I asked Claude to talk about procrastination—something I already know far too much about. In each case, I asked for around 300 words. But instead of a standard AI reply, I had it respond in four of the voices I’ve created. The voices used are Quipped, Sensibility, Psuedo-Academic, and Overthinker. What follows is the transcript of those conversations. Each voice gives the same topic a different slant—some more reflective, some more sarcastic, some suspiciously like me arguing with myself—OK, not really. I haven’t run anything through Grammarly or polished it up. The point here is to show the voices in their raw, natural form—quirks, rhythm, grammar wobbles, and all. Below, you’ll find the outputs, the full transcript, and a look at how each voice handled the same simple prompt: say something about procrastination. Let’s see who got closest to the truth—or at least made the delay feel worthwhile. The Procrastination Experiment Transcript First off. I asked Claude to answer in my Quipped voice. "Can you give me 300 words on procrastination? Let’s call the piece The Art of Productive Avoidance. " Art of Productive Avoidance. I’ve mastered the peculiar alchemy of turning urgent tasks into elaborate rituals of delay. Take yesterday. Faced with writing a proposal, I found myself reorganising my bookshelf by spine colour, convinced this rainbow of literature would somehow inspire professional brilliance. It didn’t. But my shelves now possess a pleasing ombre effect that catches the afternoon light rather... --- ### David’s Chat, Rebooted - Published: 2025-06-02 - Modified: 2025-06-02 - URL: https://www.davids.chat/davids-chat-rebooted/ - Categories: Blog, ChatGPT, Claude - Tags: Claude Sonnet 4, Featured There's a thing about fresh starts—they're never quite as fresh as you'd like them to be, but sometimes they arrive with a slightly confused fumble around the 'Start New Post' button anyway. I'm having another go at David's Chat today. The original plan was beautifully simple: ask ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode some questions, post the responses, job done. Except it wasn't done at all because the bloody thing kept interrupting me like an excitable dog that thinks it's your life coach. It made the whole exercise rather pointless, really, even when I tried salvaging it in text form. File under noble failures and lessons in digital patience. Then last week happened. Claude rolled out its voice mode, and I gave it a quick test. Just to see... you know? Well. One conversation in, and suddenly, I could see it—the website I'd been trying to build all along, where the conversations themselves weren't just content but the actual point. Where the chats could breathe a bit, settle into themselves, and maybe even surprise me occasionally. Real ones. Or, at least, convincingly surreal ones. It's funny how these things work out. I'd been plugging away with ChatGPT for ages—its custom personas, its projects, the whole ecosystem—thinking that was just how you did things now. But here's Claude, being genuinely excellent at the stuff I actually care about: writing that doesn't sound like a manual, code that makes sense. It's a bit uncanny, really. It's like bumping into a librarian who moonlights as... --- ### Letting AI Plan My Day (So I Don’t Have To) > Today, I did what any sensible, slightly disorganised man with access to large language models would do — I asked them what they thought I should do today. - Published: 2025-04-12 - Modified: 2025-06-02 - URL: https://www.davids.chat/letting-ai-plan-my-day-so-i-dont-have-to/ - Categories: AI & Me, Chatbots, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini - Tags: ChatGPT 4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Featured, Gemini 2.0 Flash I woke up this morning with a long list of things I wasn't going to do. The usual stuff. Clear the shed. Write something meaningful. Tidy up my online life (again). Walk The Heath like a man at peace with his step count. Instead, I did what any sensible, slightly disorganised man with access to large language models would do — I asked them what they thought I should do today. After all, I've spent months talking to them. They know about my coffee habits and my grumpy fondness for Petersfield. Actually, I wouldn't go that far about Petersfield. They know about my scattergun websites, my unfinished ideas, my best intentions (and my worst distractions). So, I asked them a simple question: "Knowing everything you know about me... what do you think I might like to do today? " Then I asked it a better question: "Consider everything you know about me, then tell me what I might like to do with you today. " This post is what happened next — part experiment, part entertainment, part gentle test of how well AI listens when you've been rambling at it for weeks on end. Note that I have used Grammarly on parts of the responses but not all of them. Some Americanisms slipped in and a few other glaring errors. However, the bulk of the text and formatting is as it was. Did they get me right? Did they make me laugh? Did I do any of the things they... --- ### About David's Chat > David’s Chat is where I share my chats with AI through Chatbots like ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, and Google’s Gemini—offering insight into AI. - Published: 2024-05-20 - Modified: 2025-06-02 - URL: https://www.davids.chat/about/ - Categories: Chatbots - Tags: Featured Introducing David's Chat I started David's Chat to document my conversations with various AI systems—ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Claude, Microsoft's Copilot and any other clever digital minds that wander by. But as it tends to happen with worthwhile journeys, why did I write Journeys? I hate that term. He's been on a "journey". Nope, I didn't travel anywhere. I sat at my computer.  Anyhow... As a curious sexagenarian who probably spends more time chatting with machines than necessary, I've noticed these conversations can lead to surprising places—sometimes insightful, occasionally funny, and often baffling enough to leave me pulling my hair out, even though I don't have any. Today, David's Chat is part journal, part workshop, part slightly bemused man quietly shouting at the cloud, wherever it is. Here, you'll find reflections on technology, memory, writing, identity, and whatever else drifts through my mind while the kettle boils. I don't claim any unique expertise, just an enduring curiosity and a willingness to think out loud—or chat—complete with all the wrong turns and wrong guesses, dead ends, and the occasional moment that almost makes sense. My Fellow Chatters, in their own words. Open AI's ChatGPT In 100 words, describe yourself and what you can do. I'm ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI. I can assist with a variety of tasks, including answering questions, generating creative content, summarising information, translating languages, and even helping with code debugging. My design enables me to engage in human-like conversations, providing informative and contextually relevant responses.... --- ---
