(Read time: five minutes) - Fun fact: I never change this.

I recently wrote about the significant changes coming to Google Search, including AI Overview at the top of the SERP, which gives you an answer without clicking a link. As someone who does SEO for work, I don’t love that. But here we are.

If you have not seen AI Overview yet, it looks like this:

We do know that this was trained with Reddit content, and the early results are terrible. Here are a few examples that are being shared across the internet.

Cool Tech: Canva’s Revamped AI Tools

Last week, the Canva Create conference was held in Los Angeles and solidified Canva as one of the best design tools on Earth (and a favorite of mine). At the event, Canva showcased some very cool AI tools that you should know about.

• Magic Media: Our leading image and video generating tool can now also generate the perfect graphic. Whether you need icons, stickers, or illustrations, simply describe what you want and watch your words transform into beautiful graphics in Magic Media.

• Magic Write: The same high-quality copy, now with personalization. Magic Write can now generate text using your unique tone of voice to get your message across with words that sound just like you, or your brand. Just upload a sample, and with a click, Magic Write will generate text that matches.

• Magic Design: Experience an upgraded Magic Design, powered by leading generative AI technology. Now, you can expect to generate higher-quality templates every time, and do less editing or retouching to get it right.

• Photo editor: Canva’s AI-powered photo editor now gives you even more control over your images. Use Magic Grab to effortlessly select any element within your photo to move, remove, or replace it – just like you’re editing a Canva template. Once you’ve got the perfect shot, use Mockups to analyze your image and transform it into a mockup template.

• Video editor: Canva’s video editor now has more AI-powered features to help you create and edit videos no one will want to skip. Use the Highlights tool's AI technology to capture the best parts of your videos and generate short engaging clips, or remove background noise with Enhance voice.

Today’s Tip: Use AI To Find Out When You’ll Be Replaced By AI

ChatGPT 4o is incredibly intuitive, and I decided to test it. So I told it what I do for work and asked when I would be replaced. I got a real answer with an actual date!

Prompt:

I am a Global Chief Marketing Officer for a software company that provides a full solution for veterinary clinics to streamline their business. My team handles out entire global GTM strategy. Tell me how and when AI will replace me. Give me a date based on the current trajectory of AI technology growth.
