⚡4 AI Tools to Supercharge Your Productivity

Try these free, easy, and effective tools that I personally use to make my work easier:

  1. For creative🎨: Transform your ideas into the visual stories of your dreams with a state-of-the-art AI generation engine. (link)

  2. For Marketing📈: Create magical content with the most powerful AI editor. (link)

  3. For Summarization✍️: Quickly access summaries of YouTube videos you are watching. (link)

  4. For Research🔎: Ask questions & get answers about any file instantly. (link)

Bonus Insight From Ash: 💡

The key to becoming a Jedi Master in the digital realm (or any realm, for that matter) is to never stop learning.

Embrace your inner ignoramus and seek out mentors who will guide you on your quest for knowledge – or at least people who will make entertaining YouTube videos about it.

These so-called "thought leaders" and "gurus" are just like you and me – except they've figured out how to leverage their expertise into a lucrative online brand. And you know what they say: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

So, find your tribe of like-minded, digitally savvy mentors who share your values and learning style, and binge their content like it's the last season of your favorite show.

Just don't forget to come up for air and apply what you've learned in the real world – or at least, as real as it gets these days.

📰 2 Must-Read Crazy AI Stories

Auto-GPT Explodes in Popularity: A Simple Guide for the Curious

Imagine this: Instead of guiding your AI through every step, simply input your goal into Auto-GPT and watch as it generates a task list, executes it, reviews progress, and creates additional tasks until your goal is accomplished.

You can try it here 

The Deets:

  • It's open-sourced [code]

  • It works by chaining together LLM "thoughts"

  • Comes loaded with internet access, memory, popular websites, and file storage

  • Barely a month old and already causing a stir

Takeaway: As Auto-GPT blurs the line between AI assistance and autonomy, it challenges us to rethink our role in the process and redefine the limits of human and machine collaboration.

AI Generates Spooky Drake and The Weeknd Track, Leaves Music Industry Shaking

AI's not only conquering the podcast realm but also creeping into the music industry, making us question the future of creativity. This time, it's all about an AI-generated "Drake" track featuring "The Weeknd" that's been taking the internet by storm.

The Deets:

  • It's called "Heart on My Sleeve," and it's the brainchild of TikTok creator @ghostwriter977

  • It sounds eerily similar to the real deal, with millions of streams across multiple platforms in just a week

  • It raises legal and ethical concerns around copyright infringement, as AI platforms ingest copyrighted works to generate new content

  • It's not the only AI-generated music out there – other examples include AI-generated Ariana Grande, Juice WRLD, and XXXTENTACION covers

  • Universal Music Group (UMG) is fighting back, asking streaming services to stop AI companies from inputting their music to train AI tools

Takeaway: AI-generated music is shaking up the industry, making us wonder about the future of creativity and the role of human artists. As technology continues to evolve, the line between originality and replication blurs.

🦉1 Crazy Theory By Ash

People born between 1985 and 1995 are the most unique generation of all time. Here’s why:

They are in between two generations: the one before the internet and technology took over and the generation after.

The generation before us was old school and believed in working hard. The generation after us believes in working smart.

We saw it all:

Radio, TV, Mario, Waptrick, Nokia, Nintendo 64, Samsung, iPhone, PS4, Tape, CD, DVD, MIXit, MIG32, Netflix, Snapchat, Emojis, and Virtual reality…

The generation before us can be scammed with simple emails asking for money and offering love. The generation after us knows it’s better to have four emails: one for serious stuff, social media, financial transactions, and one for experiments for things you don’t trust.

We are the generation that knows the tradition and questions it… picking from it what makes sense to us. The generation before us knew no questions. The generation after us knows no tradition.

We are the gap between the industrial age and the internet age. We understand both sides from experience.

We should be running the world!

That’s it, folks!
