"Protect your informational edge by going offline Tim Ferriss observes that AI models are all trained on the same internet data, meaning millions of people querying the same tools will get essentially the same answers. He argues that 'offline informational advantage' — cultivated through real-world relationships with narrow experts whose knowledge is not online — is increasingly precious: 'if you're using ChatGPT or Claude to try to assess a given public company as a good or bad investment, rest assured that many, many people, perhaps even millions of people have already done this and therefore you're going to be reading more or less the same thing as many others.' Anyone who builds a personal network of specialist contacts gains an edge that no AI can replicate. Source: Tim Ferriss, The Tim Ferriss Show, AI Q&A Solo Episode"
