A recent AI experiment involved feeding weeks of handwritten puppy potty logs into ChatGPT. My wife and I tracked every pee, poop, walk, and accident for our puppy Oliver, creating a new breed of KPI: Key Potty Indicators.
ChatGPT extracted the data from our scribbled notes and turned it into a fully formatted CSV file. Then it went to town charting the heck out of these KPIs.
It came up with a host of fancy metrics, including ARR (Accident Reduction Rate), LTV (Longest Time Void-free), PTP (Poop-to-Pee) ratio, WAF (Weekly Accident-Free) rate, and DPV (Daily Potty Volume).
This chart was useful, showing how accidents correlate with how often we walk Oliver.

How did mere humans ever figure out how often to walk puppies before genAI chatbots?
This reminds me of so many social media posts I've seen from AI users who've apparently outsourced their brains to chatbots.
