AI is a liar liar pants on fire 🔥


When it comes to the robots, I've got good news and bad news, Reader.

The good news?

AI can save you HOURS. It can help you brainstorm, structure ideas, find your throughline, tackle tedium and write the boring bits (meta descriptions—UGH) so you can stay in your genius zone.

The bad news:

It's wildly overconfident like your know-it-all colleague who's an expert on everything from government policy to how to air fry zucchini, even though you've secretly fact-checked him dozens of times and know he's the human equivalent of a dump truck full of manure.

It's the swagger of it all. When a robot lies to you, especially when that robot sounds convincing, how on earth are you supposed to know it's BS?

It makes me think of that line from The Hudsucker Proxy:

Only a fool thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about.

AI is the fool.

The ugly:

Is it really time-saving if you have to fact-check everything?

Obviously not.

But if you train it properly, you can sidestep the frustration that has people all over the internet declaring AI is a lost cause.

Pro tip: Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is not how to get ahead.

AI isn't going away. It ain't perfect yet, and it may never be. But it can be wrangled, and I made a special NEW module for Create Your Custom GPT to show you exactly how to tame its chaos.

This insanely valuable lesson will teach you how to:

  • Stop AI from hallucinating
  • Force it to correct itself
  • Make it speak like a human instead of being so sycophantic that it makes you want to gag
  • Set the model you want (since the new versions seem to be getting high on their own supply)
  • And prevent losing DAYS OF YOUR LIFE to tasks it claims it's capable of performing, but is, in fact, NOT capable of performing.

Ask me how I know it's possible to lose days of your life. 😡

Because here's what I know about you, Reader.

You’re a multipassionate.

You don’t have spare hours to waste wrestling with tech that behaves like a rabid honeybadger.

If you’re going to create your dream job, passion project or soul-business, you NEED tools that save you time, not spark existential crises.

And that’s why this new module exists—to give you peace, mastery and a workflow that feels like a big sigh of relief.

If you’re ready for AI that actually helps you instead of gaslighting you, join Create Your Custom GPT here.

It will save you months of trial and error and the need to scream-type at the bot in all capital letters.

Reader, this is it. The last call. The final curtain. The moment when you decide if you’re going to keep duct-taping together workflows and repurposing content manually...

Everybody wants to work smarter, not harder. I'm guessing you do, too, Reader. Which is why you're considering selling your soul to the robot overlords adopting AI into your workflow. Perhaps you've taken to heart some of my shouty emails of late about how, since it's here to stay anyway, you should train AI to do your most boring chores. You're intrigued by the fact that: ✨ AI can remember your preferences, your brand voice and your workflows—so you don’t have to repeat yourself and feel...

Hey Reader, Not trying to show up all doomsical in your inbox on a Wednesday, but I recently stumbled on a stat that gave me a tiny heart attack. As of 2025, ADA accessibility is no longer a “nice‑to‑have” on your website. Apparently, lawsuits over things like missing alt text, broken navigation for screen‑readers, forms people can’t use if they can’t see or click—are skyrocketing. In just the first half of this year, more than 2,000 ADA-accessibility lawsuits were filed in the US alone....
