My AI Journey – Part 1

Well I might say this a lot at the start of any or all of my AI Posts/Articles and that is… there is still some doubt or suspicion when it comes to what A.I is, but mainly I think it’s more along the lines of what it can become, if we let it. But that’s for another discussion..

But let’s not jump too far ahead and instead concentrate on what A.I is offering us at the moment.

The Fact is, you’ve more than likely been using AI either knowingly or not for some time yourself.

I’ve been tinkering with A.I for a little while now and have advanced beyond asking chatGPT what this weeks winning lotto numbers will be… Oh hang on I still need to do that…

But seriously, the tools that are currently available are Absolutely Incredible (Yes I will be making lots of AI Words that I’ve taken some time to come up all on my lonesome – I don’t think AI is ready for my strange imagination quite yet). In fact they are Amazingly Inspirational and I mean that in a nice way.

So I mean that one of the biggest hurdles us “lone” marketers have, without having someone to bounce ideas off, is coming up with something more than just an idea. If you can ask someone along the lines of

“Hey I have this idea on trying to help out someone completely new to Internet Marketing. What would to suggest I tell them”

So what can you do with this?

Well the answer to that question is, how good is your imagination?

A demo speaks a trillion words, and saves me writing them…

So I had this crazy thought about a youtube short, so I put this together. And it’s the first time I have used it to do this and while it doesn’t quite hit the mark, from the marketing point of view, just the fact I could create it is Amazing, Isn’t it?  Don’t worry I internally moaned a little after writing it.

I got chatGPT to make the images ( I am using the upgraded version but it’s hooked into Dall-e as a part of openai.com )

I also got chatGPT to create the script cause I was feeling lazy..

Then I used CapCut ( the Free Version ) to put it together. This is more manual but you have more control over it. But I didn’t know that you could get a little speaking person added in. Granted that the AI Voice has a few quirks in pronouncing “affiliate” for instance but maybe better than seeing me and hearing my old aussie accent.

So this took about 2 hours from “Hmmmm can I…” to “Well that’s different let’s publish the blighter”

Here is the Link the nice lady was talking about!

It’s like anything in regards to finding out what is available, then what you can do, then doing it… And it’s the doing part that will let you gain the most from these tools.

So while it allows you to be Faceless, because let’s face it, being in front of a camera can be daunting. In my case, more for you having to watch me …BUT I do have some misgivings in that it’s very simple for lots of people to simply churn out content that will cause the viewer to think “Oh no not another AI thing…” Where is the humanity?

But used correctly, so that it’s informative and useful, then I am all for it. Like anything, it can be abused or used for the purpose it was intended for.

And that is allowing more people to gain access to tools that will allow them to interact with others in an entertaining and educational manner.

The Ole Writers Block Or Freeze

AI can be very helpful in cases where you sit down at your PC and having your Internal Director cry out “ACTION!!!!!”… and the brain freezes with fingers poised over the keyboard…

When creating videos the ole fashioned way, teleprompters are handy and you can get chatGPT to create your video scripts, but there is a fear they are a little robotic (but you can overcome that by having ChatGPT learn how you speak – stay tuned on that one).

Personally, I like to free flow a little, so just having notes are a must so you don’t loose track… but that’s another story too.

The same applies to any content. Accessing Interesting content, to engage someone, even if that’s yourself is a Big Boon.

So writers Block is now a thing of the past. That is, if it’s used correctly.
