We hit the big 2-0-0! In this milestone episode, we tackle one of the biggest questions in tech: Does using AI make us less intelligent, or are we just getting smarter about what skills to prioritize?From ancient philosopher Plato's concerns about writing to modern fears about cognitive offloading, we explore why every major technological shift faces the same "dumbing down" arguments. Spoiler: We think the real question isn't whether AI makes us dumber, but whether we're using it thoughtfully.Plus, Josh demonstrates how to create consistent, professional-looking graphics, characters, and assets using ChatGPT's image generation - no design skills required! Watch as we build a complete anime-style tank scene in real-time.For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.Want to build your business like we have?

Gonzalo E. Mon When Apple announced the iPhone 16 last year, it advertised that it would be “the first iPhone built for Apple Intelligence.” Apple touted several AI features and advertised that Apple Intelligence is “Available Now.” In reality, some features – including Priority Notifications, Image Generation, and the ChatGPT integration into Siri and Writing Tools – were not available at the time of launch. A disclosure at the bottom of the Apple Intelligence page explained: “Some features will become available in software updates in the coming months.”

What's a sports car without fuel? Pretty useless – just like machine learning models without data, says CISPA researcher Antoni Kowalczuk. That's why AI models scrape the internet for that sweet, sweet training data – pictures in the case of image generation models. And sometimes, they (allegedly) ignore copyright laws in the process. So how can we tell if copyrighted or even sensitive data has made it into these models? Antoni's research tackles exactly that – and why that's not just a copyright issue, but a serious privacy concern.
OpenAI's new o3 model feels almost criminal to use. Google is legit giving away its Gemini AI for free to millions. And Microsoft legit released an AI agent that can use a computer. Sheesh. Week after week, the pace of AI innovation is getting harder and harder to keep up with. Don't worry. We do that for you.

OpenAI's servers melted down as it opened up ChatGPT 4o Image Generation to everyone… and then nerfed it hard. Thankfully, their new raise of $40 BILLION DOLLARS will help. We dive deeper into all the cool ways people are using it (and aren't able to use it any more) along with news about OpenAI Academy & how GPT-4.5 beat the Turing Test. Then Runway Gen-4 is here and it's VERY good, OmniHuman-1 does AI lip sync right, Meta's new Hypernova AR glasses are revealed, Anthropic takes on the black box of AI & we take another deep dive at AI Big Booty Bears (not really).

This week's episode dives into the rapidly evolving world of AI, starting with a hands-on look at OpenAI's impressive new image generation model. We explore its capabilities, from creative design prompts to potentially problematic real-world applications. The big question: can it finally dethrone Midjourney as the king of AI image creation? We share personal impressions and discuss how this technology is already impacting workflows, as highlighted by @realEstateTrent's experience generating concept designs for real estate development. It's another example of AI getting us 80% of the way there, offering powerful assistance rather than complete solutions, a point echoed by @forgebitz and @businessbarista regarding the current state of LLMs.Beyond images, we touch on the broader AI landscape, drawing parallels between the current excitement around LLM-based chatbots and the internet browser and search engine wars of the early 2000s. Just as NVDA is the hot hardware of today, Cisco was the essential infrastructure of that era. We also examine the trend of "AI-powered" everything, with insights from @gregisenberg on the success of niche, outcome-focused AI applications. We also acknowledge the creative potential of AI, exemplified by @PJaccetturo's recent experiment using AI to reimagine the "Lord of the Rings" trailer in the style of Studio Ghibli, showcasing the dedication and resources being invested in exploring these new artistic avenues. Finally, we briefly touch on the advancements in AI video generation, referencing @EMostaque's thought-provoking question, and the ongoing competition within the tech giants.Links:Midjourney Survey: https://midjourney.typeform.com/to/FMT23xWj@realEstateTrent: https://x.com/realEstateTrent@forgebitz: https://x.com/forgebitz@businessbarista: https://x.com/businessbarista@gregisenberg: https://x.com/gregisenberg@EMostaque: https://x.com/EMostaque@PJaccetturo: https://x.com/PJaccetturo
Join me as I chat with Jacob Posel where he explains his viral method for creating professional ads using ChatGPT 4o and reference images. Jacob demonstrates that effective ad creation with AI relies more on providing quality inspiration images than complex prompting. The episode includes four example ads and two live demonstrations, showcasing how marketers can experiment with different audiences and styles at scale to improve conversion rates.Timestamps:• 00:00 - Intro• 02:01 - Best practices and the importance of inspiration images• 05:52 - Using Reference Images vs. No Reference • 09:07 - Exploring Sora for Prompt Inspiration• 13:33 - Another example of reference image + product image• 16:20 - More Ad Examples (Ridge Wallet)• 18:14 - More Ad Examples (Replit)• 19:12 - Where to find Ad inspiration• 20:00 - Live Ad Creation for LCA• 33:37 - Ad Concept Development for LCA• 37:37 - Finalizing the Ad and Next StepsKey Points:• Jacob Posel demonstrates how to create high-quality ads in minutes using ChatGPT, focusing on using reference images rather than complex prompts• The process involves providing inspiration ads and product images to ChatGPT, which can then generate customized, conversion-ready advertisements• Using well-known brands requires less specific prompting as the AI already understands them, while lesser-known products need more reference images• The speakers demonstrate live ad creation for Late Checkout Agency (LCA), showing the iterative process and prompt refinement techniques1) The Secret to Great AI-Generated AdsForget complex prompting - the REAL magic is in your reference images!Jacob revealed: "The important thing in creating good ads are the inspiration images and product images that you provide."ChatGPT understands intent better than other AI image tools.2) The Simple FrameworkHere's the basic formula Jacob uses:• Find an inspiration ad you like• Add your product image• Give simple instructions• Let ChatGPT work its magicThe model is SMART enough to understand what you want without elaborate prompts.3) When to Use Reference Images vs. When Not ToKEY INSIGHT: ChatGPT already knows popular brands!"It knows Nike, Adidas, Ridge wallets really well," Jacob explains.For well-known brands: Simple prompts work fineFor newer/smaller brands: ALWAYS provide reference imagesThis saves you tons of time!4) Pro Tip: Where to Find Ad InspirationJacob's go-to sources for ad inspiration:• Creative OS• Foreplay• IconThese tools pull from Meta's ad library and make it searchable.Finding the right reference ad is HALF the battle!5) The Hidden Goldmine Nobody's Talking AboutALPHA ALERT: Check out Sora's explore page!"This is a piece of alpha that people do not know about right now," Jacob revealed.It shows you the EXACT prompts people used for successful images.Perfect for learning how to prompt effectively!6) Crucial Prompting TipsIf your first attempt isn't perfect:• DON'T continue in the same chat• Start a fresh conversation• Make adjustments to your prompt there"You generally get through a cycle of worse and worse rather than improving" if you keep going in the same chat.7) Real-World Example: The LCA AdWe created a luxury-style ad for Greg's innovation agency in real-time!Process:1.

How much of it is copyright, and how much of this is violated? The debates about what is copyright and what is copyleft. With AI-generated images becoming more advanced, what does it mean for artists, digital advertising, and even companies like Google? Will AI-generated content disrupt ad revenue? What happens to creators whose work is used to train these models? In this episode, our host Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talks about OpenAI's image generator, the shifting landscape of content ownership, and the rise of "ethical AI" as a marketing term. Are we entering an era of "AI washing," much like we saw with cloud and greenwashing? Companies are pushing responsible AI, but how much of it is genuine, and how much is just marketing? Switching gears, we talk about Xiaomi's latest flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, a phone that bucks the AI trend by doubling down on camera technology. The device features a Leica-powered 200MP camera and comes with a dedicated camera grip and attachments to enhance the photography experience. But in a world where AI is dominating smartphone innovation, is a top-tier camera enough? Would you buy a phone that is ordinary in every other way but has an extraordinary camera? We debate the practicality of such a device—how it fits into real-world usage, whether its hardware is as durable as traditional DSLRs, and if losing or damaging a smartphone with such an advanced camera would be more of a liability than a benefit. We also touch on Bill Gates' recent statement that AI will replace most human jobs—except for biologists and energy researchers. Why these two fields? We break down whether AI is truly incapable of advancing in these areas without human intervention or if Gates' statement oversimplifies the situation. Learn more about your ad choices.

How AI Image Generation Hurt Artists. More than economically. Episode 037: January 25, 2025 It's take me awhile to formulate my thoughts and how to communication them to the world of non-artists, especially those who think art is “a job” no differently be being a cashier. And there is a lot of earned bitterness by the art community who have been habitually attacked by the same public who couldn't live with the entertainment or learn without our messages. In fact, it's those exact people frustrated at having to deal with artists to “make their buck” that spent billions of dollars developing the software to steal artists works. And at the gallery, the average person is already very confused over what is AI images and what isn't - even accusing me of using it on works that have been out of well over a decade. Please join me, listen, and interact with the art community to understand the real cost of this technology.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes guest Neal Davies, a former computer science professor and nuclear engineering PhD, currently working at the Urbit Foundation. Their conversation covers a range of intriguing topics including the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet from the 19th century, Neal's experiences balancing generalist and specialist roles, and the influence of AI in both his work and the world at large. Neal also shares his insights on syntax, symbols, and the cultural shifts that have shaped modern consciousness. You can connect with Neal on Twitter @Sigilante or find him on Urbit as @Lagravnokvap.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:19 Exploring the Deseret Alphabet04:02 Challenges and Rewards of Being a Generalist06:47 Impact of AI on Generalism and Specialization08:24 AI in Code and Image Generation13:43 Salvador Dali's Paranoiac Critical Method17:18 Symbolism in Art and Language20:49 The Spiritual Connection with Language30:05 Greek Influence on Language and Zero32:59 Exploring Number Systems35:10 Rational Numbers and Greek Innovations38:12 The Evolution of Linguistic Systems40:29 Cultural Shifts: 1870s to 1960s45:46 The Impact of the 1960s on Modern Thought49:58 The Role of Illegible Spaces in Innovation56:11 Concluding Thoughts and Future DirectionsKey Insights1-Deseret Alphabet as a Cultural and Linguistic Experiment: Neal Davies is deeply fascinated by the 19th-century Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet created to help immigrants in Utah become literate. Its unique structure and religious origins present a profound example of how language can be intentionally shaped to serve a community, although this project ultimately didn't gain widespread adoption.2-Balancing Generalism and Specialization: Neal shares his personal journey of pursuing generalist roles while maintaining expertise in specific fields like computer science and nuclear engineering. He emphasizes the value of broad, diverse knowledge in a world that often rewards specialization. His approach allows for flexibility and creativity in problem-solving, despite the professional challenges generalists may face in a society focused on specialization.3-AI as a Tool for Productivity, Not Replacement: Neal highlights the utility of AI in his work, particularly in code generation and ideation. He discusses how tools like GitHub's Copilot act as force multipliers for developers, offering a starting point that saves time without replacing the critical thinking required for final implementation. AI is seen as a support system for creativity, especially in programming and image generation.4-Syntax and Symbols as Catalysts for Thought: Neal discusses the profound relationship between syntax, symbols, and thought. By exploring different symbol systems, such as mathematical notation or alphabets like Deseret, he argues that they can unlock new ways of thinking. Symbol systems not only shape reasoning but allow people to build layers of understanding and explore more complex ideas.5-Cultural Experimentation and Enclaves: Reflecting on the importance of high variance in human endeavor, Neal supports creating enclaves of culture and thought outside the mainstream. He argues that monoculture, driven by surveillance and conformity, limits the ability to think freely and explore novel solutions. Platforms like Urbit, which emphasize privacy and decentralized communication, provide a space for communities to experiment and innovate without being surveilled or controlled.6-The Failure and Legacy of the 1960s Counterculture: Neal suggests that the cultural revolution of the 1960s was an ambitious attempt at societal transformation that ultimately failed. Co-opted by commercialism, politics, and other forces, the movement couldn't fully realize its vision of reshaping consciousness. However, it planted seeds for future cultural shifts, much like the influence of the Romanticists in the 19th century.7-The Importance of Illegibility in Innovation: Neal explains that true freedom in innovation comes from creating spaces where ideas and communities can evolve without constant oversight. He draws a parallel to Hemingway's theory that the unseen parts of a story are as important as the visible ones. Similarly, innovation flourishes when parts of a system or community remain illegible and unobserved, allowing for creativity and growth beyond the constraints of external control.
