🎥 AI on the screen

OpenAI announced an official prompt guide last week. If you don’t want to read about it, watch real examples below:

Video takeaways:

  1. Providing more context helps it give better, more relevant answers.

  2. Ask ChatGPT to adopt a persona or specific tone to tailor its responses. For example, ask it to respond like a friendly scientist.

  3. Break down complex tasks into simpler sub-tasks or steps.

  4. Systematically test changes to your prompts to determine which phrasing gives the best results. Save improved prompts for reuse.

  5. Make use of reference texts when prompting to have ChatGPT cite its sources or ensure its answers relate specifically to the provided information.

Prompting tip: Drawing Prompt

I must be on a prompting kick this week because I came across Drawing Prompt and I’m obsessed. It turns a simple phrase into a super-specific art prompt.

⭐️ Question: Can AI help me with 2024 New Year’s Resolutions?

 Answer: Yes!

TBH, I don’t love “New Year’s Resolutions” but moreover like to take this time of year to reset and ask myself if I’m closer to becoming the vision of the person I want to be. A lot of that includes eating more whole foods and increasing how often I work out, so I found some AI tools to help:

🫶 AI for Good

Son Uses AI to Give Mom Priceless Christmas Gift from Late Father

  • Philip Willett used AI technology to recreate his late father's voice for a Christmas video gift to his mother.

  • ElevenLabs, a software company developing natural-sounding speech synthesis using AI, was used to match his father's tone and cadence perfectly.

  • In the video, the AI voice greets Willett's mom, tells her he loves her, hears her prayers, and says he's always with her. It brought her to tears.

  • I know this technology raises ethical concerns, like putting words in the mouths of the deceased. It reminds me of a bad actor example from earlier this month when AI mixed with celebrities on Cameo was used as Russian propaganda.

TLDR: This video will make you sob like a baby and remind you that AI does indeed bring good into the world.

I hope you’re finding time to reflect on all the good that happened in 2023.

👯 For Those Curious About the Labor Force

Are you looking for a new job? Curious about what the future of AI looks like in marketing-specific roles? I liked this article from WSJ, below are some takeaways:

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: ISTOCK

  1. Coca-Cola is the only large company that has created an AI org chart, having appointed a global head of generative AI and a global head of marketing AI.

  2. Reasons for the lack of new AI roles include brands taking a cautious approach to integrating AI in a risk-averse way, determining guardrails, and avoiding hype before fully adopting the tools.

  3. Interest is rising among job seekers for marketing roles involving AI, with LinkedIn data showing a 60% increase in views.

  4. Total views for marketing job listings that mentioned AI grew 14% faster than views for marketing jobs that didn’t.

  5. Whether dedicated AI jobs emerge as a lasting category or get integrated across all marketing roles, brands are still in the early stages of figuring out the best uses for AI in marketing. So major org chart changes may still be coming.

Here are some awesome open positions in the AI space that I would love to see one of our readers fill:

Definition: Machine Learning

This subset of AI is particularly focused on developing algorithms that will help machines to learn and change in response to new data, without the help of a human being.
