The Future of Artificial Intelligence
Ben Tossell asked for AI predictions and got some interesting responses.
Including:
- AI inside Google Sheets
- Lots of spam and low quality content
- ChatGPT gets banned in schools
- A flood of artists will use AI tools
- Fully driverless cars become viable
One of those predictions was written by AI, btw 😜
My favorite prediction comes from Justin Brooke…
The future of AI isn’t big tools like Jasper, it’s all of us having our own personalized AI writers. Trained to write in our voice, for our niche, directly connected to our social profiles & CRMs.
Roko’s Basilisk: The Most Terrifying Thought Experiment?
Speaking of AI, there's something called Roko's Basilisk, which Slate refers to as "the most terrifying thought experiment of all time" 😱
As Rational Wiki describes it…
Its conclusion is that an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future might retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being.
Practical AI Newsletter
My favorite new newsletter is called Practical AI 💌
A FREE weekly newsletter about AI and its applications and implications on business for non-technical business professionals and managers.
Some cool stuff I found in the first few editions 👇
- 3 robot humanoid sisters, one of whom was granted citizenship by Saudi Arabia.
- This guy made a complete children's book using AI, and the world of writers and illustrators is pissed.
- Video: incredibly realistic Morgan Freeman deepfake...

Diving Into The Crazy New ChatGPT
Travis Jamison has a good write-up on the latest AI craze, with lots of impressive examples.
ChatGPT can write poetry, do your copywriting, provide recipes, replace your lawyer, find bugs in code, write new code, plan your PR campaign, and probably make an excellent toasted cheese sandwich 😜
And some folks are saying it's "the single biggest threat to Google Search."
I tested it out with a couple of questions related to making money online…
- What is the best way to make money online?
- How can I make $100 online today?
The answers I got back were surprisingly level-headed.
Making $1000s A Day With AI Avatars
Anthony Castrio highlights two AI projects that are taking off 🚀
- Avatar AI by Pieter Levels – $10,000 in first day
- ProfilePicture.ai by Danny Postma – $2000 in 12 hours
Both basically let you upload photos of yourself and then generate a bunch of avatars via artificial intelligence. Lots of examples at the links above.
Unfortunately, Pieter is “spending $8,000 per day on GPUs” to run his service 😱
Anthony suggests other AI projects like this that might have legs…
- Virtual clothes try on
- Preview hairstyles
- Insert yourself/friends into memes
- Next-gen school portraits/pet photography
Some chap named Nick took on the second idea and quickly launched HairstyleAI.com 👩🦰
That generated 23 sales at $5 a pop within a few hours. All the more impressive when you consider Nick has a tiny following on Twitter compared to Pieter and Danny.

Prepare to have your mind blown 🤯
Stable Diffusion is a new (free) AI tool that lets you generate images from simple text (or image) prompts.
For example: Bernie Sanders in a Mad Max movie that doesn’t exist
Even more amazing to me are the examples where very crude drawings were provided and the AI turned them into something 🔥
Such as…
The reddit post for the last one is titled, “It’s some kind of black magic I swear” 😈
There’s also a fascinating video of someone using the tool with Photoshop to create a sprawling landscape image featuring a very cute corgi.
Beginner’s guide here if you want to play around with the black magic yourself.

Impressive Copywriting Robot
A few AI-powered writing tools have come out since the dawn of GPT-3 last year 🤖
One of them is copy.ai, and there are some impressive demos for it on YouTube.
Here’s a copywriter running through 6 ways he uses the tool to generate ideas and speed up his work process…
