Book recommendation: "Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer" by Roy Peter Clark***Join Better Writers - https://fabiocerpelloni.com/private/
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.”
Real Life: Devon would like to make one thing clear: queso is fine. Queso is acceptable. Just… not on everything, okay? Some of us still want to taste the actual food under the goo. That said, he did just survive a kid's pool party, so maybe he's earned the right to eat whatever the hell he wants — even fake grass, which he claims is "for winners." We're choosing not to dig into that statement. Steven, meanwhile, embraced the full Force of May 4th with joy, lightsabers, and an animated binge of Tales of the Empire — now fully released and featuring everyone's favorite dead-or-maybe-not-dead villainess Asaaj Ventress and the cowboy space bug bounty hunter Cad Bane. Is she still canonically dead? Who knows anymore. The rule is: if you didn't see the body dissolve, they can always come back. Also, Steven's forge is officially up and running. That's right — he's now a blacksmith. We're still waiting to see if this is a long-term thing or just a midlife crisis in steel-toed boots. Over in The Last of Us land, Season 2 Episode 4 dropped, and fans collectively screamed, cried, and probably tweeted GIFs because one of the game's most beloved scenes finally made it to screen — and yes, they nailed it. In a good way. Not like a fungal-mutant-jaw-through-your-neck way. Ben went to a roller derby bout in Irvine (report: chaotic and excellent), wandered the capitalist labyrinth that is Daiso, and wants to remind you it's Teacher Appreciation Week. So tell a teacher they rock, preferably with coffee, snacks, or a handwritten note of pure gratitude. Future or Now Ben brought us Writing Tools, a sleek, free, open-source app created by a high school student in Bangalore (hi, Jesai!) that gives Mac, Windows, and Linux users a system-wide writing boost via AI. It fixes grammar, summarizes content, and even helps you rewrite your angsty emails into something that won't get you fired. Bonus points for working offline and being featured basically everywhere. Teachers, students, chaotic creatives — check it out on GitHub. This also led us down the rabbit hole: Are LLMs bad? Short answer: not inherently. Long answer: come back next week for a full debate, complete with Devon's skeptical eyebrows and Ben's tech optimism. Devon watched Mickey 17, and the verdict is… “eh?” He appreciated the weirdness but didn't feel like the weird ever came together in a satisfying way. Unlike Parasite, which he still recommends, Mickey 17 left him shrugging with existential confusion, which is not his preferred flavor of sci-fi. Steven hit us with some mouse science: researchers have engineered gut bacteria that can detoxify methylmercury in mice, even when those mice are on a diet of bluefin tuna. The mice — and their babies — showed fewer signs of mercury poisoning. This means your sushi habit may one day come with a side of helpful microbes. Until then, maybe cool it on the sashimi. Book Club: This week, we read A Brief Dance to the Music of the Spheres by Michael Kurland (from The Best of Omni Science Fiction, 1983). It's a sleek, sharp short story that offers a fresh take on the Fermi Paradox: if there's intelligent life out there, why haven't we seen it? The story gives us a possible answer — one we won't spoil here, except to say it involves jazz, physics, and a little cosmic humility. You can read it on Archive.org or listen to the adaptation here. Next week: we're diving into Jorge Luis Borges' There Are More Things. Yes, it's a Borges horror story. Yes, we're terrified and delighted. Yes, Devon has thoughts. Got thoughts on queso, metal mice, or fictional villains who refuse to stay dead? Hit us up. And thank a teacher. Seriously. They've seen some things.

In a world where A.I. can write all of the words for free, what is a copywriter to do? What tools should they adopt and how should they approach artificial intelligence? I invited Petter Magnusson, the creator of PurposeWrite, to join me on The Copywriter Club Podcast to discuss these questions and talk through how copywriters can use tools like his to serve our clients better. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript. Stuff to check out: Petter on LinkedIn PurposeWrite (sign up for a free trial) The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: It's been three years since ChatGPT launched and changed the world. So what does A.I. mean for copywriting today? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. When OpenA.I. released the first version of ChatGPT to the public, what had been a quiet conversation about artificial intelligence happening mostly behind the scenes suddenly burst into our collective consciousness. Writers and creators in particular were suddenly aware that at least at some level, these large language models could do some of the work we were being hired to do. Many of us dove into these tools to see what they could do. We launched a short-lived podcast that talked about how A.I. was impacting so many different ways of working, certainly within marketing, but also in many other industries. You can find the 20+ episodes of that podcast on The Copywriter Club website. Since that time, the dust has settled a bit. The A.I. tools have gotten a bit better. Image creation tools are significantly better. Writing tools have also improved, but it remains true today that the best copywriters seem to be able to use them to get the best outputs… if you want good copy, copy that captures attention and converts readers into buyers, it helps a lot to have a copywriter guide the inputs and rework the outputs you get from the A.I. model of your choice. Another thing we've seen in over the past couple of years is that while tools like ChatGPT and Claude get most of the headlines, lots of other tools have added components of artificial intelligence to improve their products, speed up useage, and make applications more sticky. At the same time we've seen the launch of job-specific A.I. tools that do one thing… like writing emails, or writing articles at speeds humans simply can't match. So when it comes to A.I., where are we headed next? What tools will we be using to get better results? And how helpful is it to have a user or prompt engineer or copywriter who really knows what they're doing versus just playing around to see what they can get a model to do? I asked Petter Magnusson, the developer of PurposeWrite to talk a bit about A.I., the tool he's built, and also the broader environment of artificial intelligence and where he sees us going from here. And because whatever happens with A.I. will have a big impact on copywriters, this is a topic I may come back to in the coming weeks. This whole industry is fascinating. The speed of change is a bit scary. During our conversation, I had a realization. In the past copywriters charged for the things we delivered… the words. Officially we sold blog posts or sales pages or emails or some other copy, but it was the words that clients expected to get. But now that ChatGPT can produce the words pretty much for free, we need to move up the value chain and sell the process, the strategy, the analysis, and the ideas. And bringing that to the A.I. model you use will make the outputs there so much better. Any way… I think this is a discussion you'll enjoy. Before we get to my interview with Petter, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. Unless you are hitting the 30 second skip button when you get to this point of the show, you are no doubt familiar with The Copywriter Underground. I talk about it every week. The Underground includes more than 70 different workshops—an...

Nvidia's GTC 2025 event showcased significant advancements in AI hardware and robotics, including the powerful Blackwell Ultra chip and the Isaac GR00T N1 foundation model for humanoid robots like 'Blue', developed with Disney and Google. Legal developments saw a US court ruling against copyright for purely AI-generated art, potentially influencing intellectual property laws. Various companies announced new AI models, such as Mistral AI's open-source model outperforming GPT-4o Mini, and Google's enhanced Gemini with coding and writing tools. Applications of AI are expanding, with Japan exploring AI for elderly care, a Californian oyster farm using AI for optimisation, and Arizona's Supreme Court implementing AI avatars for legal guidance. Concerns around data privacy were raised regarding Amazon's AI-enhanced Alexa requiring access to all voice recordings.

Co-hosts Mark Thompson and Steve Little share their predictions for artificial intelligence developments in 2025, with a special focus on how these changes will affect genealogists and family historians.They explore the emergence of AI agents, the shift to running language models locally on personal devices, and the introduction of chatbots to social media platforms. Mark and Steve also discuss how AI writing tools will become mainstream, even as costs decrease and capabilities increase.Their predictions include both opportunities and challenges, examining which tools may thrive and which may disappoint in the coming year. They conclude with "anti-predictions" – capabilities that, despite high hopes, probably won't materialize in 2025.Timestamps:What We Can Look Forward to In 202501:02 AI Agents: The Next Big Thing08:06 Local Language Models: Improved Privacy and Security13:09 Social Media Chatbots: Coming to Your Groups18:24 AI Writing Tools: The New Normal24:16 AI Costs: Dropping Fast30:43 The AI Horse Race: Who Will Lead?Anti-Predictions: What Won't Happen in 202536:01 Handwritten Text Recognition40:21 AI Generated Family Trees and Diagrams44:06 Generated Text in ImagesResource Links:Using Claude for 'Computer Use' Tasks https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/computer-useOpenAI's Operator Agent https://openai.com/index/introducing-operator/Facebook's New AI Tool for Groups https://aigenealogyinsights.com/2024/10/22/exploring-facebooks-new-ai-tool-for-groups/What to Know About DeepSeek and How It Is Upending A.I. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/technology/what-is-deepseek-china-ai.htmlTrump's $500B Stargate AI Initiative https://www.forbes.com/sites/ronshevlin/2025/01/23/trumps-ai-push-understanding-the-500-billion-stargate-initiative/Tags:artificial intelligence, technology, genealogy, family history, AI predictions, AI agents, local AI, social media, chatbots, AI writing, language models, OpenAI, DeepSeek, privacy, security, AI costs, machine learning, computer automation, research tools, future technology

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to film director and podcaster: Damien Swaby. It's question time. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy. Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, I dive into the importance of daily routines and how they can shape our creative processes. I always ask my guests about their beginning of the day routines, and it's fascinating to hear the variety of answers. For me, I don't have a strict morning routine, but I do find peace in the mornings, which I cherish. Many people swear by their routines, whether it's a quick workout or a moment of meditation, but I've found that my creativity often flows better later in the day. One of the key takeaways from this conversation is the discipline of writing. I emphasize the importance of writing a page a day. This practice not only helps in completing drafts faster but also enhances the overall quality of the work. I've learned that when you commit to writing daily, you often exceed that goal, leading to more fulfilling and enjoyable writing sessions. It's a discipline that can transform your creative output. We also discuss the tools I use for screenwriting, like Celtx, which I find invaluable for organizing my thoughts and communicating effectively with my team. The right software can make a significant difference in how we present our stories and collaborate with others in the filmmaking process. Additionally, I touch on the importance of understanding language and linguistics, which can greatly aid in character development. By exploring how language works, we can create more authentic and relatable characters in our scripts. As we wrap up, I share my current interests in music and television, including my newfound appreciation for shows like Grey's Anatomy and The Penguin. These experiences remind me of the value of revisiting the past while also embracing new narratives. If you're looking to enhance your creative process, I encourage you to find your own daily routine that works for you, whether it's writing, reading, or simply taking time to reflect. Remember, the journey of creativity is unique to each of us, and finding what inspires you is key to unlocking your potential.

Apple today announced the release of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, introducing a brand-new set of Apple Intelligence features that will elevate users' experience with iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and builds on the Today, Apple Intelligence also begins language expansion with localised English support for Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K., giving even more users around the world powerful new ways to use their iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Additional languages, including Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, will be coming throughout the year, with an initial set arriving in a software update in April. Design Fun, Original Images with Image Playground The Image Playground experience allows users to easily create fun and unique images with concepts like themes, costumes, accessories, and places. Users can add their own text descriptions, and can even create images in the likeness of a family member or friend using photos from their photo library. Image Playground generates images in distinct styles, including Animation - a modern, 3D-animated look - and Illustration, which offers images with simple shapes, clear lines, and colour blocking. The experience is integrated right into Messages, making it easier than ever to create images for conversations, as well as into apps like Freeform, Keynote, and many others. Image Playground is also available as a brand-new dedicated app. Create Genmoji to Fit Any Moment With the power of Apple Intelligence, emoji is taken to the next level with Genmoji, making conversations with family and friends more fun and playful, and opening up entirely new ways to communicate. By simply typing a description into the emoji keyboard, a Genmoji will appear, including multiple options to choose from. With images from their photo library, users can take Genmoji even further by creating one that is inspired by a friend or family member. Personalised Genmoji can be customised with accessories, like a hat or sunglasses, and can reflect themes or activities to make them even more personal and unique. Just like emoji, Genmoji can be added inline to messages, or shared as a sticker or reaction in a Tapback.1 Take Notes to the Next Level with Image Wand The Notes app gets new tools to make note-taking more visual and dynamic. With Image Wand in the tool palette, users can quickly create images in their note using the written or visual context already captured within the note. Image Wand transforms a rough sketch into a polished image by simply circling it. Users can even circle empty space within a note, and Image Wand will gather context from the surrounding area - using on-device generative models to analyse the handwritten or typed text - to create a relevant image that complements the note and makes it more visual. Users can create images with the Animation, Illustration, and an additional Sketch style in Image Wand. Describe Changes in Writing Tools Writing Tools build on the existing options of Rewrite, Proofread, and Summarise with the new ability for users to specify the change they'd like to make, using the new Describe Your Change option. Describe Your Change gives users even more flexibility and control when they'd like to make their writing sound more expressive, such as to add more dynamic action words to their resume or even rewrite a dinner party invitation in the form of a poem, and more. Just like all of the features with Writing Tools, this new Describe Your Change option is available systemwide across Apple and many third-party apps. Learn More About Surroundings in One Click with Visual Intelligence A new visual intelligence experience builds on Apple Intelligence and helps users learn about objects and places instantly, thanks to the new Camera Control on the iPhone 16 lineup. Visual intelligence can summarise and copy text, translate text between languages, detect ...

Plus Meta Is Building Their Own AI Search Engine Like this? Get AIDAILY, delivered to your inbox, every weekday. Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.us AI-Powered Christmas Classic Gets Spanish Makeover Universal Music Group and SoundLabs unveiled “Noche Buena y Navidad,” a Spanish AI adaptation of Brenda Lee's 1958 hit "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." Using AI from SoundLabs' MicDrop, vocals from Chilean singer Leyla Hoyle were transformed to resemble 13-year-old Lee's original voice. Lee, now 79, authorized the release, embracing the new version as a way to introduce the song to a broader audience. This project highlights the music industry's dual strategy of embracing AI innovation while safeguarding artists' rights. Universal Music Partners with Klay for 'Ethical' AI Music Model Universal Music Group has teamed up with Klay Vision to develop KLayMM, an AI model for music generation. The partnership aims to build ethical generative AI tools that respect copyrights and artist rights. Klay claims the next revolutionary music creators will use their AI, enhancing both creativity and monetization opportunities. Meta Developing AI-Powered Search Engine to Reduce Reliance on Google and Bing Meta is reportedly building an AI search engine to offer conversational summaries of recent events through its chatbot, integrated with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. This move aligns with trends from rivals like OpenAI and Apple, which are also pursuing proprietary search tools. Meta aims to regain a foothold in news content through partnerships, such as its recent Reuters collaboration. Apple Intelligence Launch Falls Short of Expectations Apple has introduced Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, featuring AI-powered Writing Tools, Siri enhancements, and natural language photo search. However, early reviewers criticized the rollout, citing minimal impact and technical issues, including a waitlist for access. Apple plans further AI features by December. The Fine Line Between AI Hallucinations and Creativity AI creativity may rely on the same mechanisms that cause AI hallucinations—incorrect outputs based on overgeneralization or mismatched contexts. While efforts are underway to minimize hallucinations, experts caution this could risk diminishing AI's creative potential. The tradeoff may be managed through parameter adjustments like temperature settings, influencing creativity without sacrificing factual accuracy

Benjamin and Chance spend most of the episode discussing iOS 18.1 with the debut of the first Apple Intelligence beta. That includes the new Writing Tools, notification summaries and Reduce Interruptions focus mode. It also features a new design for Siri, but lacks most of the new Siri functionality set to come later, which seems like an unenforced error. And in Happy Hour Plus, the duo reflect on their favorite podcast player apps, in light of the recently overhauled Overcast launch. Join at 9to5mac.com/join.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's unusual iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 betas that introduce Apple Intelligence for the first time. The beta versions currently available are exclusive to developers, providing them with a first hands-on look at Apple Intelligence. Apple continues to beta test iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15 separately. One of the most prominent aspects of Apple Intelligence is its Writing Tools, which allow users to proofread text for spelling and grammar errors and rewrite content to change its tone. Users can also summarize any text, creating paragraphs, lists, or tables, which are accessible anywhere text input is possible across the operating system. The revamped version of Siri is another key feature of Apple Intelligence. The voice assistant now boasts a new design with a glowing edge around the display when activated, indicating when Siri is listening. There is also a Type to Siri option, which allows users to interact with Siri via text instead of voice commands. Siri has been enhanced to maintain context between requests and follow along if the user stumbles over words. Additionally, Siri can now answer a wide range of questions about Apple devices, leveraging Apple's extensive product knowledge and support database. Apple has indicated that these additional features will be rolled out progressively throughout 2024 and 2025. The current Apple Intelligence beta is limited to U.S. English and is not accessible to developers in the European Union or China. Apple Intelligence is supported by the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, all Apple silicon iPads, and all Apple silicon Macs. The public will have access to the first Apple Intelligence features upon the official release of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 later this year. The MacRumors Show has its own YouTube channel, so make sure you're subscribed to keep up with new episodes and clips:
