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

Are AI influencers the future of marketing? I don’t know, but I spend a lot of time taking and editing amazing photos on my Instagram, and these AI beings have 1000x the engagement I get. That sucks.

I also find it hard to believe you would be willing to buy a product because an AI avatar says you should use it. But hey, humans are weird.

Midjourney upscaling is here, and it’s glorious! In the past, creating images in Midjourney meant 1080 × 1080 px that looked bad when you shared it online. Not anymore. You can now upscale 2-4x right inside Discord with Midjourney.

Which made it easy to upscale my Apple Store in the shape of an Apple that I made in Midjourney.

Try it for yourself! You will now see the option to upscale after you select which versions of your Midjourney creations you want to keep.

🔗 Nvidia and iPhone maker Foxconn to build 'AI factories'

My take: If Foxconn could help scale iPhone production into what it is today, imagine what it can do for Nvidia.

🔗 Will Your AI-Generated Images Be Traced? — Meta Introduces Invisible Watermarks

My take: Meta creates invisible watermarks for AI creations, and someone else will make software that removes invisible watermarks. FUN!

🔗 YouTube might make an official way to create AI Drake fakes

My take: Who is the first person to make an entire Taylor Swift Album performed by Drake? Eminem singing Baby Shark? How weird will it get?

🔗 AI Is About to Photoshop Your Memories

My take: This seems weird, but think about photos from iPhones from 10+ years ago. I would love to see clear versions of those images.

🔗 Meta chief AI scientist says AI won’t threaten humans

My take: Sure. They said the same thing in Terminator and everything turned out fine, didn’t it?

Every one of these apps can help you with your company, career, side hustle, or personal project. I recommend diving deep into them all.

 🔎 Google Bard does SEO for you.

SEO is complex, but Google’s AI does it for you and makes it simple. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than I could do it? No. Is it better than a non-marketing/SEO person could do it? Hell yes. The key to good SEO is good meta titles and descriptions for all website pages. Bard can do that for you.

Go to bard.google.com and use this prompt:

How would you rewrite the Meta Titles and Descriptions on this website for better SEO? [insert website URL here]

I used a local restaurant I like, and the results were definitely better than what they currently have! See below:

If you cannot afford a true SEO expert, you can at least use this for better results than what you currently have. Side note: there is so much more to SEO than just this.

🚶🏼 Walking is life.

Is anyone else tired of Zoom? Here is my secret: I walk my dogs during meetings 2-3 times a day and am much more productive during those walks. Here are some stats for you from real-life medical professionals:

• A 2023 study published in the journal Heart found that people who walked at least 4,000 steps per day had a 24% lower risk of death from all causes than those who walked fewer than 2,500 steps per day.

• A 2023 study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry found that walking for at least 30 minutes per day was associated with a 26% lower risk of developing depression.

So anyway—walk more.
