Howdy, folks! Your AI aficionado, Jeff, checking in with another round of our AI Curious newsletter. You might want to grab your surfboard for this one because we're riding a massive wave of AI advancements! From the insane progression of photo manipulation technology (GAN) to AI-generated speaking characters that are quite literally, giving voice to your creative ideas – we've got it all.

Ever wished for ChatGPT to be right at your fingertips, no matter where you are? Well, dreams do come true - as long as you're an Apple user. OpenAI has just launched the official ChatGPT app on the App Store! Fingers crossed, Android peeps - your turn is coming.

Last, but definitely not least, we're going to unlock some serious power with ChatGPT for businesses. Picture this: Your very own AI giving you the best business prompts, helping you strategize better and grow faster.

Let’s dive in!

Quick Note: As always, I don't have any affiliations with the tools or tech discussed. I'm just an AI geek sharing the love for all things innovative and exciting.

GAN: Reshaping Reality, One Pixel at a Time! ?? ♂???

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce a piece of tech that's going to turn us all into AI photo manipulators – GAN! In the words of the eminent AI aficionado, JJ Delgado?? , "Video manipulation is just getting insane... We will finish the year with amazing AI tools in the hands of everybody. Solopreneurs will have superpowers that they didn't dream of."

GAN is an innovative, interactive tool designed to take the control of your visual content to an unparalleled level. Ever wished you could simply drag a part of an image to change its shape, pose, expression, or even its layout? Now you can, thanks to GAN.

The tool works in two main steps: firstly, it follows the motion of a 'handle' point on your image that you move towards a target position, and secondly, it keeps track of the position of the handle points using generator features. This means you can quite literally drag and drop parts of your image to match your wildest imagination.

GAN is a powerful tool that helps you manipulate images with mind-boggling precision, letting you reshape anything from people and animals to cars and landscapes. The best part is that even though you're manipulating the image, it still maintains a realistic output. This means you can alter occluded content and even reshape objects while keeping the rigidity intact.

Impressed yet? Just wait until you see it in action!

Conjuring Animated Characters in a Flash! ????

Brace yourself as we delve into a realm where you can create an animated speaking character in less than 10 minutes – thanks to AI. Riley Brown (@rileybrown_ai on Twitter) shares this eye-opening tutorial, narrated by a speaking, AI-generated character. Yes, you read that right!

There's a certain charm in animated characters – they capture our imaginations, tug at our heartstrings, and sometimes even make us roll on the floor laughing. What if I told you, you could now not just imagine, but create these captivating characters in a matter of minutes? That's the magic of AI for you!

In the insightful video, the process of creating a speaking animated character is laid bare, and what's more – it's explained to you by an AI-generated character! There's no better way to understand how AI works than by hearing it from the horse's mouth (or should I say, from the code's mouth?)

This is more than just a showcase – it's a brief tutorial that takes you through the steps of creating your own animated speaking character, in less than the time it takes to finish your morning coffee!

Some practical use cases that I can see for this is creating realistic avatars using either Midjourney Leonardo AI and following this avatar be your speaker. If you’re camera shy, you could easily create video tutorials, presentations or even announcement videos without ever having to talk or be on camera.

Say Hello to the Official ChatGPT App! ????

Now here's something you've been waiting for – OpenAI's official ChatGPT has finally landed on the Apple App Store! Shoutout to Matt Wolfe (@mreflow on Twitter) for this exciting update. But beware folks, it seems like fake ChatGPT apps have been creeping up in the app store, tricking users into sharing private data. Let's stick with the official one, shall we?

This new development has certainly stirred up some buzz. I've got mixed feelings myself – elation, anticipation, a tinge of disappointment, and a strange sense of dependence.

I'm thrilled that there's a dedicated app for ChatGPT, straight from the experts at OpenAI. We've all been there, right? Those moments when you're away from your computer, an ingenious idea strikes, and you wish you had ChatGPT at your fingertips. Well, that wish has been granted, at least for iOS users.

However, I can't help but feel a little left out in the cold as an Android user. OpenAI hasn't given us a timeline yet for an Android version, but fingers crossed it's in the pipeline. Android users, our time will come!

And finally, it's interesting to see how integral AI has become to our lives, to the point where we feel a dependency on it. Is it just me, or is it fascinating and a bit scary at the same time? Maybe we'll need to start AI Detox programs soon, who knows?

Until then, iOS users, enjoy this new power at your fingertips. And to everyone, stay tuned, stay curious, and keep exploring the limitless possibilities AI brings! ??????
