AI Ascension

I hope this email finds you well. By now you have surely heard of ChatGPT. It is apparently one of the fastest-spreading applications the world has ever known. ChatGPT is a powerful chatbot that uses the latest in natural language processing technology to have conversations with users. It is trained on vast amounts of data and can generate responses that are highly relevant and engaging. I am not sure how it will impact everything, but it will be significant! In fact, I have written the entire Loupe below this point using it with basic prompts (PROMPTS IN BLUE/MY EDITORIAL COMMENTS IN RED).

Write a paragraph reflecting on the year that has passed and looking forward to the new year.
Use Sarcasm.

As the year comes to a close and we're forced to reflect on the past twelve months, it's hard not to be overcome with a sense of relief that it's almost over. Let's be real, this year has been terrible, and we can't wait to put it behind us and start fresh in the new year. And while we're sure the new year will bring its own set of disasters and disappointments, at least it will be a fresh disaster and a new disappointment. So here's to looking forward to the new year and all the fresh horrors it will inevitably bring. Cheers!

Write a paragraph explaining the power of chatGPT

ChatGPT is a powerful chatbot that uses the latest in natural language processing technology to have conversations with users. It is trained on vast amounts of data and can generate responses that are highly relevant and engaging. This makes it an incredibly useful tool for businesses looking to improve customer service, as well as for individuals who want to have more interesting and engaging conversations. Additionally, ChatGPT is highly customizable, allowing users to fine-tune its responses and tailor its behavior to their specific needs. This makes it a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, from customer service and support to social media and marketing. Overall, the power of ChatGPT lies in its ability to generate human-like responses that are highly relevant and engaging.

This chatbot can do most anything, from writing a poem (even Haiku) for your mother's birthday, a Curb Your Enthusiasm script where you create a plot, or really anything. Basically, it is building a replicable model of the relationships that underpin meaning in human communication. In the case of this Loupe, I can be Editor rather than the writer, selecting topics and adding content as necessary.

LENSA
App

Write a paragraph about using AI for images.

Artificial intelligence can be used to create images in a variety of ways. One common approach is to use machine learning algorithms to generate images based on a set of input examples. This can be done using a technique called deep learning, which involves training a neural network on a large dataset of images and then using the trained network to generate new images. Another approach is to use AI to automatically modify or enhance existing images. For example, an AI system could be trained to add color to black and white photos, or to remove blemishes and improve the overall quality of an image. Overall, AI has the potential to greatly expand the capabilities of image generation and manipulation.

Of the many features, it allows you to create and edit images using AI. This includes creating avatars for whatever purpose (see above) or altering pictures. It can retouch your face, neck, and even eye bags; I wish I had known about Lensa before I went to the plastic surgeon!

Write a paragraph about synthesia the AI video creation platform

AI video creation is a fascinating field that is rapidly advancing and has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and consume videos. With the ability to analyze vast amounts of data and generate high-quality videos automatically, AI technology is enabling the creation of videos that are tailored to individual preferences and needs, and can be easily customized and updated. This has the potential to bring about a new era of personalized, dynamic, and engaging video content that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. The possibilities of what can be achieved with AI video creation are truly wondrous, and it will be exciting to see how this technology continues to evolve and be used in the future.

You can simply create videos by writing a script, choosing an avatar, selecting language/accent, and adding graphics as necessary. I easily and intuitively created the above How To video for Katana. I can imagine a future AI world without the necessity of actors/actresses.

FIVE MINUTE JOURNAL
App

Write a paragraph about a Five Minute Journal, an application that easily prompts users to write a daily journal documenting what they accomplished that day

The Five Minute Journal is a popular application that helps users easily keep a daily journal. The app is designed to be simple and straightforward, with prompts that guide users through the process of writing about their day. Each morning, the app prompts users to write down three things they are grateful for, three things that would make the day great, and a daily affirmation. In the evening, the app prompts users to reflect on three amazing things that happened that day and how they could have made the day even better. The app also includes additional features, such as the ability to track daily habits and set reminders to keep users on track with their journaling practice. Overall, the Five Minute Journal is a valuable tool for anyone looking to develop a daily journaling habit and reflect on their experiences and accomplishments.

Seeing as our memory is by no means a computer, we humans need to write things down. At year-end it is a great opportunity to look back so we can properly look forward.

AI is here, and we have to accept the good (efficiency) with the bad (displacement) and consider chatGPT, Lensa, Synthesia.io, and Five Minute Journal found!
