I used to be in MasterChef Malaysia.
Even got to Top 6. I was really obsessed with cooking.
And as a finalist, I was in no shortage of opportunities.
But one thing held me back from pursuing a culinary career - I didn't like how I was.
I was really overweight from being unable to control my curiosity when it comes to food
I cooked more from ego and a desire to impress, instead of the love of cooking
So eventually, I quit cooking altogether.
For a time, I thought that was the end of it.
But I’ve come to realize that I am still “cooking”... just in a different way.
Instead of making dishes, I am cooking AI processes.
Instead of multi-course meals, I use the level of precision I developed during my cooking days to develop CustomGPTs, workflows, CTPs, prompts, and the like.
I spent the bulk of my time today working on Drawr.
If you recall, I hosted the Zoom call introducing Drawr last week.
It went well, but I noticed some behaviors Drawr did that aren't as they should, even though it went well during testing.
Most people would just call it and move on. But my pride as a craftsman wouldn't let me.
So I went back and took a closer look.
Turns out, the data it was trained on somehow wasn't translating properly.
So I went individually to each of the visuals, piece by piece, to rewrite them so that Drawr wouldn't misinterpret them in the future.
This is one of the things that most AI creators don’t do.
They use AI to create their AI tools, and barely spare a second glance to do QC.
Or, they simply use AI to QC their AI work for them.
Which is why our AI landscape these days is filled with so much AI slop.
This is my burden, my pride, and also my advantage.
As I continue to develop NEO and deepen my skills with AI, this is what I’ve come to realize.
Many AI developers can have more skill than me.
They can be more prolific than me.
They may also have my ingredients, or even my recipe.
But only I have my specific taste, and my specific pride.
And that is precisely what people who think like me want.
In the future where anyone can replicate anything with AI, proprietary knowledge is no longer as big of a moat as they used to be.
In this new era, taste and pride is what differentiates between brands.
All competent chefs behind big restaurants can replicate any recipe.
But loyal customers for a specific restaurant go there because their taste aligns with that of the restaurant owners.
The ‘How-Tos’ are relevant.
But not as much as the brand owner’s specific taste and pride in their offerings.
I'm building the AI Client Factory Tool Tier.
