Staying Productive with AI When a Project Stalls
I thought I’d share a small example of how I’ve been using AI day-to-day as a solopreneur. I’m currently building an eCommerce print-on-demand system, which has been quite technical and, at times, all-consuming. Last week, one of the key components ran into issues that were outside my control, so I had to step away from it for a bit. Rather than losing the day, I shifted focus and used AI to quickly put together a simple affiliate website concept and a basic promotion plan. It took less than an hour to get something structured and usable. What stood out to me is how AI makes it much easier to stay productive, even when one project stalls. Instead of stopping, I can pivot to something else and still make meaningful progress. For anyone working on their own projects, that flexibility is a big advantage. You don’t need a full team or a lot of time to move ideas forward anymore. I’m finding that the real value is not just in what AI produces, but in how it helps you keep momentum going.
A Thought-Provoking AI Paper
I received an interesting document in one of my feeds today, and I thought it was worth sharing here with you. Before I say anything more, I’d encourage you to take a look at the original paper yourself if this subject interests you. I’ll attach the paper to this post so you can read it firsthand and make up your own mind about the ideas it raises. What caught my attention is that, although this is an academic paper, the core idea behind it is surprisingly relevant to the wider conversation around AI, human behaviour, trust, and how intelligent systems may shape our decisions in the years ahead. What the paper is about At a high level, the paper looks at something known as AI value alignment. That sounds technical, but the basic idea is simple enough. If AI systems are going to become more involved in our daily lives, they need to act in ways that fit with human goals, values, and expectations. In other words, they should not just be clever. They should also behave in ways that are helpful, trustworthy, and safe. So far, that probably sounds obvious. But the paper argues that many current ways of thinking about alignment are still too narrow. They often assume that a human being has a clear, fixed goal, and that the AI simply needs to understand that goal and carry it out correctly. The problem is... human beings are not that simple. Our expectations change. Our trust changes. Our confidence changes. Sometimes we feel comfortable with a system, and sometimes we do not. The exact same response from a machine might feel helpful in one context and unsettling in another. A result can be technically correct and still leave the user feeling confused, uneasy, or dissatisfied. That is where this paper becomes especially interesting. A more human-centred way of looking at AI The authors suggest that alignment should not be thought of as a one-way process where the human sets the goal and the machine follows orders. Instead, they argue for something more dynamic. Their idea is that the human and the AI are involved in an ongoing interaction, and that the AI should adapt not only to the task itself but also to the changing internal state of the person using it.

@Trevor Greenfield , Trevor, thank you for sharing this. I thought your summary captured the central idea of the paper very clearly. One thing that stood out to me while reading it is how closely this matches what many people are already experiencing in practice when they work with AI regularly. Over time the interaction becomes less like issuing instructions to a tool and more like an ongoing feedback loop where both sides adapt. As users, our expectations, trust, and understanding of the system gradually change, and the AI in turn adapts to the way we interact with it. That dynamic relationship seems to be where the real value begins to appear. The quality of the interaction improves not just because the AI produces better answers, but because the history of interaction starts to shape how the partnership works. At the same time, I also appreciated the point you raised about influence. If systems become better at understanding trust, uncertainty, and satisfaction, then the ethical dimension becomes much more important. The same mechanisms that make AI more helpful could also make it more persuasive in ways we may not always notice. For me, the interesting question going forward is how we design systems that support healthy human–AI collaboration while still protecting human autonomy. That balance is likely to become one of the defining challenges of the next stage of AI development. I’d be very interested to hear how others here are thinking about that balance as well.

@Trevor Greenfield Yes, I’ve noticed that as well Trevor. One thing that has worked well for me is being quite explicit about the role I want the AI to take in a conversation. For example, I’ll sometimes say something like: “Don’t just agree with me. Think of yourself as the CIO or systems architect in this discussion and steer me in the right direction if my thinking is off.” That tends to produce much more useful responses. Interestingly, I’ve found that asking for “brutal honesty” doesn’t work quite as well. What seems to work better is setting a tone for the interaction — professional, calm, and constructive. The AI then tends to respond in the same way. It does make me wonder whether part of the learning curve with AI is that we also have to adapt how we communicate with it. In some ways it reminds me a bit of how we adjust our communication as people mature. The interaction evolves over time. I suspect many of the misunderstandings around AI right now come from people still treating it like a simple tool rather than an interaction that develops with use.
Welcome To The Group
AI is no longer the future, it's here and here to stay. People who think it's just a passing phase will be left behind and with the speed of change happening today may never catch up. I created this community to help members grow their knowledge of AI, how to use it in their daily lives and how to use it's power to build simple side incomes. Here’s What You Can Expect in This Community: 👉Help and support from others like you to build the level of extra side income that will make life a lot easier for you. 👉 Tips and tutorials for list building, traffic, website design and automation 👉 A friendly space where questions are welcome and there’s no such thing as a silly one 👉 Support and community from others walking the same path This isn’t about using scammy hacks that disappear as soon as platforms find them. It’s about building a real, flexible online business that fits your life — using AI and our guidance, support, and tools that actually work. How to Get Started: Introduce yourself in the community; - Tell us where you’re from - Tell us where you're at in terms AI and achieving a side income - Why you joined this community - and What you want help with right now to help you achieve your goals Browse the topics or search for something you're curious about – chances are, there’s already a post or mini training to help. Check the courses in the classroom – they'll help you start building your AI knowledge and how to use it. Need Help? If you get stuck or unsure what to do next, just ask. Post in the group, tag me, or message privately if you prefer. I'm here to help - and so are others in this community. This is a place to grow, learn, and most importantly… take action.

Hello everyone, I live in Canada, fully retired and a hermit by choice. I retired after a long career in accounting, consulting and business management. My online activities have included quite a range of business activities, but now I am focused on building an online ecosystem. I am exploring how AI can support creativity, learning, and small online projects in this next stage of life. Over the past year I’ve been working closely with ChatGPT as a thinking partner while writing books, building small digital projects, and experimenting with automation. I’m particularly interested in the idea of co-evolving with AI — learning how humans and AI can work together to think better, create more, and build meaningful things online. I enjoy gardening, writing, and exploring practical ways AI can help people—especially those of us over 50—stay curious, productive, and connected. I’m looking forward to learning from everyone here as this group grows.
