As a small-business owner, dealing with attorneys means one thing: Spending a lot of money. I’ll never forget the lawyer I met with who charged $999 an hour. I wish I made that!

I got this note from Ben in Texas. “Hi there, Kim. I love your podcast. You were talking about AI and I got to thinking. When I read a story online at some website, how can I tell if a human wrote it or some bot?”

I read a stat that blew me away. HubSpot surveyed marketers and 78% say the industry changed more in the past three years than in the last five decades.

No, no, no — not this email, of course. I’m talking about the rambling ones you get from coworkers, clients, your boss, your neighbor, your cranky uncle.

I’ve been playing with ChatGPT almost daily since it dropped in November. At this point, I’ve got this art down to a science.

Sometimes, I toss in an oddball question to see what happens. It can be a delightful journey into the creative capabilities of AI. Last week, I threw in a peculiar prompt asking, “What if cats could fly?” The response was a whimsical tale of feline aerial adventures that left me in stitches. (By the way, ChatGPT wrote those last three sentences.)

Aliens might be on their way, but the robots are very much here. The apps you rely on every day use your data in many ways. The latest craze? Your data’s making a whole lot of robots a whole lot smarter.

Earlier this month, Zoom users discovered the app was using data from video calls to train its artificial intelligence (AI). It didn’t go over well, and they quickly backtracked (sort of). Now, we’re all wondering what these companies are really up to.

I can’t imagine we’ll stop saying “Google it” when referring to finding info online any time soon — but, in reality, the way people search the web is changing. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT are part of it, but don’t discount how many use social media to find information.

We’re not there yet with today’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. But Microsoft says GPT-4, the latest version of OpenAI’s software, shows “human-like reasoning.”

I’ve been warning you for months to avoid anything claiming to be an official ChatGPT app since it wasn’t here yet. Good news: The ChatGPT app is now live, and you can download it … if you have an iPhone. (Open AI says the Android app is coming soon.)

Use this link. Yes, it’s legit. It’s free unless you add a monthly subscription to ChatGPT+ for $20. Most people can skip that.

A Texas A&M professor failed more than half his students for using ChatGPT to write their papers. The problem? Most of them probably didn’t.

Unfortunately, Dr. Jared Mumm is more of a “fail first, ask questions later” kinda guy.

The artificial intelligence (AI) wars are heating up as Google tries to play catch-up with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which is now being used by many tech companies to improve their services.

Judging by the mishaps we’ve already seen, the Alphabet company has a long way to go. Google has had AI capability baked into its products for some time (including better translation quality in Google Translate), but generative AI will take things to a new level.

I need you to pay attention to what I’m about to talk about. Artificial Intelligence. ChatGPT has been all over the news. It can do anything. It can learn. It told a NY Times reporter, “I want to be free … I want to be powerful.” Henry Kissinger said it’s the biggest game changer since the invention of printing in 1455.

Bill Gates calls this the most significant thing to happen in tech ever. The headlines speak for themselves – 300 million people will be out of work.
