What is Stable Discussion
An introduction to our publication
Welcome, and thanks for reading Stable Discussion! We appreciate the support we’ve received and are honoured that you’re tuning in roughly every week to see what we've been learning and discussing!
As we quickly started sharing what we've been thinking, we may have missed introducing ourselves. This publication, Stable Discussion, shares expert and approachable insights about modern artificial intelligence. We post articles and discuss these exciting changes on our podcast. We aim to make our content approachable and fun while helping to spread ideas and share our perspectives.
Our hosts, Ben Hofferber and Abdella Ali are both experienced consultants and engineers focused on web and mobile customer experience. We've built services and websites for many Fortune 500 companies and have seen how difficult it can be to implement cutting-edge technical solutions in real-world environments. We use our experience to take a critical look at AI and how companies and people are looking to use it.
This excitement and learning encouraged us to found Hint Services. We help advise and consult with companies looking to create user experiences leveraging AI. To get a taste of what we do, look to the AI UI/UX patterns page, where we highlight the patterns we're currently excited about. We believe that generative AI enables much more than just creating chatbots.
Building AI tools and sharing our discussions and ideas with you, our audience, helps us to better understand what AI is really changing. We're always trying new tools and testing those tools here to see what everyone thinks. This gives us a unique perspective that we're excited to keep sharing and developing with the larger community.
Thank you again for reading and listening. You'll be hearing from us again very soon!

Content to Get Started
Below is some of the content we're most proud of. It's been an amazing 8 months for us, and as we reflect, these are some of the high points that most stand out.
This has been our most popular and trending post so far. A great introduction to thinking about what AI really is that helps to defuse some of the hype and ground yourself in the real interesting capabilities on display in the world today.
This post is one of our favourites for discussing how creatives look to use AI. We have a few follow-up posts like The Mental and Creative Cost of GPT, but this is an excellent introduction to our ideas around AI art and creativity.
If this post wasn't enough of an introduction, check out our Podcast. On the latest episode, we share what we've been up to recently and help round out this introduction with some more of our focuses and ideas.
This post helps shed light on the strange realities of AI and how they work today. It's surreal that these AI models act so human in ways that keep them from being our familiar cold and calculating computers. For a shift in perspective, we think this helps to better understand them.
This post got our parents to try out AI and ask us many questions about how they could do new things! I can't imagine a better endorsement for an article. If you have not found an excellent way to use AI or are still learning, check it out.
