📰 2 Must-Read AI Stories

🤯 AI -Avatars Are Getting Crazier! How this might affect everything?

HeyGen just revealed the 2.0 version of their AI-generated avatar clones, and it’s so realistic, you can’t even notice a trace or shadow of AI. If Runway Gen 2 and Synthesia has already made you say WTF, this one will make you say OMG! 😱

Deets:

• In a recent announcement, the founder himself, Joshua Xu, boasted of a demo of him cloned 100% by AI, which shows the new capability of the AI to perfectly mimic voices, accents, cadence...everything.

• An upgrade that is more massive than any other AI-generated avatar video tool.

• It cloned the founder's unique voice and accent in just 2 minutes flat!

• The result was so authentic that it sounded indistinguishable from the real founder. (If I didn't know better, I'd think it was actually him speaking.)

• It was so realistic that 95% of people probably couldn't tell it apart from the real thing.

Key takeaway: This level of mimicry raises concerns around trust as videos and voices can be faked convincingly, making it harder to trust online content. However, it also presents opportunities to expand creativity and self-expression through personalized avatars. It’s hard to balance good and bad. 🤷‍♂️

🤖 Google reportedly building A.I. that offers life advice

Google's AI unit, DeepMind, is using generative AI to develop 21 different tools for life advice, planning, and tutoring and has contracted with Scale AI to test the tools.

Deets:

• It is currently under test and examination to see if the tools can offer relationship advice or help users answer intimate questions.

• Though they made it clear that these tools are not intended for therapeutic use, and Google's Bard chatbot only provides mental health support resources.

• Although there are understandable concerns about the risks of applying AI in medical and therapeutic settings, Google ensures that it actively works with partners to thoroughly evaluate their AI research and products, promoting safety and helpfulness.

Takeaway: For those hesitant to open up about personal struggles, AI life advisors could provide a judgment-free space to safely explore inner turmoil. If thoughtfully designed with proper safeguards, such tools may allow people to privately process difficulties and find solutions, improving mental health. While risks exist, responsible AI development could empower the vulnerable and isolated to take first steps toward living fuller, healthier lives.

🦉 1 Insight from Ash

I use AI not just to help with business tasks but to explore my own thinking. It's a mirror reflecting back my ideas, devoid of judgment, bias, or personal interest. But don't be fooled: AI doesn't "care" about you; it doesn't even know you.

Take Google's DeepMind. It's on the brink of becoming a digital guru, potentially aiding in our personal lives. But here's the twist: its very lack of understanding, its inability to feel, might be its greatest asset.

Consider this: AI doesn't judge you for bingeing Netflix until 3 AM, or for having a messy relationship. Its indifference could make it an ideal listener, an unbiased mirror reflecting your thoughts and ideas.

But therein lies the paradox. AI's very strength—its lack of bias—can also be its profound weakness. It can't understand your joy, your pain, your unique human experience. It can assist, but never empathize.

This isn't a battle between man and machine, but a delicate dance, a collaboration. Use AI for its unbiased reflections, its unwavering support, its tireless work ethic. But know its limits. Understand that the human connection—empathy, understanding, a shared laugh—is something AI will never replicate.

Remember: AI is a tool, not a friend. It's here to aid, not to replace. Let it help you see yourself clearly, but don't lose yourself in its reflection. When the night is dark, and Netflix beckons at 3 AM, sometimes you need a human friend, not an algorithm, to tell you it's time to hit the sack.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, questions, or ideas. Don't hesitate to hit 'Reply' and share your insights with me!

Have an awesome week!

Your friend,

Ash

5 ChatGPT Prompts To Implement The 4-Hour Workweek In Your Business

The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss highlights strategies for working smarter, not harder. With AI assistants like ChatGPT, you can now automate many business tasks to gain more time, freedom and mobility for yourself!

1. Perform a Pareto Analysis: Use a detailed prompt to have ChatGPT analyze your business tasks and identify the 20% of high-impact activities that drive 80% of your desired outcomes. Focus your time and energy on those vital tasks.

2. Define "New Rich" Lifestyle: Ask ChatGPT to review your personal goals, values and ideal experiences. Then have it suggest a customized definition of the "new rich" lifestyle for you and propose potential mini-retirements that align with your vision.

3. Delegate, Automate, Eliminate (DEAL): Provide ChatGPT with specifics on your revenue goals, business model and current workload. Prompt it to analyze and recommend tasks that could be delegated to others, automated through tools/systems or eliminated entirely to free up more time.

4. Cultivate Selective Ignorance: Give ChatGPT details on distractions, unnecessary meetings, interruptions etc. Ask it to suggest productive filters/habits to limit low-value information and protect mental focus.

5. Create Email Autoresponder: Share common email topics/questions you receive with ChatGPT. Have it craft a friendly, concise auto-responder message directing senders to self-serve resources instead of relying on your direct reply.
