AI is the new mediocre.

AI won't make us good.

↳ AI will make mediocre much better.

You are at a crossroads. Either you're the one saying:

"AI is awesome. It makes my life easier."

Sure, it does.

Faster writing. Faster brainstorming. Faster (deep)searching.

Everything is faster, easier, and it keeps getting better.

GPT-3 (the one that went viral in November 2022) looks like a joke compared to ChatGPT-o3 & all of its features.

1 - ChatGPT now accesses the web.

2 - ChatGPT now reads PDFs, generates images, understands Excel, does maths...

3 - ChaGPT now reasons before answers (o3 / o4-mini...) giving much better answers.

4 - ChatGPT now remembers everything, making it literally a digital twin accessible 24/7.

The list goes on & on. How awesome, right?

Well, not so much.

This is the new mediocre now. The least a human can do (for $20 per month).

If this is you, you will be the first to be replaced.

(If this is me, I'll be the first to be replaced too)

Why should I pay for someone simply breaking even with mediocrity?

Fiverr $1bn company's CEO agrees. Mediocrity isn't enough anymore.

Why should I pay for people cheating their way in?

Cheating... Breaking-even with mediocrity... There must be another way.

There is. And it's this kind of person:

"AI is awesome. I can do so much more now."

☑ AB testing 1,000+ ads per day using AI.

☑ Publishing 1,000+ social video clips per day using Opus Clip.

☑ Generating 1,000+ few second shots using Kling to choose from.

☑ Creating 1,000+ moodboards for a single brand using Midjourney.

☑ Crafting 1,000+ investor-ready slide decks quarterly using Gamma.

☑ Coding 1,000+ websites with Lovable to flip for oldschool businesses.

☑ Brainstorming, benchmarking, deep researching anything with ChatGPT.

☑ Producing 1,000+ personalized video lessons using Synthesia for Fortune 100.

It's not "AI to do less" it's "AI to do more".

Because AI without taste is the new baseline, the mediocre.

But AI with taste (= experience, failures, successes, gut feeling) is the new worthy.

→ I don't want to pay you to use AI.

→ I want to pay an AI used by you specifically.

How to shape your taste to be a better AI user.

How to shape your taste in the age of AI

1 - Build a curated reference library

Pick 30–50 best-in-class examples across your field (ads, videos, slide decks).

Bookmark them in a folder or Notion so you can revisit anytime.

2 - Deconstruct every detail

For each example, ask “Why does this work?”

Break it into its core elements: tone, pacing, hierarchy, color, structure.

3 - Translate insights into bite-sized rules

Write 3–5 “taste rules” per example.

E.g., “Headlines never exceed 8 words,” “Use two contrasting fonts only,” “Punch line arrives by 10s.”

4 - Test AI against your rules

Prompt your AI (ChatGPT, Gamma, Synthesia…) to generate 5 variations.

Score each strictly by your taste rules. Discard the rest.

5 - Blind-rank AI outputs

Remove labels. Mix human and AI samples.

Rank top 3 purely by gut feel. Note what jumps out—what feels off, what feels right.

6 - Seek validation from social media

What resonated with people? A post generating leads for X is your #1 validation.

7 - Iterate on your own work

Create a small project (a 3-slide deck, a 15-sec clip, a landing-page header).

Apply your taste rules, then run an AI remix. Refine until it beats your reference library.
