The AI read my whole archive, 1.2 million words, and found my patterns

He asked the AI to read everything he has published, 1.2 million words on his site plus his social posts. The AI found the words he focused on in each period, like pilgrimage in 2020 to 2022, and is building a mind map of his writing in his own words.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI reads his full website archive and social posts
  2. It counts which words spike in which years
  3. He posts the first findings
  4. The AI builds a verbal mind map as an OPML file for his outliner app

Why it’s worth knowing

Nearly half a million of his own words turned out to be work he was sent to write, not topics he chose.
