FYI, my creative collaborator on this cartoon was a new AI app, WebSim that leverages the power of Anthropic's Claude, the ChatGPT competitor discussed in last week's email. What have you created...

Special thanks to those of you who responded to my survey. The results are below. Education about video tools and tips is the clear winner. π Good to know! "Thank you" image imagined with Midjourney. Speaking of video tools, I check out more than my share of AI-enabled video apps. In this crowded field, Iβm impressed with Synthesia. More than a way to use text (or images) to create mind-bending generative AI video clips, Synthesia is a video platform with a clear vision and roadmap (unlike...

I find this image especially delightful because of the AI prompt that Heather Cooper used to co-create...
