The Road to the Ultimate Creative Assistant

AI is a broad term. After many years in the field, we like to break it down based on the book “The Master Algorithm”, which presents different types of AI as tribes on the road to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

🤖 AGI is the ultimate AI with a general understanding, like a master chef, blending different AI ingredients to cook something extraordinary for each new customer.

It’s expected that AGI will integrate all current AI tribes:

🧠 Symbolists strictly use logic and rules, like recipes, for clear input-output pairings but with low real-time adaptability to new conditions.

🌐 Connectionists mimic the brain with neural networks and deep learning, using maximum abstraction to leverage similarity between known concepts.

🌿 Evolutionaries iteratively perfect creations using mutation and natural selection, ideal for discovering innovative solutions.

🎲 Bayesians focus on learned probabilities to make educated guesses for trend predictions and their likelihood.

🔍 Analogizers find patterns in populations, using categorical thinking for actionable recommendations for a specific customer group.

It’s hard to tell when AGI will become a reality, but until then, we recommend using the tribes that best fit your content needs. Don’t wait!

Format Like a Pro with ChatGPT

Ever felt limited by plain text? Let ChatGPT format to your wishes and transform your text into visually appealing content.

Here’s a quick guide to make your messages stand out:

Use Markdown

1. Headings: Add structure with # for titles, ## for subtitles, and so on. Example: # Heading 1, ## Heading 2, ### Heading 3.

2. Bold Text: Highlight important words with ** or __, e.g. **Bold Text** or __Bold Text__.

3. Blockquotes: Emphasize quotes or important messages with >, e.g. > This is a quote..

4. Lists: Organize your thoughts with 1. 2. 3., dashes -, asterisks *, or plus signs + .

5. Links: Make text clickable with [] for text and () for a URL, e.g. [OpenAI](https://www.openai.com).

6. Images: Add ![Alt Text](Image URL)..

7. Tables: Organize data in tables using | for columns and - for rows.

Beyond text

1. Prompts or Code: Share your prompts or code within `single backticks` for inline or ```triple backticks``` for blocks.

2. Emojis: Yes, ChatGPT can use emojis - just ask for it. 😊

3. CSV and JSON: ChatGPT can output in CSV and JSON, perfect for structured data needs.

Use these tips to query ChatGPT and format your outputs, making your posts clearer and more engaging. Start formatting like a pro today!

Stylize your Selfies

Want to stylize your selfies? Here’s a quick way to do it in Midjourney* 👇

Step 1. Upload your Selfie in the chat with the Midjourney Bot.

Step 2. Click image → Open in browser → Copy URL.

Step 3. Use the URL of your selfie in the below prompt.

[Your Selfie URL here] animated --niji 5 --stylize 750 --style expressive

💡About the parameters:

• --niji — an anime-focused model version of Midjourney

• --stylize — controls how artistic the output is

• --style — can select a model sub-version, in this case “expressive”

Step 4. Iterate a few times to get the result you like.
