🤑 1 AI Business Idea For You

100% Automated Instagram Machine

AI Automation has been a big process I’ve been interested in lately

Literally everyone has been talking about the simple use cases of using ChatGPT to help you write and summarize articles, SEO, or all these menial tasks

ChatGPT is useful for that, but that’s only 10% of AI’s true power

Rarely anyone is talking about AI automation.

That’s because there’s a lot more to learn. But the reward is exponentially higher

With AI automation you can 100% automate the entire process for a business, so they don’t have to rely on humans doing the work

It simplifies everything

With a lot of help I’ve manage to create an AI automation that does the following…

1. 1) scans for latest AI news

2. 2) scrapes article content

3. 3) Generates Midjourney image based on title

4. 4) Summarizes article into caption along with a tl;dr

5. 5) Posts every day automatically

I explain what tools I use and how I use them in this Twitter thread below👇

This is just one use case, but there is many more you can do with this

As I learn more and more about AI automation I’ll be sharing what I learn both on my Twitter and this newsletter

👀 Elon Musk Strikes Back at AI Startups with Daring Tweet Paywalls

Summary: Elon Musk introduces new limitations on Twitter for the number of posts users can view daily, attributing it to AI companies scraping data, and as part of Twitter's monetization efforts.

Key points:

• Verified accounts can read 6,000 posts per day

• Unverified accounts can read 600 posts per day

• New unverified accounts can read 300 posts per day

  Users exceeding these limits will receive a "rate limit exceeded" message

• Musk announced that the limits will soon increase to 10,000 for verified, 1,000 for unverified, and 500 for new unverified accounts.

🎮 Valve Responds To Claims It Has Banned AI-Generated Games From Steam

Summary: Valve rejected an indie game on its Steam platform due to legal uncertainties regarding AI-generated content ownership, clarifying that the decision was not based on opposition to AI

Key points:

• Valve rejected an indie game on Steam.

• The rejection was due to legal uncertainties about ownership of AI-generated content.

• Valve clarified that they are not opposed to AI.

• Steam requires developers to have rights to all content, including AI training data.

My take: Steam wants to make sure they aren’t coming off as opposing the idea of using AI in games. AI in video games can be an incredibly powerful feature

The ability to have a unique conversation with NPC’s is something on the horizon
