AI versus Marshy - Second use case: Turn my deck into a 5 slide Carousel for LinkedIn post (with suggested wording)

If you’re new to this newsletter, I’m excited to introduce you to ChatGPT4o, a powerful tool that’s been helping me streamline my work and unlock new possibilities. In this article, I’ll be sharing three practical use cases for ChatGPT4o, so let’s dive in and explore how you can use it to boost your productivity and creativity. ChatGPT4o can “read” presentations, this means it can offer suggestions for improvement, add details, and be another set of eyes on your deck. So what if I wanted to turn the presentation into LinkedIn post - how could I do this? What slides would I pick or adapt? Well let’s just ask AI. ​ The full presentation It’s suggested wording for the LinkedIn post was gross, but it picked out the slides that would support this ask admirably. Not bad! Third use case: Using it to help you create a scrolling code GIF as if you were typing things out on the keyboard So here’s another one from the Starter Story community I’m a part of. Anastacia asked if there’s an app for creating a GIF of code being typed out - ​ A reasonable ask This visual is common in coding education - where there is highlights of what’s happening to help make the content less dry. There may be an app for this, but a free solution is available to Mac users. Apple Scripts lets you do all sorts of things with your Mac (including staggered text appearances) so I asked old mate how to do that . It provided a straightforward solution for walking through this solution. A recorded GIF of me typing slowly – I’m excited to write the 1 year birthday edition of AI versus Marshy next week ( oh yes I have been counting! 🥳) and one of the things I want to stress is that the limits to what we can do with AI are almost certainly going to be human-led - not technology’s capabilities-led. There’s a usage gap with technology that exists today. There are novel and elegant solutions that potentially exist for a lot of sectors that aren’t currently being employed. I met someone recently who is building onboarding gateways for a non-profit he’s volunteering with Bubble.io. The workflow for this particular kind of volunteering doesn’t have any current software that suits this. This is why playing with things is where the magic is going to happen. Exploring things like - does this go with this? is going to unlock far more for the planet than AI or humans alone. And that’s the thesis of this newsletter and why I keep writing about it. Human AND machine will ALWAYS work better than one or the other. The onus is on us to continue learning new ways of working with this technology to forge a better future. This doesn’t mean doom-mongering like “ urk - it’s replacin’ mah job! ” Originally appeared in newsletter : AI versus Marshy #49: the difference between free and paid ChatGPT
