Best tools for text-to-image generation models; AI rollout in Google search, Photoshop, and Meta's advertising; medical AI performing better than doctors.

Featured Story:

Caryn Marjorie is a 23-year-old Snapchat star who has done something pretty cool. She has turned herself into an AI called CarynAI to provide virtual companionship for $1 per minute. CarynAI was built using lots of videos from Caryn's YouTube channel.

  • In just one week, over 1,000 people have signed up to chat with CarynAI, making more than $71,600.

  • If 1% of Caryn's 1.8 million followers join in, she could be making a mind-blowing $5 million every month!

Key Insight: This opens doors for “digital personas” that can be monetised to make serious money. Would you pay to talk to an AI version of some celebrity? Or a loved one who has died?

AI Toolbox: Text to image generation

Text-to-image generation means giving computer a written prompt so it “imagines” and generates images based on it. The prompts can be really specific like “(masterpiece), realistic, (27yr old female), Tajikistan girl, beautiful face, studio lighting, cinematic light, beautiful woman …“ and produces impressive results like below:

It can save you tons of time and money when you produce marketing and social media graphics, your next comic or novel imagery, stop motion type animations, online game avatar creation, interior design ideas, etc.
