Since we're seeing more movies now, @PaulaJFoley and I came up with a simple rating system:
* See it today!
* See it in the theatre
* Stream it with popcorn
* Watch it while folding laundry
* Skip it
* So bad you might want to see it anyway

For some things GPT can obviate the need for a skill.
For others GPT can give you leverage but doesn't obviate the need for skill. In fact it might require MORE skill.
It's good to be aware of these two kinds of help GPT can provide you so you don't mistake one for the other.

It's amazing to me how often I think of a dance I saw more than 30 years ago, choreographed and performed solo by David Parsons (@ParsonsDance). It gives me goose bumps when I talk about it ... so simple and powerful ...
But the climax ... wow ... the audience shot to its feet, cheering madly. I'm still affected by that, 3 decades later. That's the standard of artistic excellence for me. That's what every artist is shooting for - to move people from their seats ...
Woah, difficult but interesting take … I don’t have enough experience to know if it’s “right” but definitely worth a read!
I second this! Love working with @nathanjpowellUX … he’s super efficient at coming up with usable designs

Highly recommend Nathan for ongoing SaaS design/UX work.
He's been helping us fill this gap in SignWell now for several months and it's been amazing working with a true pro like him.
(And super nice working with someone that's been a SaaS founder so understands the business side/tradeoffs)
Attention SaaS companies: If you're in need of a product designer but don't have the resources for a full-time hire, I can help.
I offer several packages that can adapt to your specific needs. Check my bio for more information. 👍
