Lately, I have had a lot of fun playing around with image editing in #ChatGPT 1) Asked ChatGPT to create the image of Jony and Sam with my face on it 2) Pasted a screenshot of the announcement blog and asked to add the generated picture and different copy. Voila! #AI #ContentCreation #OpenAI

Remembering #Windows 95 and its famous "Safe to turn off computer" message. Turned to #Midjourney for recreating it (not bad). But not a replacement for the original. Found on #Reddit

My editing workflow for the @freshvanroot.com newsletter is too complex. The two-column layout drives up editing time, and starting out in #Obsidian, moving over to #Claude, and then finishing in #EmailOctopus... this needs to be simplified. #contentcreation freshvanroot.com

Spent the evening with an #AI experiment: 1) Created an AI video avatar #HeyGen 2) Turned a blog post into a video script with #Claude 3) Created the video (AI video avatar combined with script) 4) Added captions with Capsule video editor The result is quite good, but has clearly an "AI-feel" to it

In November, I used AI chat tools for nearly 8 hours. I use Rize.io for tracking this. That is not including Gemini, which is embedded in Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and also not including Midjourney and RunwayML, which I used a lot in November. These 8 hours are #ChatGPT and #Claude only.

This is a quick reminder that AI always has an opinion and changes the content you feed it, even if it already matches your desired quality. I just closed a chat session in #Claude using the same draft I initially uploaded because chatting with #AI did not improve anything. #genai

In a 12-minute #Claude session, I created a short blog post. Copied the result into AI detectors by Writer.com and scribbr.com. Result: 93% human-generated content vs 100% ai generated. The story here: 100% briefed by a human; it's my thoughts. And AI used words that trigger AI detectors. #AI

A hype any young product company is craving for.. .. Google missed this opportunity to ride the wave and keep the momentum going for Notebook LM. The only feature update I noticed was the option to prompt on which parts the audio conversation should focus on and adding support for more file types.
