Coffee with AI
Jeremy Epstein
Professionally, I am passionate about #Marketing and #Web3. I have other passions as well and I'm not shy about sharing them on LinkedIn. ????????????????
I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”.
During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend.
It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.”
No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want.
Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quantum computing and its aspects and implications.
Sometimes, I am in need of financial or tax advice.
Sometimes, I do a therapy session on an emotional issue that is challenging me.
Or, it can be help with how to present a difficult topic to a friend.
It really doesn’t matter.
What matters is that I look at the AI in the same way that I would if I were having coffee with you.
Only the AI has the amassed knowledge of all of the world’s PhDs in any topic, has infinite patience, doesn’t look at its phone during the conversation, and has versatility to explain things to me in a variety of ways.
The point here is that I’m training myself to collaborate with AI.
It’s easy to be AI’s boss.
It’s more challenging, but more rewarding, to be AI’s friend.

1 周That’s a great thought for the day, Jeremy. I spent an hour and a half last night using ChatGPT 4o (as a friend) to help me with my invidious tax conundrum. My company is in Ireland and I’m based in Spain, availing of ‘Beckham‘s law’. I had questions about dividends, tax rebates, as well as strategy concerning my company pension plan and my personal pension plan. Until now, no one advisor has been able to give me an all-encompassing view. I’ve had to piece together advice from different people. Occasionally, it has been contradictory. This process took two hours… but at the end of this productive time with my ‘AI friend’ - who, as you said has infinite patience and doesn’t look at a phone - AI gave me a ‘’master strategy’ for 2025. I then asked it to produce a simpler version. Finally, I asked it to produce a more succinct version for my simple brain! It did this immediately, and it capped everything off by creating helpful correspondence which could be sent to relevant parties. All done, I went to bed feeling relieved and a little bit cleverer. The lesson? I’m going to set a time to work with AI - not just ‘act as it’s boss.’ Humbled.
