"“Right now, it's not ready for prime time in all spots of our lives. Over the last year, did it get considerably better? Absolutely.”"
"“I was going to try as many AI products as possible for the year,” she said. That meant ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, but also humanoid robots, home robots, and self-driving cars."
"Stern built a promotional website for her book with an AI-automated fulfillment chain. A user uploads a receipt, AI processes it and confirms the address, the data flows into a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet triggers an email to her publisher. She singled out Claude Code as a big leap. “Multi-step processes have gotten extremely better” with AI, she said."
"When they asked ChatGPT a question about her son's praying mantis, the AI said it was pregnant. Her son was very excited, but two days later the insect died. It was an important lesson. Stern said her children are “questioning AI so much more than the average kid because they saw us get things wrong ... and the results of that.”"
A year-long experiment used many AI tools across daily life, including chatbots, humanoid robots, home robots, and self-driving cars. The strongest benefit came from offloading administrative work through an AI-automated fulfillment chain that processed receipts, confirmed addresses, updated a spreadsheet, and triggered an email to a publisher. Multi-step processes improved substantially, with Claude Code highlighted as a major leap. Full automation of email was avoided because of risk. A key lesson came from children using AI first for household questions: a ChatGPT response claimed a praying mantis was pregnant, but the insect died two days later. The outcome emphasized verifying AI outputs and questioning AI more than usual.
