinkedIn posts, emails, tweets, Instagram captions, video scripts. No voice. No personality. Just boring text that sounds like soggy cardboard. And if you're using a dating app, don't even think about texting with a ChatGPT message. Especially if you happen to swipe me.
I use AI to assist and proof-read these blog posts too. I'm not above it. But I add my own flair. I argue with it. I rewrite half of what it gives me because it doesn't sound like me or it makes sh*t up. You lose the taste if you don't. You lose you.
So... 170,000 messages. Top 0.1%. Most Likely to Automate Their Own Brain.
I'll take it.
