Usually I don't find generative AI useful for writing Bitcoin Optech (npub1hku…432p) newsletters. I often don't start out fully understanding the ideas we cover and so I can't tell if what the AI writes is accurate or nonsense. Writing it myself forces me to really think about it, and I can just keep iterating on my draft until it feels accurate (and then it gets peer reviewed).

However, this week I'm writing the year in review newsletter and it's fun just pasting in my text from earlier in the year into a LLM running privately on my laptop and asking it to summarize everything into a single paragraph. I can just edit, add links, and I'm done! Whee!
