Huge announcements in the world of AI today from Adobe, Elon Musk, the NBA, and Meta.

Here's a rundown on everything you need to know:
1. Adobe adds Firefly to video editing

Edit videos using simple text commands, plus:

-AI color corrections/enhancements
-Animated text and motion graphics generation
-Matching B-roll footage
-Music and sound effects
-Auto-generated storyboards
Unlike other AI image generation tools, Firefly uses Adobe's own stock images, ensuring it won't infringe on other creators' existing work.
2. Elon Musk reveals TruthGPT

In a recent interview, Elon Musk said he will start a maximum truth-seeking AI called ‘TruthGPT.’

The AI will try to understand the nature of the universe.
This comes just three weeks after Musk signed an Open Letter calling for a pause on AI developments more powerful than GPT-4.
Elon also responded to a tweet asking why he hasn't sued OpenAI for defrauding him with "Wait for it..."

It seems a war has just started between Elon Musk and OpenAI.
3. ChatGPT got featured in a new NBA commercial with Jack Harlow

ChatGPT has gone mainstream, fast.
4. Meta AI released DINOv2

An image recognition model used to enhance computer vision by accurately identifying individual objects within images and video frames.
Meta's recent collaboration with the World Resources Institute utilized DINOv2 to map forests on a tree-by-tree basis across vast areas.
I'll be going a little more in-depth on the news in tomorrow's newsletter.

I'm shocked how many people still don't know how to prompt ChatGPT properly.

Here are 5 free resources that will make you a prompt engineering expert:
1. Snackprompt

This is like Reddit + Product Hunt for the best prompts.

Best prompts are chosen based on user votes- the easiest way to find new prompt gems IMO.

snackprompt.com
2. Learn Prompting

A Free, Open Source Course on Communicating with AI.

They also have a massive Discord community of others learning how to prompt.

Search is never going to be the same.

Google just revealed Project 'Magi,' their new AI search engine.

Here's everything you need to know:
Google has 160 engineers working on this project.

It will have a chat-like interface, similar to ChatGPT.

Google is replacing the old-school method of displaying 10 results per page with an intelligent chatbot that provides instant answers.
Transactions will start happening on Google search.

For example, you will be able to book a flight directly via Google search.

Why go to Expedia if you can book everything directly all in one spot?

This will integrate nicely with Google Pay.

The pace of AI continues to amaze me.

It's a full-time job, and I can still barely keep up.

Here's a rundown of the top 5 biggest events in AI last week:
1. Elon created a new AI company called "X AI."

This comes ~3 weeks after he signed an Open Letter to pause AI developments more powerful than GPT-4.

Reports that Twitter also bought 10,000 GPUs and is recruiting AI researchers.

2. AutoGPT continues to improve rapidly.

It allows AI "agents" to operate automatically on their own and complete tasks for you.

Access it within the browser: godmode.space

ChatGPT is insanely powerful.

But only if you write proper prompts.

Here are the most useful ChatGPT prompt techniques (all new):

A thread 🧵
1. Generate responses table format.

Super easy to do- yet I still get a ton of questions on how to do it.

Prompt: “Create a table for top AI tools. Include the following columns: Name, Category, and Oneliner. Here are the Tools that I want to summarize: [tools]” Image
2. Simulate an expert.

You can get ChatGPT to become an expert in a given subject.

Then, you can engage in conversation or request it to produce content from the perspective of that specific character.

I'm surprised how many people don't know how to use ChatGPT on their phones properly.

Here are 5 ways to use ChatGPT on your phone to maximize productivity:
1. Replace Siri with ChatGPT with @mckaywrigley's "Hey GPT"

It completely destroys Siri in every way.

Install the extension, enter your OpenAI API key, add it to home, and tell it what you want.

@mckaywrigley 2. Use ChatGPT and DALL-E 2 through text messaging with TextGPT.

Get answers to questions, and generate images from text.
