🤖 Hey botified nation!

Here’s a fun AI fact I bet you didn’t know.

Did you know that you can make AI drunk?

Researchers found that by introducing noise into neural networks—kind of like spiking an AI’s digital punch bowl—they can make AI systems behave erratically, similar to how alcohol affects human cognition.

Now, while we won't be making any AIs tipsy today, we are going to talk about an AI tool that's so powerful, it might just make your content creation process feel like magic.

So grab your favorite beverage (no judgment here), and let's dive into a secret that's about to revolutionize how you approach social media.

AI in everyday life

Repurpose YouTube & Twitch Videos As Reels, Shorts, and TikToks

Big social media creators want to keep this a secret but **beep** that.

This hack involves a new AI tool called Framedrop that converts long-form YouTube and Twitch content into just about any short-form content.

Reels, Shorts, TikToks, you name it.

Imagine scrolling through the latest viral sensation on social media and being able to repackage that golden content into something uniquely yours. You’ve now bypassed hours of brainstorming, recording, editing, and everything in between.

Here’s how it works:

1. Head to app.framedrop.ai and sign up for an account.

2. Once you’ve entered the code sent to you, you’ll be redirected to your dashboard. Notice that you only have a 1-hour credit for talking videos and a 4-hour credit for game videos. This means you can only download videos that are that long.

   

3. Enter a video URL or upload your video file. A pop-up like this should show up.
   

   

4. Choose ‘Get Clips’ to let Framedrop’s AI automatically generate clips of your video’s key points. Then select the type of video you’ve entered: ‘Talking Video’ for YouTube videos and ‘Gameplay Video’ for Twitch videos.

5. Framedrop will render your video and come up with topics related to what’s being discussed in the clip. If you’re posting the extracted clips to social media, these can be used as hashtags. It will also ask you to set your video clip’s orientation layout.
   

   

6. Select all the clips you want to repurpose and Click the Edit & export button. You’ll have to select an orientation layout to resize and reposition the clip, and then click the Trim button to proceed.

   

7. Drag the slider on the ends of the highlighted part of the video to shorten or lengthen your clip. Then click the Subtitles button to proceed.

   

8. You now have the option to generate subtitles for your video clip in any language you prefer. If you’re sharing the clip with a specific audience group, you can choose a local language from the drop-down and Framedrop AI will transcribe and translate the video for you.

   

9. Play around with the text positioning, Font style, font size, font color, etc. You can also manually edit the subtitles by typing in the field below.

   

10. After you’ve clicked preview, select download and download the clip on your device.

    

You can now repurpose these video clips and post them as new social media content.

Pro Tip: Leave feedback for the app to get a discount on their paid version. It even has a Google Extension you can download for FREE.

As Uncle Ben once said, with great power comes great responsibility. In this case, with great content comes great courtesy.

So be sure to credit the original content creator if you’re reposting clips of their posts.

How To Be A Children’s Book Author Using ChatGPT & Midjourney

We knew AI could make things easier but nobody said it was THIS easy.

Imagine an entire children's book beautifully written and even designed with engaging images in no time, all because of AI?

It was as easy as pie with ChatGPT and Midjourney. Nope, this was probably easier than baking an actual pie—no sticky fingers and no waiting for hours.

Here’s a step-by-step guide you can follow to be an AI-powered author, too:

1. Enter this prompt to ChatGPT:

This is key because you want to be the one to influence and direct the story, considering automated stories generated by AI could lack important lessons that would benefit the readers.

2. Answer ChatGPT's question and generate the storyline summary.

3. Ask ChatGPT to pick 5 key moments in the story that would benefit from graphic images.

Use the prompt: "Choose 5 key moments that should have graphic images to emphasize the main character's journey. Create a description for each of those images to capture the essence of the respective scene in the story."

You'll have an outline of 5 key moments in the story, plus descriptions for what each image should be.

4. Head over to Midjourney and use each description as a prompt.

Note that you might still need to modify those descriptions so they can be effective prompts.

Pro Tip: Play around the ‘Model’ and ‘Art Styles’ options in the right panel of your Midjourney dashboard. The “Disney” Model is recommended.

5. Download the rendered images and head back to ChatGPT. Ask the chatbot to write storytelling captions for each of the images to capture the whole storyline and guide the reader to guide the reader through the main character's journey.

6. Build the book using Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or any other design tool by customizing a book or e-book template.

Once done, you'll have a complete children's book and can finally call yourself an author. Congratulations!

You can share the book with kids you know or sell it for a profit. (New income source discovery, you’re welcome.)

BONUS: We created this PDF Copy to share how we used ChatGPT and Midjourney to create a Children’s Book, plus how it turned out.

TLDR news highlights

Meta just released Llama 3.1

Meta's Llama 3.1 is finally out of the cage, and boy, did it come to play.

We really gotta hand it to Meta—they released not just their most advanced AI model to date but updates to the current Llama versions, all at the same time.

Llama 3.1 is in the running for the ‘Best LLM’ title, alongside GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, but what sets it apart is that it’s the first of its kind to be open for everyone to use and build on.

This means everybody and their mama can finetune and influence this Gen AI model.

This beast is so packed with features that it takes a 92-page PDF just to list them all. The coolest features include 128k context length, multi-lingual abilities, killer code generation, and some pretty complex reasoning skills.

If you think that’s overkill, wait til you hear what Meta envisions for Llama 3.1. Ready?

They see it as THE AI MODEL that will usher others into the era of new applications like synthetic data generation and even model distillation.

So, buckle up and hold on tight. The Llama is on the loose and it’s set to make some serious waves.

Microsoft Bing Introduces New AI-Powered Search

Hold onto your search bars, because Bing is getting an AI makeover.

Will this make it prettier? Probably not. But will this make it more helpful? Absolutely yes.

Microsoft Bing uses LLMs to generate dynamic, AI-powered search result layouts, including answer summaries and related sections. It will essentially provide everything about what you search for, from the larger context down to the top examples and used sources.

If you think this will overwhelm you, you might be wrong. Microsoft made it a point to create sections on the search results page so you can easily read and understand the results and navigate the page with no problems.

Right now, this feature is still in the test phase with a select few user queries and is showing great promise. But for creators and businesses relying on SEO, it’s a mixed bag.

Will these changes keep the clicks flowing, or are we looking at another case of “AI did it better”? We’ll find out soon enough.

AI Robots Are Now Farmers

AI robots are now out in the fields picking fruits with laser precision.

No, they haven’t traded their circuit boards in for overalls. What they do have is advanced vision models that help them determine the ripeness of the harvest.

This video shows Hitbot, an AI robot that uses a complex computer algorithm to pick perfectly ripe fruits. Although it moves slower than a human farmer, its fruit-picking technique is unmatched because it puts minimal strain on the bearing plant/tree when fruit-picking.

Let’s hope these robot farmers work only in covered greenhouses and not on open farmlands. The crop-stealing critters might just lose their minds if they encounter them in the field.
