Four prompts. Four laughs. Zero onboarding.

Hörni. My wife did it. My daughter-in-law did it. My work bestie at Volvo Trucks did it. And I did it, of course. The ChatGPT caricature trend. Four prompts, four laughs, zero onboarding required.

I know, I know. Silly viral trend. But I want to ”dra en lans” (go to bat) for these moments. Because underneath the fun, something interesting is happening.

Without anyone planning it, we all ended up in the same conversation. How did it interpret my job? Why did it pick THAT detail? What happens if I change the prompt? Sara got a "Data Queen" coffee mug. I got a little robot sidekick. Nelly's dog made the cut. Kattis got a clipboard that says "PLAN" (spot on, by the way).

This is what my principle #1 looks like in the wild: invite AI into everything you do. Not because every experiment is profound. Because every experiment can be a learning moment disguised as play. Homo Ludens at its finest. You learn things without trying to learn things. How context shapes output. How framing changes everything. How AI ”sees” you versus how you see yourself (and what that might mean for ChatGPT ads). That's prompting literacy, delivered through fun instead of a PowerPoint.

And principle #4: today's AI is the worst AI you'll ever have. Save these images. In twelve months, you'll look back and immediately see how far things moved. An accidental baseline, whether you planned it or not.

The sustainability cost? Roughly equivalent to a few seconds of Netflix streaming. The upside? Four people are now having real conversations about how AI actually works.

That's a trade I'll take any day 🤓
