Personal letter from Nat

Hi Guys!

I wanted to thank you for joining my AI newsletter & for all your support.

But after 1.5 years, 35,000 awesome subscribers, 77 newsletter editions later..I’ve decided this will be the last AI newsletter I publish.

I have been thinking about it for a while now and I couldn’t figure out why I dreaded newsletter day so much (also my “snack day” where I inhale buttloads of chips & chocs lol I’m an emotional eater, maybe that’s why we have “AI Snacks”).

Anyway, I realised it was a combination of feeling like I’m not adding enough value and it wasn’t as impactful as I had hoped.

For example, collecting the latest AI news is what every other newsletter does and it kind of felt like we’re on a hamster wheel trying to play catch up.

I don’t want to be the 5th newsletter in your inbox reporting on exactly the same thing.

I also realised I was creating and building things that I “thought” people wanted.

For example, everyday I am asked if I have any in depth tutorials so I created AI + Automation Courses and also the FREE Automation Course where instead of a 100hr course, it’s just a 30min or 1hr course.

What was interesting to me was more people completed the free course than the people who paid (in theory, you would think it should be the other way around right?)

The newsletter was because everyone else was doing it at the time. But there was always that feeling that I wasn’t producing content that was uniquely me or proud of.

In all honesty, I’m still trying to figure this part out.

I had my glass shattered this week coming across some content that went super viral but it was (in my opinion) something I thought was basic knowledge like creating a social media calendar with ChatGPT. This was something I posted back in 2022 when ChatGPT first released along with many of the AI creators I follow.

I thought this was just an exception but recently I have been seeing a trend of super simple/basic AI tips/education which I thought everyone already knew.

My hypothesis is perhaps more people are starting to using it now (people who previously have heard of AI but never actually used it). I feel there may be a gap in my content where I could help more in simplifying AI.

In saying that, I have a feeling if I started posted more simple content, I might get scolded by you guys (you guys are the OG from way back 😛 ).

You’ll be glad to know you’re already ahead of so many by keeping up to date with AI!

By the way, this doesn’t mean I won’t be emailing you anymore. It may just be in a different format or value add.

Hence, I would love to bring more value to you guys so I would really love to hear what you want to see more of (button below).

Please be as detailed as you like (or not). I will personally be reading all of these to figure out what to bring you next 🙂

🧠 AI CREATORS’ CORNER 🍱

Adobe Unleashes Firefly Video Magic

Adobe teased us with the Firefly Video Model earlier this year, promising to significantly enhance its AI capabilities, specifically tailored for video production.

Finally, the Firefly Video Model is now integrated into Adobe Premiere Pro among the other Adobe AI tools.

What can it do?

  • AI-powered video generation from text, images, or clips

  • Features: text-to-video, image animation, and video extension

  • Creates realistic scenes, effects, and animations in Premiere Pro

Look how vivid and realistic it can create

This is made for Commercial Safety because Adobe has permission to use the content for training the model. It's still in beta, but it will be fully integrated later this year.

Here are some examples:
