Crazy New Generative AI Videos
See them in this Twitter thread 👈
Some look super-realistic, like the farm scenes in this video…
Others, like Duck Story, are incredibly trippy 🤪…
And this AI car commercial is dreamy… "Are you driving or dreaming?"…
Seems most of these are being made with Runway, which turns your text prompts into video. It's free to try and the Pro version is only $28/month.
👉 Here's an 11-minute tutorial showing how to use it…
If you have a product or service for sale, it could be fun to play around with Runway and get it to produce some promos for you. Post them on social, letting people know they're AI-generated.
Anything AI-related seems to have a good chance of going viral these days 🚀
You could also offer to do this for someone else's product or service.
Also, it looks like AI can now transform your thoughts into video via fMRI 🧠
One YouTuber comments…
The ability for artificial intelligence to read your thoughts is now here.
Scientists did an experiment where people would have their brain scanned while they were watching a video. The image on the right is the AI trying to decipher what exactly the person was watching.
The technology is getting so good that scientists are confident that we will soon be able to get video recordings of our dreams.
In the future, the best horror movies might just be a brain scan of someone's night terror 😱

Using ChatGPT to Build Simple Apps & Tools
If you wanted to build a simple tools site like HTML CSS Tools or RandomTools.io, how would you do it?
Two tweets that might give you some ideas 👇
There's a blog I need to check daily for new posts.
Doesn't have an RSS feed.
Was paying RSS.app $10/m to handle this for me.
Just spent 20 mins in @Replit with ChatGPT helping me build a python app to take care of this for nothing.
(He goes on to share his code.)
I just cancelled a $30 subscription for a scraper tool, because I built it myself with the help of ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is making it easier than ever to build simple tools and apps like this.
You could make a bunch of them, put them on a website, and monetize with display ads. Follow Joseph Maxim's playbook to build some links 🔗
Probably best to hyper focus on a niche for a website like this. I asked ChatGPT to come up with some unusual niches and it gave me some good jumping off points.
See my ChatGPT conversation and continue it yourself here 👀
One idea it came up with…
Pet-related Tools: Create tools and calculators for pet owners, such as a dog age calculator (converting human years to dog years), cat BMI calculator, snake tank size estimator, or hamster wheel speed calculator. These tools can cater to pet enthusiasts seeking specific information related to their beloved companions.
Obviously you'd need to do some competitor research before diving into anything like this, see if such a website already exists and (if so) how tough it would be to outrank 🧐
Also, creating a website like that and driving traffic to it takes time.
Once you get good at building apps and tools with ChatGPT, a quicker way to monetize would be to offer your services as a freelancer.

How To Start Creating With Artificial Intelligence
Ammaar Reshi has gone viral a few times in recent months due to his AI experiments 🤖
Check these out…
- Alice and Sparkle children's book, made in a weekend, earned $45 the first day but also prompted death threats 😱
- 8-minute interview with a dead president, made in 3 hours.
- Animated Batman short, made in 6 hours, 7 million views.
- World War 2 movie trailer, made in a weekend, using AI text-to-video.
Creator Economy has an interview with Ammaar where they ask…
It's great that you built this reputation without needing some machine learning PhD. You simply used the tools to create stuff.
Ammaar replied…
Exactly. And that’s what makes this space so special—anyone can jump in and pick up these tools. Your imagination is the limit.
He goes on to share the 3-step process he uses to create with AI…
1. Pick a use case: e.g., Children’s book.
2. Break down the steps: e.g., Story, illustration, publishing.
3. Find the right tool for each step. e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Amazon.
Ammaar has more tips and examples in this Twitter thread 👈

RIP Graphic Designers?
Paul Couvert has been playing around with Microsoft's AI tools 🤖 and tweets…
RIP graphic designers?
AI can create a logo in seconds.
Here is how to create any logo for free using AI:
He goes on to show some impressive examples, and steps through how to create your own.
I believe you need to be using the Microsoft Edge browser to access Bing's AI chat features.
But if you have a Microsoft account you can use their image generation AI at bing.com/create
And for the record, I don't believe tools like this will replace graphic designers, but it definitely changes the game.
It reminds me of how WordPress changed the game for web designers many years ago. WordPress came along and made it easy for non-web designers to create beautiful and functional websites.
That didn't replace web designers, but it did replace some of their tasks. Smart web designers saw that as an opportunity to focus on more complex projects – stuff that WordPress alone couldn't do – and charge more for their work.
I suspect we'll see similar happening with graphic design and AI tools.

Clever Approach To Affiliate Marketing
Authority Hacker recently announced a new free tool/website called BrandSnap.ai.
7-minute video about it here 👀…
The blurb on ProductHunt…
BrandSnap.ai simplifies the challenge of finding the perfect brand name by seamlessly generating ideal domains, verifying trademark availability, and securing corresponding social media handles, saving you time and effort in your branding journey.
The tool has done pretty well on ProductHunt, with 160 upvotes as of this writing 📈
Try it out for yourself and you can see how naturally they've included affiliate links in the results the tool generates.
For example, I tried this prompt…
A website that reviews lawnmowers.
It comes back with a bunch of domain recommendations, and the "buy" button alongside each domain is an affiliate link to Namecheap.com.
I love useful tools like that that can be monetized so naturally via affiliate marketing 🤑
Could you build a useful tool for your audience that could be monetized in a similar way?
How To Start An Automation Consulting Business
I've featured some automation consultants in this newsletter before…
- Sami Abid: $6K/Month Automation Manager
- Andrew Davison: $6500/Month Helping People Use Zapier
Now with ChatGPT so powerful and readily available, I reckon there's more opportunity than ever to succeed with this kind of business.
In a 19-minute video Sam Matla breaks down exactly how to build an automation consulting business 😎…
From Sam's tweet thread on the same topic…
You can learn this skill in a week and it requires zero money down.
I guarantee that 50%+ of the small businesses in your town have a bunch of manual SOPs that can be completely automated.
Example: every time a potential customer makes an inquiry, the admin assistant manually puts their details into 3 different spreadsheets. [...]
Your pitch?
"I'll automate a bunch of your back-end tasks and processes. If it doesn't save you and your team 5+ hours per week (average client saves 12.5 hours per week), then you don't pay and I'll refund your deposit."
I love businesses like this where the skills you develop can be used to make money right away as a freelancer, and also to build a higher-level business down the line.
Web design was that skill for me. I made a living as a freelance web designer for many years, and now I run my own website full-time 🥳
