“How do you get good at making videos? You make videos.” - Cory Minton

Cory is one of the best creators I know. When someone asks how to get comfortable in front of a camera, his answer is just as simple: get in front of the camera.

I think the same goes for AI.

The first few tries feel clumsy. You don’t know what to ask, the answers are a little off, and it feels faster to just do it yourself. That’s the point where some people may quit.

Keep going. Every time you use it, you learn what it’s good at, where it goes wrong, and how to ask better. And, if done strategically, it gets to know you better and provides better results. The comfort comes from the reps, and so does the return.

I use AI almost every day now to organize my notes, edit videos, sharpen my writing, and prep for talks. It took plenty of clumsy attempts before it got useful. Now it’s one of the best returns on my time.

Nobody gets good at AI by reading about AI.

So pick one real task this week and do it with AI. Then do it again next week.

What’s the first task you’d hand to AI?
