The Elephant in the Room? "AI Imposter Syndrome".

Hi friends

Are you secretly wondering if you're the only one feeling lost in the world of AI?

Take a deep breath – you're not alone.

This week, we're tackling the elephant in the room: AI Impostor Syndrome. It's that nagging feeling that everyone else has AI figured out while you're still trying to understand what ChatGPT can actually do for you.

Over decades, AI has evolved from rules-based to 'thinking' or generative models and applications. The advent of what I call 'Consumer AI' means we now have tools you can get your hands on, play with, and shape - zero tech experience required.

If you can hold a conversation, you can work with multi-modal, Generative AI tools enabling you to:

• Write copiously ✍️ 

• Generate art and music 🎵 

• Create code 🖥️ 

• Make videos 🎬️ 

• Crunch data 🔢 

• Design flow charts 💹 

• Formulate plans 📆 

• Communicate in multiple languages 🗺️ 

• And so much more …

Here's the truth: everyone, apart from those at the tip of the AI spear, is on this learning journey together.

You're not late to the AI party. You're right on time. 

And you’re not an imposter. You’re a pioneer :)

Establishing AI Authority takes effort and application. What doesn't? So focus on building it one step, one project, one 'aha' moment at a time.

AI SMORGASBORD

Could AI Save Your Pet’s Life? This surgery in the UK is one of a growing number of veterinary practices that use AI to speed up the diagnosis of illnesses in animals.

‘One of the most disgusting meals I’ve ever eaten’: Can you stomach a recipe written by a robot? (I say don’t blame the AI, blame the ‘prompter’ 🍽️ )

‘Enough is enough’: Hollywood’s video game actors go on strike. Voice actors and motion capture performers to strike over AI protections after nearly two years of negotiations

AI MADE EASY

Performance appraisals are part of most professionals’ lives. Whether you’re reviewing employees, contractors, or even suppliers, AI can lend a hand.

Note: I made this video a while back, and the avatar now seems clunky. It’s a reminder of how far avatar and voice technology have come in the last few months. See earlier newsletters for demos of more advanced avatars including streaming digital twins.

THROUGH A-EYES

I recently wrote an ebook about the incredible synergy between Adult ADHD and Generative AI. I’ll be sharing it in next week’s newsletter, but I thought some of the book’s illustrations were worth showcasing separately, as they are rather lovely. All are generated by MidJourney.

PS: Don’t ever let the wonder of this pass you by. A few words, and voila! Beautiful, evocative images appear, as if by magic.
