Better Late Than Never: How Google Muse Differs from Other Image Platforms

There have been several new text-to-image models developed recently that use deep learning techniques, like DALL-E-2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney.

Now, Google has come out with its own version called Muse.

Muse is a text-to-image model that uses something called a "Transformer" to generate images that are of very high quality. It works by taking the text embedding from a previously trained large language model and then training on a task where it has to predict masked image tokens.

Muse claims to be better than other models like Imagen and DALL-E 2 because it uses discrete tokens and doesn't need as many sample iterations. It can also generate zero-shot, mask-free edits for free by resampling image tokens based on a text prompt. If you want to learn more about Muse, you can check out the link provided for more information.

Google's LAMDA fails to impress: Is the hype overblown?

I finally got to try out LAMDA, Google's take on ChatGPT.

To be honest, I was really underwhelmed.

It just didn't seem very intuitive or special, and I'm not even sure if I was using it correctly. I can kind of see how it could be implemented into their search, but let's be real, Google isn't going to give up their ad revenue - which was over 209 billion in 2021. I get it, ads are a necessary evil, but when do they become too much? When do we draw the line and say enough is enough?

And what about ChatGPT?

It's going to have to turn a profit eventually. So why not just pay for a subscription instead of letting advertisers influence the output? I'm not sure where we go from here, but one thing's for sure: LAMDA isn't the answer.

My First AI Consulting Call

I can't believe the response to my AI musings - we're already approaching 500 subscribers! Thank you so much for your support. As a little thank you, I've set up a referral program with some cool swag, early access to things, special invites and more. You can find your referral link at the bottom of this email. Any help spreading the word is greatly appreciated.

Now for the fun stuff: I had my first AI consulting call today! A friend of mine, who's super successful in the Amazon space, reached out and asked for my advice on how he could incorporate AI into his business. It was awesome to have a high-level conversation with him, and I even pointed him towards an application called browse.ai that should help streamline and improve some of his processes. He's already taking action on my recommendations, and I'm checking in with him next week to see how things are going.

It got me thinking - should I offer this as a service to others? Whether it's AI or marketing, I feel confident that I can give anyone some advice on how to improve and evolve their business. What do you guys think?

Just Bing It: How Bing is Challenging Google With OpenAI Integration.

Bing has long been Googles baby step brother. Almost no one I know actually uses it for search. More and more lately, I’ve almost completely cut out google for daily searches and have strictly been using ChatGPT and Perplexity.

But it looks like Microsoft is getting ready to give Bing a little artificial intelligence boost with the help of OpenAI.

According to reports, the tech giant is planning to incorporate ChatGPT, a language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like text responses, into Bing in the hopes of catching up to (or maybe even surpassing) Google.

It's unclear exactly how this fancy AI technology will be used by Bing, but it's possible it could help present search results in a more friendly way, provide related queries, or suggest better keywords and key phrases.

Word on the street is that Microsoft could launch this AI integration as early as March, so we'll keep an eye out for more details. In the meantime, let's hope Bing is ready to step up its game and if they do, will every just be Binging it?

Prompt of the Day

*Educational Purposes Only*

This short story was created by ChatGPT using the prompt below.

The Prompt: Write a short story in the style of Grant Cardone set in a bear cave featuring Gary Vee

The Story:

Gary Vee was having a bad day. First, he'd spilled coffee all over his suit on the way to work. Then, his presentation had been a complete disaster. And now, to top it all off, he was stuck in a bear cave.

But Gary wasn't the type to give up easily. As he sat huddled in the corner of the cave, he started to formulate a plan. He knew he needed to keep his wits about him if he was going to make it out alive.

First, he reached for his phone and called his assistant. "Samantha," he said, "I need you to do me a favor. I'm stuck in a bear cave and I need you to call the authorities. And while you're at it, see if you can find a way to stream my rescue live on social media. I want to make the most of this opportunity."

Samantha was shocked, but she knew better than to argue with Gary. She quickly made the calls and started setting up the live stream.

As the minutes ticked by, Gary began pacing back and forth, mentally preparing for the showdown with the bear. He knew he had to stay calm and focused if he was going to come out on top.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the authorities arrived and tranquilized the bear. As Gary was led out of the cave, he couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph. He'd faced his fears and come out on top.

As he emerged into the daylight, he saw that the live stream had already gone viral. He couldn't wait to share the story of his bear cave showdown with the world. This was one adventure he'd never forget.

Seriously mind blowing stuff here. I’ll break it all down in a video for you later but this was too good not to share immediately. I’ll also explain how I established these prompts, how you can pull the tonality and personality from any author or newsletter and use it as a library of writers at your fingertips anytime you want. It was too much for one newsletter.

If you want the video, and an explanation of how this silly prompt led me down a rabbit hole of awesome discoveries, you’ll want to be a paid subscriber. If you don’t want to miss out on all the juice M-T, it’s only $18 for over 200 of these a year. I think that’s pretty dang fair.
