Increasingly common sequence for conceptual work:
(1) need to figure stuff out
(2) lots of Fable chats
(3) increasing confusion & frustration
(4) sit in chair and think & read w/o AI takes
(5) it all comes together

I feel the "no, that's wrong" reaction to seeing the AI give bad takes on my ideas is actually sometimes really helpful.

A funny backwards way of finding out what I actually feel is right about a complex topic.
