Glad you began with AI imaging. Those two letters create disquiet in some. Your presentation should encourage us to play and become familiar with the visual content resulting in greater ease of mind.

Also, subscribed and pledged!

Thanks for sharing. Personally I’m just as amazed as you are about what AI imagery can generate - however, I get quite a few negative comments when I used them in my social media posts.

I think I should have been more clear. My example of the cat was just to show how you can create a photo like this in seconds. However, I have never used a photo like that in any of my posts and I know my regular followers know that. The images I sometimes create and use when I can’t find anything else don’t look like a photo. An example is the one I made for my last post in The Planet: the map of Europe with those hands above it.

While I'm not new to AI, I've mostly focused on LLMs. This was fun to read and try out. Thank you.

I hope it worked. I’ll try to keep it as easy as possible for all go enjoy (not that you need that :-)

It worked really well, yes. I might use what I created (or had AI create for me) for the chatbot on my website - so I'm not ready to share it with everybody just yet.

AI is still new to all of us and it is evolving so quickly it's hard to keep up. So it was lovely to get a step by step guide. Could I have figured it out on my own - probably 😊 This was much nicer though.

Absolutely love these articles Alexander. They are so needed! So many folks are struggling to use the AI tools.

I would love you to do a guest post on my.newsletter sometime. I am helping people overcome their anxiety about AI and the future. One of your articles would fit perfectly. (I will DM you :-)

127 in a few weeks is awesome growth!!

Congratulations 🎉

Thank you, Christine, for your reply. I’ve tried to make it as accessible as I can, since other publications are aiming for a much more advanced level. Just write back if you have any questions. In my next newsletter, I’ll focus more on writing tools.
