💡 Discover the Power of AI: From Funny Mix-Ups to Notion's New Feature!

Howdy, folks! It's your resident AI aficionado, Jeff, back with another riveting issue of 'AI Curious'. This time, we're chatting about an Instagram chatbot with a personality makeover, supercharging productivity with Notion's AI Autofill, and hiring the best AIO writers with some stellar advice from Julia McCoy.

Let's dive right in with something funny!

Quick Note: As always, I don't have any affiliations with the tools or tech discussed. I'm just an AI geek sharing my love for innovative and exciting things.

AI's Baked Blunder: Muffins or Chihuahuas?

Welcome to the whimsical world of AI mix-ups! In a delightful twist of technology, our friend T. Scott Clendaniel highlighted a comical snafu in a recent LinkedIn post: AI confusing Chihuahuas and blueberry muffins.

Yes, you read that right. The same cutting-edge tech that can drive cars and beat chess masters can also mix up our breakfast with our furry friends. As it turns out, AI computer vision applications have trouble telling apart the spotted, brownish hues of a Chihuahua's coat from the tantalizingly baked top of a blueberry muffin.

While humans can easily tell our pets from our pastries, AI needs a bit more detail than "round and spotty" It's a hilarious yet instructive illustration of how far we've come - and how far we still have to go.

AIOs: The Future Wordsmiths for AI-Driven Content!

If you've ever found yourself tangled in the tricky terrain of hiring freelance writers, then you're in for a treat. This next piece is a game-changer, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

Julia McCoy, a renowned expert in content creation and President of Content at Scale, recently posted a masterclass on YouTube, that's more like a treasure chest for agencies in need of quality writers. It's all about AIOs. No, it's not a fancy type of bagel, but something even better. AIO stands for Artificial Intelligence Optimization Writers, and they are the next big thing in content creation!

So what's an AIO writer? In a nutshell, they are the human touch to AI's robotic draftsmanship. Imagine AI algorithms spinning out content drafts and a human writer swooping in to sprinkle the much-needed dash of personalization, creativity, and context. It's like having your cake and eating it too – you save a whopping seven hours per post while ensuring top-notch, relatable content.

Julia provides a ton of advice on finding and hiring these talented folks, from their qualifications to the ideal job listing, and even some insider tips on interviewing candidates. You won't miss out on this chance to revolutionize your content creation process.

Here's a link to Julia's AIO Writer Kit that she generously shares in her video - it's a treasure trove of resources for anyone seeking to optimize their content creation process.

So if you're on the hunt for quality writers who can straddle the AI-human divide, this video is a must-watch! 🖊️🤖🚀

Notion's New AI Showstopper: The Power of Autofill!

If you're a Notion fan like me, brace yourselves, because they've just supercharged their AI game. Notion recently unveiled their latest feature on Twitter, and I have to say, it's like they've just taken a shot of tech espresso!

They call it - drumroll please - AI Autofill! This new feature effortlessly integrates into your Notion databases, bringing the magic of AI right to your fingertips. Whether it's crafting concise summaries, extracting key points, or even running your bespoke prompts, Notion's AI is ready to take on the task, no matter how many pages it has to sift through.

Here's a taste of what you can do with these AI-enhanced custom prompts:

1. Transcribe and summarize customer calls with actionable insights.

2. Compile your top learnings, neatly listed in bullet points.

3. Generate to-do lists from meeting notes and, hold on to your hats, even translate them into Korean!

The best part? It's all in the familiar, user-friendly interface that we've come to know and love from Notion.

As someone who swears by Notion, I find this a real game-changer. Imagine running a feedback analysis project - you could quickly transcribe customer calls, extract key findings, and have your action points neatly laid out - all in one place! This can dramatically streamline your processes and amplify your productivity.

So, for all you Notion users out there, I'd say it's time to dive into this new AI Autofill feature and discover a whole new level of efficiency! 🚀💼🤖

Chatting Up a Storm: Instagram's New AI-Powered Chameleons!

Have you ever wished that the Instagram Direct Message (DM) you're drafting could get a little AI nudge? Well, the social media behemoth seems to be working on something that could have you doing a happy dance.

According to a recent Business Insider article, Instagram is apparently brewing a brand new AI chatbot. The chatbot could do the heavy lifting for you in DMs, answering queries, offering advice, and even helping you craft your messages. Now, how cool is that?

But the real kicker? This is not just a one-size-fits-all chatbot. Instagram is reportedly going to serve you a whopping 30 different personalities to choose from for your AI sidekick! That’s right, thirty! The aim is to provide innovative solutions to help users find the best way to express themselves.

Now, I know what you're thinking - "Didn't Snapchat try this and wasn't it a bit of a flop?" Yes, it did, and the reviews were mixed, to put it mildly. But let's give credit where it's due. Instagram, being part of the Meta universe, has a hefty AI pedigree to lean on, so we may be looking at a different ball game here.

The possibilities are mouth-watering, especially for businesses. Imagine feeding this AI with your customer support knowledge base. The chatbot could then autonomously handle support, potentially revolutionizing customer service on Instagram. It would be a game changer if it also syncs with Facebook.

Chatbots have been revolutionizing how brands interact with their customers. But with the infusion of AI, Instagram could be about to take this to a whole new level. I, for one, can't wait to see what they come up with! 🤖📱💬
