ChatGPT is cool and all, but my true AI love is Midjourney. I love having weird ideas pop into my head and bringing them to life instantly in the form of high-quality, almost too authentic images.

I recently made this (and I will be turning it into an AI video):

Prompt: a river formed lava flow from above, muted colors, cinematic contour lighting, low contrast ProLog, awardwinning composition, chromatic aberration --ar 4:5 --stylize 750 --v 6

Well, Midjourney is jumping into the video creation space. This is going to change so many things about how we create content.

🪀 Turn yourself into an Anime figurine

We’re all obsessed with ourselves, and seeing yourself as an anime figurine is even cooler. Well, per usual, there is a GPT for that.

First, go to this link (you must have a ChatGPT account).

Create a prompt. Here is mine:

This is Adam Greenbaum, a tech guy. Adam is holding an Apple Macbook in his right hand. Adam has very short blonde hair that is combed to the side and an orange beard. Blue eyes. Adam wears a black T-shirt and green joggers. Black running shoes. The Box Should say, "Adam Greenbaum." Adam has a half-sleeve tattoo on his right arm with ocean waves and an orange Koi fish. Adam's left arm has no tattoos. No other tattoos on his body.

The tattoo gets a little wacky, and my hair and beard are not even close to this cool, but here I am:

🛑 If it’s not a hard yes, it’s a no.

Don’t overthink shit. If it’s not a quick yes, it’s a no. This is for everything in life, by the way.
