This was really good. As someone who has started using ChatGPT(4.0) about 2 months ago I have been more productive in this time than I have ever been. Especially as someone who is into psychology, spiritually and as an astrologer this helps me breakdown concepts for common people to understand. I definitely agree that what holds people back is it feeling “Weird” to get personal with it but once you break those barriers you start to really tap into something special. This is a gift to humanity, it’s up to you to take advantage of how you desire to utilize it to make your life more efficient.

I like how you have captured a unique use of chatGPT. You may want to go to my Substack and read an article which wrote called "Let me introduce you to my A.I staff." I have used context to enrich my prompts as you have but additionally I have used AI generated context to provide thier context for different AI agents. This method of using 2 agents has quadrupled my output.

Hi Parker,

thank you for this thoughtful and beautifully structured piece –

I truly appreciate how you frame context not just as “background,”

but as a living part of the learning process.

Your approach resonates strongly with a method I’ve been developing over time:

It’s called KSODI – a recursive framework designed to explore

structured resonance between humans and generative models,

especially when voice, reflection and personalized context are in play.

Where your Student Tuner helps define context at the surface (brilliantly so),

KSODI works a layer deeper – not to optimize usage,

but to observe how meaning emerges

when models and humans co-orient in real time.

I’d be honored if you’d take a look:

No pressure at all – just wanted to share in case it inspires further thought.

And again: thank you for advocating this kind of presence in AI use. It matters.

Warm regards from Germany,

Anne

@parkjones Have you drilled into the differences between the free chat vs subscription? Do your tips work for the free (which most students probably use) ?

This was such a refreshing read. It’s wild how often we overlook the power of context not just in how we use tools like ChatGPT, but in communication overall. Loved how Parker connected everyday student experiences with something as futuristic as AI. The takeaway for me: context isn’t just a detail, it’s the doorway to deeper understanding. Thanks for sharing this!
