🤯 COOLEST THING
Generative AI progresses to mind reading

first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data.

The ChatGPT API has practically doubled the viable use-cases in education overnight 🤯
ChatGPT is great but it lacks interactivity and visuals (impt for learning!)
I built an app that allows ChatGPT to control an visual interface - in this case, an interactive IDE pic.twitter.com/lhbIDEsPAG— zack (@wenquai) March 2, 2023

It feels like many text-to-image platforms are merging into one common style
Now that the DALL-E has been successfully midjourneyfied, it is becoming apparent that instead of simulating all possible ›styles‹, AI is fostering the emergence of a distinct visual style, born out of popular aesthetic preferences dominating platforms like DeviantArt

People are using AI for their LinkedIn networking
One such platform is NetworkAI by Wonsulting, which allows you to connect with industry professionals using their automated AI networking tool.
Another option is GPT for Work, a plugin that works with Google Sheets and Google Docs.
You can use it to:
Clean lists
Generate tags, ad copy, taglines, titles, descriptions, outlines, blog posts and emails
Recap a meeting and summarize notes
Rephrase in perfect English
Not everybody is happy about AI being used in this way and it has generated some controversy.
