🧠 News: Is Journalism dead? Google test out AI journalists.
Read Time: 4 minutes
Our Report: Google is testing out an AI tool—Genesis—that can write news articles by absorbing information & details on current events before producing original articles.
🔑 Key Points:
Google is testing Genesis currently & pitched it as a product to The New York Times.
Google is not the only company working on AI-generated news articles. Other companies, such as Microsoft and OpenAI, are also developing similar technologies.
AI-generated news articles have the potential to revolutionize the way news is produced and consumed. However, there are also some concerns about the potential for bias and misinformation in AI-generated content.
🤨 Why you should care:
AI-generated news articles can make news more accessible and affordable (no more pesky paywalled articles), although there’s also huge potential for bias and misinformation in AI-generated content.

🗣️ Speechify
Speechify is an AI-powered text-to-speech app that helps you read more efficiently by turning your PDF’s, Word Documents and study notes into audio files.
🔑 Key Features:
Reads aloud any text: Speechify can read aloud any text, including PDFs, articles, and web pages (also supports a variety of languages and accents).
Adjustable speed: Speechify allows you to adjust the speed of the text-to-speech, so you can read at a pace that's comfortable for you. 1.7x is my favorite for learning.
Natural-sounding voices: Speechify uses natural-sounding voices that make it easy to listen to for long periods of time.
💪 Challenge yourself:
Try reading a PDF aloud: If you're new to Speechify, start by reading a PDF aloud.
Adjust the speed of the text-to-speech: Once you're comfortable with Speechify, try adjusting the speed of the text-to-speech. 1.7x is the sweet spot for me.
Listen to a book in a foreign language: Forget the DuoLingo bird, listen to a Spanish rendition of Moby Dick to improve your language skills.
ChatGPT can be really confusing.
That’s why we simplify it for you—with basic prompt training.
Every day we highlight a new prompt to supercharge your workflow.
Today: The Startup Funding Prompt:
(great for entrepreneurs)
“Offer a comprehensive guide to small business financing options, including loans, grants, and equity financing.
Ask me the following questions one by one & tailor your advice to my responses:
What business do you operate?
What stage of business development are you currently at?
Where do you live?
How much funding are you looking for?
How quickly are you looking to raise funding?
Ultimately I want you to develop a holistic plan based upon my needs & requirements.”
Google has enhanced Bard's capabilities by integrating Google Lens—which allows reverse image searching & many more image-based features.
Bard can now extract text from images, interpret tables, generate code from mockups, explain images, provide nutritional info & even understand memes.
OpenAI introduced custom instructions for ChatGPT, allowing users to preset preferences and avoid repetitive prompts.
This feature, currently in beta, helps tailor ChatGPT's responses based on user specifications, such as “always keep responses under 1000 words” or “keep the tone of the response formal”
