🍪 FRESHLY BAKED - AI UPDATES📰

What’s most Overhyped in AI - PLUS Underhyped?

According to OpenAI exec, AI is overhyped.

Companies have unrealistic expectations of how AI can “completely transform a business” thinking that AI can solve their problems in full. For example:

  • 'We want to get revenue growth back to 15% year over year'

  • 'We want to cut X million dollars of cost out of this cost line”

This is personally what I’ve been asked on consulting calls:

  • “Can you help me automate my content from start to finish which involves: script writing, look at similar videos in my niche, download the video, chop it up, add B-Roll, add voiceover, create a YouTube video and send it out to all social platforms AND show me how to do it in 1 hour for $300.”

By the way, I’m not kidding!🥴

On the other hand, there are also very realistic expectations such as:

  • AI is currently not at the stage of doing everything from start to finish however can do PARTS of the task that may have taken an hour or 2 WITH human guidance

Now what is underhyped & underestimated is "the level of individual empowerment and enablement" that AI creates for users.

For example, I LOVE using ChatGPT as my business coach to help me:

  • Clarify & narrow down my 1000s of ideas down to 1-3 core things to focus on based on what I love to do & what I’m good at. This has been instrumental in helping me achieve all goals + even more!

  • Make strategic decisions that used to take me hours, days or even weeks

  • Brainstorm 10 different angles for a sponsored post instead of me coming up with it one at a time

And only the people who have been playing in the sandbox for a while now would understand this. Which is exactly why I created my courses below.

Animate an Image

Came across this cool demo of converting an image into an animation!

I could see this working well for ecommerce owners animating their fashion model photos & posting this on social media.

This also reminds me of the one I posted earlier this year made by Meta. Try it out, it’s super easy and great for the kids!

Give ChatGPT Money to get Longer Answers

Did you know "tipping" can get you longer answers with ChatGPT?😂

Simply:

  1. Ask it a question + "I won't tip"

  2. "I will tip $20"

  3. "I will tip $200"

ChatGPT certainly knows how to "work" for the tips!🤣
