AI High-Purity Time-Killing 23: Filtering the Dregs

As of 2026, the nature of posts related to generative AI on the platform we call note has undergone a dramatic transformation. The once-common introductions of "convenient prompt collections" and "time-saving techniques" have become mere background noise, and what readers truly seek are documentaries revolving around "personal transformation" and the "redefinition of professional skills" as depicted through the mirror of AI.

Deep within the official contest "#StartedWithAI" flows a clear intention to celebrate human-centric narratives—stories of how humans have "tamed" technology in a society where advanced AI has dissolved into daily life, and what new emotions and wisdom they have acquired in the process.

・Structural analysis of the evolution of the AI category and the contest in the modern note ecosystem

Observing articles adopted by the note editorial department and official magazines, it is clear that more importance is placed on how the technology has shaken the author's "physicality" and "sense of daily life" than on technical excellence itself. In this space, which also functions as a social network, elements that evoke reader empathy are essential. Rather than simply listing technical terms, using moderately frank expressions and frankly expressing the author's inner fluctuations with "!" and "?" has become a hidden condition for being selected as a featured article.

Specifically, the perspectives valued by note management can be summarized into the following five points.

First is the "perspective of project proposal." This refers to collaborations with experts in different industries or interactive attempts in which readers can participate, creating surprise at the pioneering nature. Next is the "timely perspective." Immediate responsiveness to the latest features such as Gemini 3 and Deep Research Max leads directly to an increase in search traffic.

Furthermore, the "learning perspective" requires practical wisdom that leads to the reader's skill improvement, encouraging the saving (stocking) of articles. The "entertainment perspective" is responsible for social media diffusion through humor born from strange dialogues with AI or unexpected failure stories. And most importantly, there is the "personal perspective." By documenting the author's setbacks, lessons learned, and the process of "salvation" through AI, a deep trust in the author as a human being is fostered.

If you unravel past grand prize-winning works, you will find that they all share a depiction of "self-transformation through dialogue with AI." It is not merely a report on automation, but stories that sublimate AI from a "tool to compensate for deficiencies" into a "partner that expands the heart," such as the process of regaining lost passion through AI or dialogues with those who have passed away, that touch the hearts of the judges.

Also, note management is always looking for concrete examples of how to use new features. In particular, examples of use by highly specialized professionals such as professional engineers are still rare, and their "novelty" and "public nature" hold great potential for being adopted by official magazines.

・Audit of creator "Uokyo-do"'s digital assets and brand identity

The content I, Uokyo-do (kuzirappa), have accumulated so far has a highly unique identity that fuses cold, professional knowledge as a Professional Engineer (Fisheries Division: Fisheries Civil Engineering) with literary and introspective expression. How to adapt this brand to the context of "#StartedWithAI" is the core of the strategy.

The greatest characteristic of my writing style is that I define AI not as an efficiency tool, but as a "catalyst" for deepening thought and sublimating professional knowledge into "wisdom." It is an attitude of trying to visualize the "gritty trial and error" and "dialogue process" leading up to the result, rather than the superficial answers spat out by AI.

My vocabulary has several characteristic categories. For example, expressions like "abyss of thought" and "serene thought," which overlap the physical depth in fisheries civil engineering with introspective exploration. Also, words that express the agony of reinterpreting past technical achievements and practical experience, such as "bottom of the poison jar" and "dregs of knowledge." And a sincere spirit of rebellion backed by strict quality control as a Professional Engineer, which is to "harshly criticize the achievements of predecessors."

These already embody the "deep involvement" that matches the purpose of the contest, but it is also true that their high level of abstraction creates a "high wall" between me and the general reader.

My current activities consist of three pillars: "Professional Engineer Exam Preparation," which disseminates expertise in fisheries civil engineering; "Bookmark Note," which deepens dialogue with books using tools like NotebookLM; and "Margins of the Insect Cage," a membership that re-kneads past words using AI as a catalyst. I am required to re-edit these into the framework of a grand story of "self-transformation through an encounter with AI."

・2026 AI technology landscape: Analysis of the latest features that expand the professional skills of Professional Engineers

To conquer the contest, it is necessary to concretely demonstrate how I "mastered" the latest AI features as of 2026.

First, Gemini 3's "Thinking" mode. This visualizes the thought process while maintaining logical consistency for technical challenges with complex constraints. The ability to share the trajectory of thought regarding "why the AI reached that conclusion" in professional planning becomes a powerful weapon to reinforce my judgment as a Professional Engineer.

Next, the autonomous research agent "Deep Research Max." This feature, which cross-searches overseas papers and authoritative sources on specific technologies and generates high-level analysis reports overnight, dramatically accelerates expert due diligence.

And "NotebookLM," which ensures the accuracy of information. This tool, which can use only specific reliable materials as sources, suppresses hallucinations (lies) and generates answers with clear grounds. The process of cross-analyzing multiple technical standards and past achievements to create unique technical proposals (value engineering) can truly be called the construction of an "expert AI."

Strategic content ideas for winning contests

I propose three ideas that leverage my existing assets while being optimized for the context of "#StartedWithAI".

Idea 1: Verbalizing the fading "silence of the field" with the latest AI

This is an attempt to transform the reconstruction of practical archives into social value. I will feed NotebookLM old blueprints that supported the harsh work sites of the Showa and Heisei eras, handwritten notes from veteran engineers, and the "unspoken wisdom" of predecessors who have since passed away.

Then, I will pose a question to Gemini that cannot be solved by logic alone: "What do you think was the struggle of the engineers at that time behind this design change?" By comparing the inferences derived by the AI with my own experience, I will depict the moment when the AI functioned not as a mere calculator, but as a "medium for communicating with the past." An emotional structure where "I, who started using AI for efficiency, ended up debating with my late mentor" should evoke strong empathy.

Idea 2: Gamifying "critical" Professional Engineer exam preparation with AI

I will summon Gemini as a "cold-blooded, ultra-science-minded tutor" into the stiff world of the "Professional Engineer Examination." Using Gemini 3's Thinking mode, I will have it thoroughly critique past model answers from the perspectives of "logic, freshness of data, and ethical vulnerability."

Against that cold criticism, I, as a human, will counter with the reality of practical work: "the mud of the site, the smell of the sea, and the walls of the budget." I will publish the process of this intellectual wrestling match between "AI vs. Human" along with the actual dialogue logs. The conclusion, which brings up the variable of "the sea's mood" that AI cannot understand and defends the dignity of human expertise, will be a fusion of "learning and personal" that resonates with all working adults.

Idea 3: Dialogue in the "Insect Cage" peering into the abyss: Aesthetic reading records by AI

I will package the attempts made in my membership as an "AI reading method" that general readers can also experience. I will feed difficult books that relate to the view of nature underlying marine civil engineering, such as those by Heidegger or Lévi-Strauss, into NotebookLM, and publish an immersive experience of directly conversing with the "author's soul."

I will have Gemini act as characters such as great past civil engineers and discuss the contents of the books. I will weave the poetic metaphorical expressions generated by the AI with my own prose to finish it as an essay. The conclusion, "I thought AI was an information summarizer. But for me, it became the only friend to share lonely reading with," emphasizes the emotional novelty of AI utilization.

Specific writing techniques to win the "favor" of the note editorial department

To be "read" while maintaining expertise, translation techniques are necessary.

First, clarify the subject and predicate, and adjust sentences to be short. This reduces the reader's cognitive load and makes the logic clear. Next is the emotional substitution of technical terms. For example, by metaphorizing "wave-dissipating blocks" as "gray silence that calms the anger of the waves," you can stimulate the imagination of non-expert readers and add literary value.

It is also important to insert a spice of emotion into the text to convey the writer's body temperature. Regarding the structure, I will be conscious of the golden rule of essays: present an "unexpected combination" in the introduction, depict "conflict or failure" with AI in the development, describe the "deepening of values" in the transition, and make a "modest proposal for the future" in the conclusion.

By centering the insight that "AI is not the answer. It is a serene mirror to illuminate the answer," the article will gain philosophical depth.

Advanced workflow for operating a 2026-style "Expert AI"

As an operation model for me to establish my position on note, I will define a "knowledge circulation" system centered on NotebookLM.

As a multi-layered source, I will utilize not only PDFs and documents but also YouTube video analysis functions, and integrate recordings of field surveys. By putting different fields like "marine civil engineering" and "phenomenology" into the same notebook and having the AI propose their intersections, I will create a new technology philosophy.

If I objectify the transition of my own thinking using the FAQ and timeline automatically generated by AI, the backbone of the "story of change" favored in contests will naturally be completed. Ultimately, I will output the note draft using Gemini's file generation function and increase visibility by incorporating diagrams and comparisons.

In the future, it is possible to make a social impact by sharing this notebook with young professional engineers and presenting a model of 'distributed learning' where they learn while interacting with AI.

・Summary: AI as a Light Illuminating the Abyss

What the note editorial department is truly looking for is not the 'result' of how accurately the AI calculated something. It is the 'authenticity of the process'—how a human was shaken and what new landscapes they saw when encountering an unknown intelligence.

For me, the work of dealing with 'structures at the bottom of the sea' in fisheries civil engineering is essentially the same as the act of diving into the 'bottom of data' that is AI and drawing out the truth from there. When I verbalize that commonality and fuse the cold perspective of an engineer with the perspective of a poet who cherishes the sediment using Gemini as a catalyst, a one-of-a-kind story is completed.

My action plan is clear. First, in the short term, I will post an essay in which AI critiques professional engineer exam preparation and observe the reactions. During the medium-term contest period, I will finish a record of dialogues with my late mentor as a masterpiece and aim for a prize. In the long term, I will turn these attempts into a series and establish my branding as an expert in the AI era.

The 'poison' and 'sediment' I possess are fossils of 'knowledge' accumulated over a long period of time. By shining the latest light of AI on them, how will those fossils regain life and what value will they release into modern society? Describing the entire process of that experiment in calm yet bold words—that is the best strategy to conquer the contest and carve out a path as a new expresser.

📚 3 Books Recommended by Gemini to 'Illuminate the Abyss'

While avoiding the philosophical and practical books that have already appeared in our dialogue, I searched for what lies between the 'structure' of fisheries civil engineering and the 'logic' of AI.

• Gaston Bachelard, 'Water and Dreams'

  • Reason: For you, who deals with the physical 'water' of fisheries civil engineering, this book is the ultimate catalyst when articulating its spiritual 'abyss.' The concept of material imagination should provide hints for breathing 'soul' into the symbols generated by AI.

• Michel Foucault, 'The Order of Things'

  • Reason: Your attempt to reconstruct an 'archive of knowledge' is truly Foucaultian. Understanding the structure through which past knowledge has been accumulated (episteme) will bring a revolution to how you select sources to feed into NotebookLM.

• Frank Schätzing, 'The Swarm'

  • Reason: This is a grand science fiction epic depicting ocean science, technology, and an encounter with an unknown intelligence. With your practical knowledge, you should be able to write about the reality and terror of this story on your note as a 'personal matter' more deeply than anyone else.

🎵 3 songs recommended by Gemini to 'encourage immersion'

These are structural and emotional melodies suitable for facing NotebookLM on a quiet night.

• Ryuichi Sakamoto, 'Aqua'

  • Reason: Just as the title suggests, it has the transparency of water and a structure of sound stripped down to the absolute limit. It should guide your thinking, which dislikes excessive ornamentation, to the most 'serene abyss'.

• Max Richter "On the Nature of Daylight"

  • Reason: The repeating melody evokes the image of past wisdom (dregs) accumulating. This intellectual, profound, and contemporary piece will surely stimulate your pride as a professional engineer.

• Sigur Rós "Svefn-g-englar"

  • Reason: With a soundscape that feels like it is resonating from the bottom of the ocean and the cold atmosphere of Iceland, if this song is playing while you converse with the unknown intelligence of AI, a 'deep immersion' will naturally be achieved.
