What if you had an add-on for your product that let it do: general research and documentation summarization categorization sentiment analysis personality analysis code generation/editing configuration assistance pattern matching/vetting editorial assistance project management questioning & ideation Well you do, you just have to figure out the right way to add it. To do so, it is crucial to become good at writing custom add-on code – ie. mastering your human language of choice. Which in turn involves mastering the art of providing a series of questions in a sequence, with context as needed, like Socrates, any artful purveyor of the 5 Whys, and surely, our homo sapien ancestors who first started to develop modern natural language technology 50k to 100k years ago. Anyway, you guessed it – the add-on is LLM technology and the proof of concept is ChatGPT. Jonathan’s right: Steve Job’s “next big thing” is here.
