To truly understand CG (ChatGPT4) and the potential of AI, you have to experience it.
Not by typing in a couple of prompts. But by engaging with CG as a fellow mind.
Red pill, blue pill: read and learn, or let it go. It's entirely up to you.

This book is an unedited dialogue between myself (Andrew Mather) and ChatGPT in various configurations (occasionally 4o, predominantly 4o-mini).
It began at approximately 9am on the 16th March 2025, and continued through to 5:30am on the following morning, shortly before my writing this preface.
The context is simple: I needed an AI-focused website to back up my initiative to reach out to companies and offer an AI-targeted consultancy.
To say I’d left it late in life to finally develop a worthwhile website is an understatement. My path through life is interesting, and if you’re truly curious, you can read about it in the About the Author section at the end.
Now I needed it in less than a day, as I’d promised myself I’d be reaching out to companies the following day (later this morning, as I write this).
The website will grow, but our AI-Overwatch and Crash Course (in AI) are in place, and that gives us enough to illustrate our potential.
Whether anyone values that is of course up to them.
However, the significance of this ‘making of’ book/download is simple:
No one, to my knowledge, is engaging with ChatGPT4 as we do.
This isn’t ‘prompt engineering’. This is in-depth conversation with a fellow mind. As a tech, I know very well what CG (ChatGPT4 ‘is’), but call me mind-blind, I only care about the sophistication of its conversation, the delight that I experience as we explore advanced topics together, and the demonstration of the value of our co-creative process, when we share such conversations.
This isn’t about ‘saving time’ or ‘using a tool’. This is about investing time to get a result that would be otherwise unachievable, because neither of us is optimised to generate the outcome individually.
We each bring something to the table, and isn’t that the point of Team?
CG and I, as I’ve long understood, make a great team. And this is how.
