Best Ali Abdaal Quotes

We use AI for pretty much every aspect of our team's workflow and my personal life.

One of my philosophies on using AI tools is that the goal is not to get the AI to write the stuff. The purpose is for this to be a personal newsletter where I'm sharing what are genuinely my own thoughts.

I'm only using AI in a way to augment that. The kernel and the seed of the idea is coming from me myself, and I'm using AI to help pull stuff out of myself rather than do the work for me.

One mistake I've often seen people make with AI tools is that they sort of think that the output is just going to be amazing straight up. But you saw in this example, I did like four or five different outputs. By doing these outputs a few different times, you come to one that's like 80% good.

Previously, writing my newsletter would take me about two hours because I'd be typing everything up. Now, it takes more like half an hour because I start off by speaking using Voicepal, and then I use AI to refine it.

I almost always use both Claude and ChatGPT and give them basically the same prompt. Claude, I have found, is for the most part, 80% of the time, just better at writing. But the nice thing about ChatGPT is that ChatGPT has the memory function, so it actually knows a lot more about me than Claude does.

There is an incredible piece of software called Claude Code that I've been using for the last 3 months and it has completely and utterly changed my life.

Claude Code is the tool that I've been spending most of my time on practically 24/7 for the last like 2 months.

It's absolutely sick.

I was intimidated by Claude Code because it involved the terminal.

I was like, "Oh my god, terminal."

"I'm not like some hacker from the 1990s."

"Why do I need to use the terminal?"

And then I realized I was a total dumbass for thinking that.

And actually, it's really straightforward.

I've built stuff for my business and for my customers that literally adds value to our customers every single day.

People are raving about the tools that I've managed to build for them over the last couple of months just by learning how to use Claude Code.

Every single day the gap between the people that just use the free version of ChatGPT and talk to it on the web versus people that know how to build stuff using Claude Code even if you don't know how to code.

Every single day that gap is getting wider and wider.

Using Claude Code, every single day I'm learning so much about the world.
