AI versus Marshy - Validating Slack Apps for ChatGPT

As a growth marketer with a passion for AI, I’ve been exploring various tools and opportunities. I’ve been talking to friends and colleagues about their experiences with these tools, and I wanted to share one interesting conversation I had recently. My friend noticed that there weren’t any great Slack apps for ChatGPT, so he decided to build his own. I was curious to learn more about his project and what he had discovered. I love spotting opportunities and my consulting career wouldn’t have lasted this long without that ability. So I was talking to my friend the other day and he said: “I noticed all the Slack apps for ChatGPT were crap so I spent a few weeks and built my own” I find it hard to believe that there isn’t a good version of this but it turns out there isn’t. BUT SALESFORCE OWNS SLACK AND IS AN AI COMPANY NOW? My advertising-addled brain cried. Sure enough after some digging, I couldn’t find any in the Slack Marketplace that were great. My friend proudly told me that his preserved security, allowed full-text search of all your conversations, kept it in a channel, and each new conversation had its own thread. “I guess that’s a product but I can’t sell it” I could… Slack thoughts. The problem is I’m slammed as it is and working on other things right now. If you’re interested in something like that let me know? Enter Nightshade - poison for AI Heard via VentureBeat . Take THAT tech. This is a case of a story sounding cooler in theory than in reality. Nightshade is a free tool that can be added to your artwork so that it’s not detectable by the human eye, but funks with LLMs that train itself on visuals. It’s basically poison for AI.
