Experiment of one

I’ve become particularly impressed with AI and especially one called Poe (and its bot assistants). This is an edited definition* of one this AI-powered chatbot churned out in a matter of seconds:

An "experiment of one" refers to a type of experimental design where an individual serves as both the subject and the experimenter. In this type of experiment, the individual tests a hypothesis or investigates a research question by manipulating variables and observing the outcomes on themselves. It is a self-experimentation approach that allows individuals to gather data and draw conclusions based on their own experiences.

Examples of Experiment of One:
1. Personal Health and Lifestyle: An individual may conduct an experiment of one to test the effects of different diets, exercise routines, or sleep patterns on their own health and well-being.
2. Cognitive Performance: Someone might investigate the impact of various study techniques, memory strategies, or environmental factors on their own cognitive performance through an experiment of one.
3. Productivity and Time Management: An individual may experiment with different productivity techniques, work schedules, or task prioritization methods to optimize their own productivity and time management skills.

I can't do better than that, but I will add that this is sometimes abbreviated as "n=1" or "n of 1."

An oft-used phrase is "Each of us is an **experiment of one**."

Willy Wonka Experience

When something is significantly less than described.

Based on an early 2024 event in Glasgow, Scotland where parents were led to believe they were taking their children to an immersive Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory experience. In reality, it was a mostly bare warehouse with AI-printed decorations. Also, no actual chocolate was provided.
He told me he was a great cook and to come over for dinner. When I got there, it was boxed mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs. It was a real Willy Wonka Experience.
