🤖 OpenAI Launches Tasks
PLUS: Scammer uses AI-generated images of Brad Pitt to swindle over $850K
Happy Monday!
Oh boy, what a rollercoaster of a weekend! First, TikTok got the boot, then it pulled a Houdini and reappeared. Seriously, what kind of reality show are we living in? Meanwhile, ChatGPT decided to spice things up by launching "Tasks," which is basically like having a personal assistant who never sleeps and doesn’t complain about coffee breaks. You can even boss it around to do stuff daily, weekly, or monthly. I've got it set up to lookup and tell me all the local weekend events in my city every Friday. Goodbye, dull weekends!
I'm thrilled to see so many of you choosing to dive into AI with my new course this month! I truly believe that understanding AI will soon be as essential as knowing how to navigate the internet. If you're eager to get ahead, you can snag my course at a 50% discount using the code CLIFFNOTES50 at checkout. Just a heads up, this special offer is available only until the end of January. Check out this awesome testimonial from our community:
“I just want to say WOW—I was absolutely blown away by this Cliff Notes AI course! You did an amazing job, especially in breaking down complex concepts into simple, layman's terms. Even someone like me, with limited educational experience, could easily understand and execute the steps. Your detailed examples of prompting, including how to articulate and add specifics, were critical. Terrific, awesome, and well-structured job, Cliff! Your course was not only fun and intuitive, but it also kept me fully engaged—I couldn’t pull away! I gave it five stars and would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn and eventually master AI, as well as gain inside informational insight into the wide range of tools you covered.”
