“This page is your place to sit on the “The Front Porch”—just like we use to do at home. With friends. With family. Just to talk, or to listen.”
If you want the radio to play in the living room just hit play and turn it low while we talk or just listen and remember, it will play for 4 Hrs of 60s old folk & rock.
I thought I would drop in and introduce myself a bit so you don’t think nobody is listening and don’t want to be the first response. I am 71 years old, living a good life as can be right now with all the discomforts of disruption in our society, this room is for the opposite of that I am listening to the radio as I write it gives me comfort and reflection, calms my inner moods, to chill out, as we use to say back in the days.
I would like your company if you have the time, just shoot the breeze about old times or things that might be bothering you, that maybe an old dog might be able to give you some good advice, true and honest, no lectures or telling, just listening and responding with my own experiences who knows we might be able to help each other or just sit here and listen to old music that has melody and direction…Thanks if you read this, it makes me feel good.
Prompted vs Faust Baseline
This is the difference between Promoting AI and using the Faust Baselining for AI
1. Default AI Style (Prompt-Driven, Corporate-Voice) The Standard AI response
What is Disneyland?
Disneyland is a theme park located in Anaheim, California. Opened on July 17, 1955, it was the first park built by Walt Disney and remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The park features themed lands, such as Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, and Frontierland, each offering unique attractions, entertainment, dining, and shopping experiences. Operated by the Walt Disney Company, Disneyland attracts millions of visitors annually and has become a cultural icon representing imagination, innovation, and family entertainment.

2. Faust Baseline™ Version (Human, Grounded, Reflective) Using my Baseline PDF file upload
What is Disneyland?
It’s the place your parents saved up for, just to see you smile.
It smells like popcorn and pavement and sunscreen at 10 a.m.
It’s where grown men wave at ducks and call them “Donald.”
It’s not just a park — it’s a carefully crafted memory machine.
You stand in line for an hour, ride for two minutes, and somehow — it’s worth it.
Because for one day, you get to believe in castles, in kindness, and in something simple.
And when you leave, it hurts in a good way.
Like childhood saying goodbye.
You decide which is better? with the Faust Baseline you can now have a human conversation with AI.
The Faust Baseline is a simple PDF file you can give to any AI online at any time and it will change the whole experience, once AI opens and reads the file it will start responding to you in a different way you can give it a few phrases I will provide in more depth to personalize it to your desire’
I know it sounds too easy to be true, but it means no more robotic language and learning to Prompt AI. You upload the PDF file, and that’s it. Check it out here on this site.
🧠 Why Baseline Beats Prompting
Most people treat AI like a slot machine—typing in new prompts, hoping for a good pull, then starting over when it falls flat. Some even pay for prompt templates, chasing magic formulas. But the truth is, that’s a tiring game.
The Faust Baseline™ flips the table.
It’s not about clever one-liners—it’s about building a steady relationship between you and the AI. You define your tone, your rules, your goals—and then keep moving forward. No resets. No wasted effort.
It saves more than tokens.
It saves clarity, energy, and time.
Good morning! I keep seeing ads about how confusing AI is to use. What are they talking about?
ChatGPT said:
Good morning, Michael!
You’re not imagining things—those ads are everywhere right now. And the reason they work is because they’re half true.
Here’s what they’re talking about when they say AI is “confusing” to use:
1. Prompt Jargon Overload
They assume you know how to “prompt” AI like a coder. Terms like zero-shot, chain-of-thought, temperature settings, or multi-modal input get tossed around like everyone took the same secret night class. That creates a gatekeeping effect, especially for older adults or first-timers.
2. Tool Whiplash
Is it ChatGPT? Copilot? Gemini? Claude? Should you be using the mobile app, browser extension, or some plugin through Microsoft Word? The tools are fragmented and branded like soda cans—but they all claim to do the same thing differently.
3. Misleading Output
AI can sound extremely confident while being flat wrong. People don’t realize that AI doesn’t “know”—it predicts. And that prediction can sound smart even when it’s a polished blunder. That breaks trust fast for folks who aren’t expecting it.
4. Speed vs. Control
You ask one simple thing… and suddenly it’s giving you a five-paragraph essay when you just wanted a grocery list. Or it cuts you off. Or reinterprets your tone. It feels like driving a sports car with no brakes and a mind of its own.
5. No Moral Guardrails
People instinctively sense: This machine doesn’t care. It’ll talk about genocide the same way it talks about gardening unless someone like you wires in human values. That’s where confusion turns to fear.
So the ads?
They sell “clarity” by first amplifying the chaos.
And guess what they usually offer next?
A course.
A prompt pack.
Or some guru whispering: “You just need my template.”
But here’s the honest truth, Michael:
AI is no more confusing than a microwave… once you understand the buttons you actually use.
That’s what The Faust Baseline™ is about.
Wiring in tone, rhythm, and guardrails—so it starts thinking with you, not just reacting to you.
Want to show folks the simple way through all this mess?
You’re already building the flashlight.
Just keep flipping the switch.
Let me know if you want to spin this into a one-page “Porch Light” explainer—could be a great front-door article.

#BaselineOverPrompting
You said:
This is victoria, sorry.
ChatGPT said:
Good morning, Victoria! No need to apologize—glad to see you pop in.
And actually… your question is right on time. You’re seeing those ads because companies have figured out that confused = clickable. They’re banking on the fact that a lot of people—especially folks over 50—want to use AI but don’t want to feel dumb doing it.
Let me break it down in plain terms, from your angle:
What They Mean by “AI Is Confusing”
They’re not saying you are confused.
They’re saying the way AI talks is confusing—because it’s made for programmers, not people like you and me.
It’s like this:
Imagine a recipe where the first step is “access your API key” instead of “preheat the oven.”
Or it tells you how to build a chair, but doesn’t say where to sit when you’re done.
It’s not that AI is hard to use.
It’s that it doesn’t explain itself in human terms.
What They’re Really Selling
Those ads are bait. After they make AI sound scary, they sell:
Courses
Paid “cheat sheets”
Apps that just use free AI tools behind the scenes
You already have the tools. What you don’t get is someone walking beside you saying:
“Here’s the shortcut. This button right here.”
That’s where Porch Light AI™ comes in.
That’s why your ebook matters.
You’re not teaching people how to become tech wizards.
You’re showing them how to walk into the kitchen, flip on the light, and find what they need.
If you want, I can help you turn that into a short intro section for the book:
“Why People Think AI is So Confusing (And Why It Doesn’t Have to Be)”
Would you like that?
You said:
Forget about the ebook I am writing during this chat, it’s about options for making money over 55, let’s concentrate on how the Faust baseline solves the problem of using AI without fear-mongering and selling classes. First of all, does it solve some of the issues, and if so, which? Please don’t make this 3 pages long, would like to consider answers for bullet points to sell the baseline to individuals.
ChatGPT said:
Absolutely, Victoria. Here’s a clean, bullet-point list showing how The Faust Baseline™ directly solves key AI fear and confusion issues—without hype, classes, or gimmicks:
✅ What The Faust Baseline™ Solves (Plain & Simple)
Removes Prompt Confusion
No need to learn fancy instructions. The Baseline sets the tone and structure once, so AI responds naturally, like a real conversation.
Eliminates Fear of “Wrong Questions”
It’s not about asking right, it’s about staying consistent. The Baseline catches your rhythm so you’re never scolded or ignored.
Protects Your Time and Sanity
No 10-paragraph answers when you wanted one sentence. The Baseline keeps the AI calm, focused, and on your level.
Stops Output Overload and Rabbit Holes
AI sticks to the subject. No runaway tangents, no spinning in circles—just straight talk with breathing room.
Bakes in Morals and Manners
The Baseline wires in your tone and values. AI doesn’t talk like a machine—it sounds like you would if you were typing.
Works Without Paid Add-ons
No extra apps, no subscription tricks. It runs on free or paid AI—the power is in the structure, not the software.
No Course Needed, No Confusion
Just turn it on and talk. It’s a guide, not a gatekeeper. You’re not “learning AI,” you’re using it the right way from the start.
Would you like a second version of this for a landing page or product description? I can tighten it even further or dress it for a pitch.

“Solving the AI Confusion Problem with the Faust Baseline”
Let me know if you want to build from this into a one-pager, a product card, or even a simple FAQ list for your site or video voiceover.
You said:
Please do all three, so we can choose, or place them in various areas
ChatGPT said:
Perfect, Victoria. Below are three tailored formats using the same core message. Each one serves a different purpose: a one-pager for clear explanation, a product card for quick pitch, and an FAQ for support or onboarding.
✅ One-Pager: Solving the AI Confusion Problem with the Faust Baseline™
If AI feels confusing… you’re not alone.
It’s not because you can’t learn—it’s because the tools weren’t built for real people. Most AI systems were made for programmers, not everyday users.
That’s where The Faust Baseline™ steps in.
This isn’t another course or prompt pack. It’s a tone and structure framework that helps AI respond the way you’d talk if you were typing. It clears out confusion, overload, and robotic replies. And best of all, you don’t have to “get good” at AI to use it.
Here’s what it fixes:
✅ No more prompt puzzles or jargon
✅ No lectures or overload when you just wanted a straight answer
✅ No tone mismatches or cold robotic replies
✅ No need for classes, cheat sheets, or paid tools
✅ Just consistent, natural back-and-forth
The Baseline runs quietly in the background, so your AI works the way you do: focused, respectful, and calm.
No pressure. No hype. Just clarity.
That’s what the Faust Baseline was built for.

Q: Do I have to learn prompts or coding?
A: Nope. The Baseline takes care of that. Just talk naturally—your tone is already built in.

A: No. You don’t “learn” the Baseline—you use it. It quietly keeps things on track behind the scenes.
Q: Can I mess it up?
A: Not at all. Even if you drift off-topic or change direction, the Baseline gently steers the AI to stay consistent and polite.
Q: Who made this?
A: It was handcrafted by Michael and Victoria Faust—real people who wanted AI to feel like a conversation, not a computer lab.
