Episode notes
Articulate Your Taste With AI
- Taste is the ability to articulate why something is good rather than follow trends.
- Evan and Dan used AI to surface and name their tastes, which then guided their writing choices.
Use Consensus To Rapidly Ground Topics
- Use research tools like Consensus to quickly survey scientific literature and extract key findings.
- Combine those syntheses with LLM explanations to reach expert-level understanding fast.
Let AI Fill Gaps, Then Revoice
- Use AI-enabled editors like Lex to write factual or explanatory paragraphs in-line so you keep drafting momentum.
- Later, revoice and personalize those AI-generated passages rather than leaving them unchanged.
