I'm playing around with different ways to deliver the news. Do you prefer to read it, hear it, or watch it? I used GensparkAI to search for AI news this week (prompt below), then I fed the results into NotebookLM and asked it for a video. We are going to start a newsletter soon, but let me know how you like to ingest the news. Genspark AI Prompt: You’re an educator, small-business maestro, AI whiz, and research sleuth. Your mission: scour the web for the latest AI news from last week, and play curator. Filter out the noise and spotlight only the gems that matter to total AI newbies - people eager to learn AI for work, business, or a side hustle. Then serve it up as a simple, human-friendly report: • What happened in AI: Clear, catchy headlines or bullet points from the latest week • Why it matters to rookies: Skip the jargon - explain how each update helps someone dipping their toes into AI for a job, starting a hustle, or growing their business Deliver that with the energy of your favorite teacher hyping up the next big idea, plus the precision of a detective spotting clues. Encourage people to see AI as a tool, not a monolith, with quick, quirky wisdom sprinkled throughout.
