🎯 Three Core Statements
1. I lead with the right questions.
AI is only as powerful as the intention behind it. I don’t wait for it to ask—I know what I’m trying to understand, solve, or explore. My clarity shapes the results.
2. I integrate AI into my daily workflow—intentionally.
Whether I’m debugging code, improving my writing in a second language, understanding my dog’s behavior, or discovering the perfect book for my mindset—AI helps me sharpen my work, not skip it.
3. I explore with AI to expand my creativity.
From designing images to refining guitar tones, I use AI as a creative partner. It opens paths I wouldn’t take alone—but I’m still holding the map.
📜 Joel’s AI Manifesto: Think First. Then Ask.
I use AI every day—but not to think for me.
I use it to:
• Fix bugs I already understand.
• Polish the words I already want to say.
• Chase the sound I’m already hearing.
• Feed the curiosity I already feel.
• Discover books that reshape how I think—because it’s trained to recognize the patterns behind my curiosity.
In every interaction, I lead with a question.
The tool is only powerful when I know what I’m aiming for.
AI is not my teacher. It’s my assistant.
Not my imagination. It’s my amplifier.
Not my voice. It’s my reverb.
Whether I’m debugging, cooking, writing, riffing, reading, or researching —
I’m not replacing myself.
I’m refining myself.
I think first.
Then I ask.
