Barbie Is the Movie Feminism Needed

The social discussion it generated was the marketing byproduct that society wasn’t expecting. — Barbie came out as a huge box-office success and that should not be surprising at all, since the marketing budget of 150 million dollars surpassed the movie budget itself and teamed up with many other platforms and brands, like Airbnb, Spotify, and Zara. The machine was well-oiled and continued its…

Thanks to the ever-advancing world of technology, AI is a new ally to aid in this literary struggle. — As a writer, combating the dreaded writer’s block is an ongoing battle that often halts progress and dampens creativity. Since I’ve been struggling with this, I turned to ChatGPT for assistance to finish a novel I’ve been working on for a couple of years. I harnessed its capabilities to help…

Medium, She Said Yes!

She made me understand the magic of marriage. — Marriage can be seen as an investment in some countries since it brings some fiscal benefits. However, in Portugal, a regular couple that has been together for a while ends up benefiting from the same fiscal benefits as a married couple. I’m the atypical hopeless romantic that never saw marriage…

Medium, This Is What ChatGPT Has to Say About You

A brutally honest review about Medium from Artificial Intelligence and my response to it — We all either praised or criticized Medium at some point in our presence here on the platform.

Last year I tried day trading Cardano, following 2 indicators: Bollinger Bands and Relative Strength Index. This is the maximum I can analyze when it comes to crypto/stock market graphics. So I took it to ChatGPT to do it for me. I asked it to analyze the growth patterns of…

Bye, Curation. I’ll Stick to Short-Form

Why? You ask. Mostly because of Kristina the “Short Form” God. When I found Medium I decided to write some sort of thriller fiction. Little did I know that because of that I ended up in the Curation Hell urban legend. It took a long time to climb out of it and get my first curated article. The excitement of writing here rapidly wore off. And then I read about Kristina’s success with short-form content — there was light after all!
