A New Paradigm for Achieving Success with AI

Adults don't play.

This is sad. These thoughts passed through my mind as I watched a group of grown-ups chase one another around my daughter's high school band practice room. Several grown adults, primarily strangers, pretending to be different animals playing a game of tag in the character of an animal was the improv game that started this chain of thinking and has had me wondering about why we forgo the ability to embrace silliness and fun-for-the-sake-of-it once we become "adults." You can sign up for an improv class in your hometown to experience a moment of awareness like I did firsthand...

AI Safety Bites

Legitimize AI Citations by MIT

MIT researchers have developed SymGen, a tool designed to make verifying AI-generated responses easier and faster. SymGen allows large language models (LLMs) to generate responses with detailed citations that link directly to specific data sources, like database cells. This approach enables users to quickly validate the source of AI-generated content, enhancing trust in high-stakes applications like healthcare and finance by cutting down verification time by around 20%. SymGen is currently optimized for structured data and will soon support more diverse data formats.

AI Creative Applications

Spur Creativity with AI

TextFX, created by Lupe Fiasco in partnership with Google, offers writers innovative tools to explore text creatively. Built with MakerSuite and the PaLM API, TextFX isn't a rap-writing tool but aims to inspire and enhance various forms of creative writing. It introduces features for manipulating and viewing text uniquely, helping writers unlock new linguistic and lyrical possibilities.

This is a fun tool for exploring ideas, as are many of the tools available at ​​Google Labs​​. I think the user experience of these simple AI tools is more aligned with how users expect to engage with technology and prescriptive applications for targeted results; this reduces the learning curve and overwhelm often felt with generalist tools like ChatGPT.

Join the Waitlist to Test My App

TheFaceOfAI is an interface tool for AI. I am just getting started, but here are some of the ways you can work with AI through the app:

1. Design an empowering avatar as a reminder of how unstoppable you are.
2. Generate ideas for your personal or professional life with high-level specificity in a single prompt.
3. Generate perfect prompts you can reuse within TheFaceOfAI or elsewhere in other AI tools.
4. Learn about AI through the interactive learning tool, print, and share your lessons with your team.
5. Generate task-specific templates and getting-started documents for anything you can think of, then visualize the idea!
6. Change your thinking or flip it upside down. With TheFaceOfAI, you can work from images to text in your ideation process and flip back and forth, whatever works for you. The name of the game with AI is finding how you can leverage the power of this technology stack most beneficially. That may seem daunting, which is one of the reasons I built TheFaceOfAI.

In Julia Coit's and my workshop this week, our audience created empowering avatars for themselves. Here are some of the ones they shared after creating in TheFaceOfAI. The fruition of almost two years of exploration — conceived as an idea but only born now, my app is in private beta testing. Sign up to the waitlist below!
