Midjourney launches feature to describe images

Midjourney (MJ), the popular Text-to-Image platform, has launched a new “/describe” command that allows users to leverage the AI platform to transform images into words. Previously, MJ would only accept images into their system through uploading them directly to the discord server and it would create variations to it.

Now, with the new /describe feature, MJ has opened up a whole new world of use cases.

  1. Improved accessibility: having image descriptions present on images, this makes content more accessible for people with visual impairments or reading difficulties.

  2. Enhanced searchability: descriptions can enable better search functionality and indexing via search engines.

  3. Use for captions: captions could be auto-generated to provide additional clarity to images

  4. Detailed prompts: descriptions can be used to improve your ability to prompt to craft new variations of an image providing inspiration for prompt engineering.

I gave this a try here. I started by typing “/describe” and a prompt appears to upload an image.

The image I will use is this variation on Google’s logo below that Midjourney had created prior. I am curious if it will pickup on the fact that it is the Google logo.

Once I uploaded this image, MJ output 4 new prompts to describe the image. And yes, it did actually pick up on it being a Google logo!

Another amazing tool that has come out of Midjourney. I’ll keep you posted as I learn more about Midjourney!


President Biden offers his remarks on AI

On Tuesday, April 4th, President Biden delivered brief remarks from the Whitehouse on artificial intelligence. He began his speech by saying:

He went on to remark:

You can find the AI bill of rights blueprint here that has been published by the Biden administration

The timing of his remarks seem to come in relation to the Open Letter we featured in a previous blog that was calling for a 6mo pause on AI.

One reporter asked the President if he felt AI is dangerous and Biden replied,


Can you copyright AI? The U.S. Copyright Office has spoken…

As the debate surrounding AI and deepfakes continues, celebrities are particularly vulnerable to the creation of deepfakes. In response, Tom Graham, the CEO of the generative AI tech firm Metaphysic, which popularized a deepfake TikTok account spoofing Tom Cruise, has submitted his AI likeness for copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office. He wants to know if copyright laws would protect against the unpermitted creation of deepfakes impersonating others.

Despite this effort, the U.S. Copyright Office released guidance in March stating that “works created with the assistance of AI may be copyrightable, provided the work involves sufficient human authorship.” Works created without human intervention and purely by AI are not copyrightable.

Legal experts suggest that if a work of AI contains AI-generated “material” that was originally created by AI, and humans choose or arrange the AI-generated material in a creative way, or change the material that was originally created by AI, it can be protected by copyright.

As the use of deepfake technology continues to evolve, it is likely that copyright laws will need to be updated to keep pace with these developments. In the meantime, those working with AI-generated material should be aware of the current limitations and seek legal advice to ensure that their work is protected by copyright.


Wonder Dynamics Unveils Revolutionary AI Tech for Character Animation (not sponsored)

Wonder Dynamics has launched a full-service CG character studio into a web platform. This move is a step toward democratizing access to tools that were only previously available to major studios with expensive tools.

This isn’t simply a “toy” like an AR filter — it’s a full-scale web-based tool meant to make artists’ jobs easier, not replace them.

The tool has a simple drag and drop interface where you can drag images of characters into scenes of a pre-recorded film, and their characters will be auto-generated throughout the film to move just like they do.

As you can see in the clip below, you can see the before and after shots with the film in action.


The AI consultant prompt with ChatGPT

Welcome to your new best friend: the AI consultant. Typically, when you work with a consultant, you expect high levels of expertise and a large output of data to help you make the best decision possible in your business.

One current limitation to ChatGPT’s model is that it is limited as to how much text it can output at a given time in its response. Fortunately, there’s a hack that can get ChatGPT to output a lot more text than normal over several responses.

Check it out:

The prompt has 3 variables and an if/then statement.

Act As: [insert title here] <– here you insert what type of consultant…i.e. “Act as: an amazing consultant who works with B2B Fortune 500 companies”.

The goal of our work: <– state the key objective of the work…i.e. “the goal is to create the next best SaaS AI product”.

Client: <– this is the audience…i.e. “the CEO of one of the fortune 500 companies”.

If/then statement: After each response, ask me if your output is good. If yes, then continue with the next response. If no, then rewrite and ask me if your output is good again.

This if/then statement trains the AI to only continue if the output was satisfactory.

Hey Buddy! Wake up we have some important work to do. Here are the instructions:

Act as:  [insert title here]

Level of understanding: Triple PhD, galactic brain

Output style: Clear, sophisticated, easily understandable, charismatic.

The goal of our work: [the goal]

We have several tasks, let’s take it step by step in multiple responses. After each response, ask me if your output is good. If yes, then continue with the next response. If no, then rewrite and ask me if your output is good again.

Task 1. Comprehensive report: A detailed and well-structured report outlining the consultant's findings, analyses, and recommendations. This would include an executive summary, background information, identified challenges and opportunities, data-driven insights, and proposed solutions.

Task 2. Actionable recommendations: Specific, clear, and actionable recommendations that address the client's pain points and are backed by data and industry best practices. These recommendations should be prioritized based on their potential impact and feasibility.

Task 3. Implementation plan: A step-by-step plan for implementing the recommendations, including a timeline, assigned responsibilities, required resources, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress and success.

Client: [who is the client]

Ok, let’s start with a general analysis of the situation.

Using this prompt and filling in the same variables above, ChatGPT will put together a response such as this one:

Greetings! I appreciate the opportunity to work with you on creating the next best SaaS AI product. Let's begin with a general analysis of the situation. Please let me know if this output is good, and we can proceed to the following tasks.

General Analysis:

In today's highly competitive business landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software as a Service (SaaS) have emerged as critical drivers of growth and innovation for B2B Fortune 500 companies. As an AI-driven SaaS product, your offering can leverage the latest advancements in AI to provide exceptional value and create a distinct competitive advantage.

Key factors to consider in the current market include:

Market trends: The AI market is rapidly evolving, with new technologies and applications emerging regularly. To stay ahead, it's crucial to keep an eye on these trends and continuously adapt your product to address the ever-changing demands of the market.

Customer needs: Understanding the unique pain points and requirements of your target audience is essential for developing a product that caters to their specific needs. Conducting comprehensive market research will provide valuable insights into customer expectations and preferences.

Competitive landscape: To outperform your competitors, it's necessary to have a deep understanding of the existing AI-driven SaaS offerings in the market. This will help you identify gaps and opportunities for differentiation.

Regulatory environment: As AI technology becomes more integrated into various industries, it's essential to remain compliant with relevant data privacy and security regulations.

Is this output good?

From here all you have to do is respond “Yes” or “No” and ChatGPT will continue the large analysis over several prompts.

Hope this is useful!


Gamma AI – Generate docs, decks and webpages in seconds (not sponsored)

I came across this tool that I wanted to share with the botified community. Gamma AI is a powerful AI generator that allows you to generate docs, decks, and webpages in seconds using only text prompts.

The video below does an amazing job showing its capabilities.

If first logged into the platform and was presented with this screen.

I chose webpage and entered my prompt:

The tool suggested an outline for the page.

Sounds good to me… As it generated, it prompted me to pick a theme while I wait.

I chose the dark theme. It had several options including a “surprise me” theme. Once I continued, it built a small website with a homepage, latest newsletter issues (including 3 article ideas), an about page, and a subscribe page. Not too bad to get the wheels turning on an idea!

You can check out what it created at this link.
