00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Welcome to Artificially Intelligent Marketing, a weekly podcast where we stay on top of the

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,740
latest trends, tips, and tools in the world of marketing AI, helping you get the best

3
00:00:15,740 --> 00:00:18,560
results from your marketing efforts.

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,840
Now let's join our hosts, Paul Avery and Martin Broadhurst.

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,480
Welcome to episode 13 of Artificially Intelligent Marketing.

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,960
Lucky number 13, Martin, what are your thoughts on that?

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,440
I think something's going to go horribly wrong.

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,440
Let's hope not.

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,320
I think maybe it'll be the best episode ever.

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,760
So that's what I'm aiming for.

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,880
What have we got for you all lovely people this week?

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,440
Well, we've got a few short snippets as usual.

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,980
We've got a series of main stories that we're going to cover today, including HubSpot rolling

14
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:54,080
out campaign assistant.

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:00,720
We're going to look at an attorney in the US who used ChatGPT to build a brief that

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,520
was then full of junk, unfortunately, because ChatGPT made a load of stuff up and there

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,520
was a big hullabaloo.

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,640
We're going to talk about that.

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:13,000
We're going to talk about a sneak peek into the future of OpenAI from Sam Altman.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,800
And we're going to talk about a new paper that was released this week where OpenAI trained

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,680
the model based on its reasoning, not its outcome.

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,640
We'll talk about a little bit about that later.

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,560
And we're also going to lean into our tool of the week this week, which is Recraft AI.

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,960
Right.

25
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,520
Let's get them short snippets done first, Martin, because they're quickies this week.

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Some of you lovely folks might have seen that Microsoft is rolling out Intelligent Recap

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,360
for Teams meetings.

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,760
So in essence, Intelligent Recap is bringing a number of the features that a couple of

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,760
other tools already have like Tactique and Otter in terms of doing things like smart meeting

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,840
summaries, capturing the actions and that type of stuff.

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,680
So if you're a Microsoft Teams user, and especially if you're already a premium user, go check

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,680
that out.

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,020
I'm not, so I haven't been able to play with it, but you definitely should because I bet

34
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:07,860
it can save you and your team some time.

35
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:12,800
Then we had a fairly interesting and cool life science company called Benchside that

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,640
raised $95 million to help build out, further build out.

37
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,280
It's AI drug discovery platform.

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,080
I haven't had a chance to dig into this too much yet, Martin, but it looks really cool.

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,240
Like they're collating biological data from across a wide range of sources and using machine

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:37,080
learning and visual recognition to basically make that information searchable and for you

41
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,600
to be able to draw links between, I don't know, different disease states, different

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320
drug trials from the past and that type of stuff.

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,080
So yeah, I haven't dug in too deep to say for sure, but it looks kind of interesting

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760
and I will be looking into that in a bit more detail.

45
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,240
And then the last short snippet is the launch of Nvidia's generative AI service, Nvidia

46
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,340
ACE, which is for game developers.

47
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:05,680
This was pretty cool because one of the demos was trying to use low latency natural language

48
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,400
generation to have non-playable characters interact with you in a less formulaic way.

49
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,120
So you can imagine you're playing a game and you're playing it through for the stick

50
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,700
time and rather than being able to predict what that character says when you walk up

51
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:24,040
to them, you no longer can with this type of technology because they'll automatically

52
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,680
adapt to the different things that you might say to them.

53
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,680
You're smiling.

54
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,280
I saw the demo and it was a player walking up to someone, there was an NPC behind the

55
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,640
bar and there was the conversation that took place.

56
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,640
It just looked cool.

57
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,640
I just immediately imagine how much an open world game is going to be expanded by that.

58
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,640
I mean, yeah, incredible really.

59
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,080
We've got supposedly, we've got Apple's VR AR headset announcement next week as well.

60
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,960
So that'll be quite interesting to see how much that leaps the industry forward because

61
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,400
that would be the other bit of technology to plug into your vision there, Martin, wouldn't

62
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,820
it, for maybe being fully immersed and able to not physically, but walk up to the bar

63
00:04:06,820 --> 00:04:10,720
in VR and have that conversation would be pretty cool.

64
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Yeah.

65
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Yeah.

66
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,560
I think the VR games just haven't quite tipped over yet into the mainstream.

67
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,320
There's still something holding people back, but if any company can make it mainstream,

68
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,040
let's be honest, I think our money would be on Apple to do so.

69
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,000
That's what I'm kind of hoping for, if I'm honest.

70
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,080
I've had a Quest 2 since probably the start of the pandemic, so not long after they came

71
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,080
out.

72
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,480
And I really like it.

73
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,040
I think it's a cool piece of tech.

74
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,660
There's a boxing simulator, which is surprisingly fun to play.

75
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:45,920
There's a golfing simulator, which is awesome.

76
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Playing table tennis in VR basically got me through the pandemic in some respects.

77
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,400
So I think there's loads of niche cases that are really enjoyable, but you're right, if

78
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Apple can bring it to the mainstream, that would be kind of cool.

79
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,180
And when I saw this story, I couldn't help but think with my marketing head, if we can

80
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:12,760
create NPCs that can be that dynamic and with things like Unreal Engine 5.2 and really significant

81
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,840
improvements in graphics, does this change how things like bots, customer service bots

82
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,520
and sales bots on websites might operate?

83
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,920
Because it might be more like a virtual video call, the bots on those websites rather than

84
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,760
a little chat window, and we might be able to have fairly dynamic interactions with them

85
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920
a little bit like you would with NPCs.

86
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,520
So if they can develop and enhance and figure out how to make the technology work in games,

87
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,760
we might see it filtering to customer service, sales and marketing.

88
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,760
There's a thought.

89
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Right, let's get into our big old stories for this week.

90
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,920
And we're going to start for number one, which is that HubSpot rolls out Campaign Assistant,

91
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,440
their free AI marketing asset creator.

92
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,280
Has been having a little look at this, Martin, tell us more about it.

93
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,800
This was in beta and actually it still is in beta, but they've opened it up that anybody

94
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,800
can access it now.

95
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:15,600
And this is a generative AI tool from HubSpot that will generate copy for landing pages,

96
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,240
emails or Google ads.

97
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,240
And it's quite a nice interface.

98
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
You just answer a few questions.

99
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,320
It literally has a little box that tells you to describe what it is that you want to promote

100
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,440
or that you're offering.

101
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,320
And then it will ask about the tone and the style so you can select three boxes and pretty

102
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,640
much that's it.

103
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,680
And then it will spit out a result.

104
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,480
It's a hundred percent free to use.

105
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,240
It doesn't look like they're making any restrictions on this at all.

106
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,160
You do need a HubSpot account.

107
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,940
So when you go along to the Campaign Assistant, if you don't have a HubSpot login, you will

108
00:06:55,940 --> 00:07:04,680
be asked to sign up to the tool, at which point you will then be part of that ecosystem.

109
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,680
But yeah, I thought the fact that it is completely free to use is pretty generous.

110
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,080
The outputs are really good.

111
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,360
I thought when I used it myself, I wasn't sure whether they've maybe in their system

112
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:27,880
prompt in the way that they've configured it, whether they've given it quite tight specification

113
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,920
and examples with fine tuning.

114
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,640
I suspect that they have, but you can actually see the user input as the prompt.

115
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,800
So when you generate the output, you see the input that it gives you.

116
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,960
So it just takes the text that you put in the boxes and puts that as a user prompt as

117
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,200
if you've spoke to ChatGPT and you get the answer out from the agent.

118
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,200
Right.

119
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:56,680
But I did come across a little frustration at the moment with it.

120
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,960
And that's basically, it's kind of a standalone tool.

121
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,920
So it isn't fully integrated into the wider HubSpot suite.

122
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:08,000
So if you are a HubSpot user already, just be aware that this isn't like you're going

123
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,320
to go into the email section, create a new email, and then within that space, you're

124
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,920
going to be able to generate some text and just populate it into your campaign.

125
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:17,920
It's standalone.

126
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,800
You just have to copy the text and then paste it into your campaign.

127
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,960
And actually what I found quite frustrating in my use case of it when I was testing it

128
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:33,480
is I copied the text to add it into a campaign, I dropped it in, and actually the text didn't

129
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800
add the kind of formatting.

130
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,760
So the markup was included in the copy, if that makes...

131
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,880
So it said headline and then said the headline and it said paragraph one and then added paragraph

132
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,880
one.

133
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:53,360
So just adding it into the actual content editor within the email interface was just

134
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,360
a bit clunky.

135
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,240
You just had to edit that.

136
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,720
But other than that, I mean, bearing in mind, this is a beta product and it's completely

137
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,680
free and looks like it's going to remain free for everyone.

138
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,280
I think they've done a really solid job.

139
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,520
Yeah, that's awesome.

140
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,040
I had a bit of a play with this in the beta.

141
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:16,400
I think I was using it to come up with outlines and copy for blog posts, just a couple of

142
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,320
experiments.

143
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:26,320
And certainly my feeling at the time was, and I think this maybe was pre-GPT4, I can't

144
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,720
remember, but my feeling at the time was I'm a bit surprised at the high quality of both

145
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,760
the outlines and the content I was getting in terms of how informed it was on the topics.

146
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,800
Now, of course, I was testing marketing-based topics for the Byastrata blog and you would

147
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,280
hope that generative tools would know a bit about marketing given their hubspots.

148
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:54,280
So I don't know whether they've trained their tools on data they've got or other sources.

149
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,920
But at the time, I remember thinking, this is better than I'm currently getting out of

150
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,080
say ChatGPT or other tools.

151
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,320
So that was quite good.

152
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Did you have any experiences where you could sort of ascertain how good is the information

153
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,320
that this is producing?

154
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,120
How well written is it or anything like that?

155
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,000
Now I thought that it did stay quite close to the style.

156
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,960
In a couple of instances, for instance, I actually tried to create a marketing email

157
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,800
promoting the podcast.

158
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,400
And in the input text where I described what I was promoting, I explained the podcast and

159
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:38,240
I said, I present it with you and I said that this is Paul Avery, CEO of Byastrata.

160
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,800
And then when it wrote the actual copy, it kind of got confused because it was attached

161
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,040
to my company's HubSpot portal.

162
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,920
So it talked about it being from my company, but then talked about our CEO, Paul Avery,

163
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,640
CEO of Byastrata.

164
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:04,600
So it just kind of got a bit lost with those kind of little minor details.

165
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,120
But other than that, I actually thought the way that it structured the email, so it had

166
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,800
appropriate paragraph length, it had sub headers, it didn't...

167
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Yeah, I thought it did a really good job.

168
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,440
It is powered by OpenAI.

169
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:26,040
It does have a disclaimer on it saying you have to basically be aware that you're kind

170
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:31,080
of sending data to them and not to share any sensitive information.

171
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,000
It does explicitly say that in the input prompt.

172
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,480
That's probably useful to know.

173
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,480
Thanks, Martin.

174
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,800
So there you have it.

175
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,880
If you're a HubSpot user or you're in the habit of coming up with business ideas and

176
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,200
throwing up a landing page in HubSpot to see if you can get anybody to sign up or anybody

177
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,920
interested, you can now set up a free HubSpot account and start playing with some of those

178
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,960
tools.

179
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,160
For people that have never used any generative AI, this campaign assistant just makes it

180
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,520
dead simple.

181
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200
And the fact that it's free is a lovely bonus.

182
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,280
Agreed.

183
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,280
So there you are, people.

184
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,480
Go and have a play.

185
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,520
Let's move on to story number two, Martin.

186
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:18,720
So this is an interesting one and we're using this as a launchpad for a wider discussion

187
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,840
on the pros and cons and risks and rewards of using generative AI tools.

188
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,000
So I'd be very surprised if anybody hasn't seen this news item now because it blew up

189
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,880
across many different news networks outside of the fact that it was just AI.

190
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:43,560
But attorney Stephen Schwartz in the States submitted a brief as part of a lawsuit against

191
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:50,320
Avianca, a Colombian airline, and used ChatGPT to generate the brief.

192
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,100
I've got the SuperWidey report, but I've got the New York Times article here in front

193
00:12:55,100 --> 00:13:02,160
of me at the moment saying that it was a 10-page brief that cited more than a half a dozen

194
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,480
relevant court decisions, but unfortunately, none of them were real.

195
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,920
It's so stupid.

196
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,360
It's just such as, I can't believe you did it.

197
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,680
It's kind of crazy.

198
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:21,280
So a couple of things here just to let you know that just so that we all realize how

199
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,800
fallible we are and how easily this could happen, right?

200
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,400
So Mr. Schwartz, according to the New York Times, has practiced law in New York for three

201
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,400
decades.

202
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,760
This is not an intern or someone fresh out of grad school.

203
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,640
This is someone who has been playing this game for a very long time and I'm sure understands

204
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,760
the importance of verifiable sources, right?

205
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,880
And in fairness to Mr. Schwartz, he also threw himself, as the New York Times says, on the

206
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:57,880
mercy of the court on Thursday saying that he used the Artificial Intelligence Program

207
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:05,000
to do his legal research, in quotes, a source that has revealed itself to be unreliable,

208
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,320
no SH1T, Sherlock.

209
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,660
So I think this just goes to show just how easily you can end up if you just leverage

210
00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:23,280
the stuff that these models push out as fact, you can get yourself into a sticky situation

211
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,640
pretty quickly.

212
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Who could have predicted that that would happen?

213
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:34,160
It's so stupid, it kind of makes my brain hurt.

214
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,480
But fair play to him for holding his hands up and saying, yep, you caught me.

215
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Can you imagine being the opposition legal team in that instance and you're spending

216
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,840
one at a time crawling and trawling all of the court documents and case law and going,

217
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,840
we just can't find it.

218
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Has he just made it up?

219
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,080
That would be strategic though, wouldn't it?

220
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,680
It's like, I need to keep them busy while I figure out my real argument.

221
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,520
Here, go look up these sources that sound plausible but are not real.

222
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:08,880
And then that moment when his client must have found out in the courtroom, I'm sorry,

223
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,880
you did what?

224
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:16,440
I'm paying you how many dollars an hour and you just, oh my dear Lord.

225
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,600
Yeah, so it does go to show that anybody can be duped.

226
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:28,800
And it goes back to that point about when ChatGPT was first launched, people were saying

227
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,760
that ChatGPT is a bull.

228
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,880
It tells BS.

229
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,000
It's convincing and you read it and you think it's real.

230
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:50,640
I had an incident recently where I was testing the plugin, the new browsing plugin in ChatGPT

231
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,960
and it was after the Sam Altman Senate hearing.

232
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,880
And one of the clips that I turned or one of the bits of the conversation I wanted to

233
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:11,560
kind of dial into was about nutritional labeling for AI systems and I asked ChatGPT to explain

234
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,000
this a bit more and I thought, well, it's been mentioned at this hearing so it must

235
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,640
be a topic that a few people have written about.

236
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:27,480
And it came back to me and said, what you're referring to with nutrition labeling is actually

237
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:34,000
model cards and model cards were created by Google and they're a way of explaining what

238
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,600
an AI model does, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

239
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,960
And I just knew that wasn't true.

240
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,320
But if I didn't know that I would have just taken it as red because actually it sounded

241
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,720
plausible and if you're someone that doesn't follow these things closely.

242
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,600
So I had to say to it, I kind of gave it a telling off and said, no, that's just not

243
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,600
right.

244
00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:01,000
This is a very new concept, but actually what was interesting upon telling it off and telling

245
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,800
it to try again, it must have refined its kind of search parameters because it ended

246
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:12,080
up coming back saying, oh, this concept was mentioned at this Senate hearing early this

247
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,080
week.

248
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,740
I can't find any other information about it.

249
00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:21,040
This must be a new concept and therefore just kind of watch this space.

250
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000
It's so interesting, isn't it, that you...

251
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,040
Because I've seen people chastise chat GPT for being wrong and then it's like, oh no,

252
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,040
you're right.

253
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,040
I'm wrong.

254
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,040
Thanks for letting me know.

255
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,720
And it's like, well, if you knew, why did you do it?

256
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,080
And that's because it doesn't know because using the word no is a misnomer.

257
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,000
It's not a correct use of a term here because it's just based on its probability of what

258
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,120
it thinks the next term should be.

259
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:54,040
Even if it can browse the web, there's going to be this issue is going to be in the system.

260
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,840
In the case of Mr. Schwartz, according to the New York Times article, he told the judge,

261
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Judge Castell, that he asked the program to verify the cases were real and it said yes.

262
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,520
Right?

263
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,760
Well, that's due diligence.

264
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,800
I'm sure you pay them big money for.

265
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,080
So I think in summary, and this kind of reiterates, but it's a perfect real life example of things

266
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,400
that we said on this podcast several times, many times at this point, which is having

267
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,600
an expert in the loop to verify the information that's coming out of these tools is absolutely

268
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,600
critical.

269
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:34,440
Otherwise, you will make yourself and or your company look like fools and you either need

270
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,980
to understand the topics that you're prompting it about so that you can provide that critical

271
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:42,280
thinking and analysis to what comes out.

272
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,880
Or you need to be prepared to do rigorous due diligence on quite a lot of stuff that's

273
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,880
coming through from them, but certainly anything that you think sounds a bit dubious.

274
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,000
Yeah.

275
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,040
Right.

276
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:03,200
Let us move on to the next story then, which in this case is a little perhaps a little

277
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:10,160
bit of insight into where open AI is going, where GPTs are going.

278
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:18,800
So this comes from humanloop.com where Raza Habib has documented an interview with Sam

279
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:25,120
Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and a number of other developers to talk about where OpenAI

280
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:26,240
is going.

281
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,200
And this article is fascinating because it's got loads of like juicy bits in it.

282
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,480
So we're going to pull some out here, aren't we, Martin, in real time based on the things

283
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,240
that we found the most interesting.

284
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,800
So where do you want to start?

285
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,160
I think start at the top.

286
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:49,000
So the OpenAI heavily GPT, sorry, GPT, GPU limited at present, which is not a massive

287
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
surprise.

288
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,080
We know that the amount of compute power required for these large language models is massive.

289
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,360
It actually links back to what could have been one of the short snippets this week,

290
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:05,800
which is Nvidia, developers of GPU technology, just about.

291
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,960
I'm not sure if they quite broke the trillion dollar mark this week, but their investors

292
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,320
clearly see a lot of opportunity for them in the AI space at the moment.

293
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,680
So their valuation went through the roof.

294
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:29,840
But yeah, GPU capacity is what is delaying the short term plans of OpenAI at the moment.

295
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,520
And apparently Sam acknowledged their concern and explained that most of the issue was the

296
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,120
result of GPU shortages, specifically around frustrations that users have when it comes

297
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:44,320
to the speed of GPT-4 because people get a bit frustrated with that.

298
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:55,320
But also some of the functionality that was teased when they announced GPT-4, the launch

299
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:02,300
event and Greg Brockman did the demo with turning the pencil sketch and a notebook into

300
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:05,160
a real working website.

301
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,840
That multimodality is not coming anytime soon based on what this report says.

302
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:19,640
We're not going to see that until 2024 simply because they need more GPUs to come online.

303
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Slightly frustrating because there's a couple of projects I've been approached about recently

304
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:30,840
that would utilize that capability quite beautifully.

305
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,640
But yeah, we must wait.

306
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:40,160
Who would have thought that GPU access would end up slowing a lot of this stuff down versus

307
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,960
the scramble for regulation if indeed, I mean, this is just one data point, but if indeed

308
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,800
that is proving a major bottleneck, that's quite interesting.

309
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,860
The other thing that we're seeing in the world of open source is people finding clever ways

310
00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:59,320
to make these large language models be able to produce high quality outputs, but without

311
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,400
anywhere near the amount of compute power required, smaller models, fewer parameters

312
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,800
and all those types of things.

313
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:12,760
So I think it goes to show that there is a number of pressures to try, well, we talked

314
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,460
about water use last week, but costs and all these other factors to actually try and figure

315
00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:22,800
out how to get these models, these tools that we're using to operate without quite so much

316
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,280
compute power required.

317
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,560
So I think we'll see that as well.

318
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:36,160
Yeah, and attached to that compute power kind of restriction at the moment is also something

319
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:42,240
that was teased or spoke about when GPT-4 was launched, which was the context window.

320
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:50,640
So GPT-4 was announced and it had an 8K context window and a 32K context window, but the rollout

321
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:56,240
of the 32K context via the API has been incredibly slow.

322
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:03,760
I don't know anyone actually that has got access to that, but they are saying that higher

323
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,600
context windows, as high as 1 million tokens, we've spoken at length on this podcast in

324
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:17,560
recent weeks about Anthropix 100K context window in Claude, a million tokens, that's

325
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,480
750,000 words.

326
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Only 1 million token context windows are plausible in the near future.

327
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,360
That makes me salivate, but also makes me realise that you would absolutely burn through

328
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:35,000
cash using that API.

329
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,280
Well, yeah, unless they can get it down.

330
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,340
One of the things in this article that they mentioned that Sam focused on is a cheaper

331
00:23:42,340 --> 00:23:49,880
and faster GPT-4 is more important to them right now than say GPT-5 to try and drive

332
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:57,080
the cost of these things down so that certainly in terms of API use, they keep the price down

333
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,800
because as you mentioned, 1 million tokens would burn cash.

334
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,480
You'd have to charge quite a lot to offer that as a service.

335
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,360
We were speaking off air, what could you do with a million tokens?

336
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:17,680
We were like, oh, you could throw the text of 10 marketing books in and from there, ask

337
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,920
it what do these books agree about?

338
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,920
What do they disagree about?

339
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,320
What are the key contention points?

340
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,400
What are the key discussion points?

341
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,640
Imagine doing that with religious text, crumbs, that would be an interesting one, right?

342
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Although probably, I don't know, maybe a lot of religious texts might really stretch the

343
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,840
context window a bit but I think there's a lot of interesting stuff that could come out

344
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,840
the back of that.

345
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Yeah, massively.

346
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,360
I mean, like I say, it gets my juices going.

347
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,120
Yeah, that'd be cool.

348
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,560
I think some other things that Sam talked about that they were aiming for for this year

349
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:58,320
is what's called in this article a stateful API.

350
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:04,320
In other words, when you call the API today, you have to keep passing through the same

351
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,200
conversation history and pay for those tokens and in the future, they're hoping for a version

352
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,760
of the API that remembers the conversation history.

353
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,760
These are all things that will just make it easier for people to build tools on top of

354
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:22,360
it that make for a much more natural conversation style where you can sort of say to whatever

355
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,520
tool you're using, hey, you remember that thing we were talking about last week?

356
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,160
And it'll go, yeah, yeah, do you mean this thing?

357
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,160
Well, yeah, yeah, cool.

358
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,400
I want to go back to that without having to like scroll through a load of chat histories

359
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760
and obviously ideally connect those chat histories together, I guess.

360
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:46,100
When you look at the expense of GPT-4 in terms of the cost per token, I think a thousand

361
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:52,280
tokens is like three cents as an input prompt and six cents on the output.

362
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:59,360
That's really expensive compared to what we've seen on GPT-3 and 3.5.

363
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:04,880
So bringing those costs down, if you imagine that chat window, if you've got a long conversation

364
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,200
and every time you called the API, you're pushing all of that through, it does soon

365
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,200
start to rack up.

366
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,160
So I can see why that's going to be a priority for them.

367
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,400
Yeah, I'd agree.

368
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,840
I think the last thing we'll pull from this article that we found interesting, Martin,

369
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:27,800
was the concept of plugins within ChatGPT not having product market fit yet.

370
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:34,960
So the article says that the usage of plugins other than browsing doesn't have product market

371
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,960
fit yet.

372
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,160
And he suggested that a lot of people thought they wanted their apps to be inside ChatGPT,

373
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,280
but what they really wanted was ChatGPT inside their apps.

374
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,560
And when you think about how people are using a lot of apps at the moment, that makes sense.

375
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:57,760
It's almost like ChatGPT is an enabling technology inside of you trying to do something else.

376
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Right?

377
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:05,240
Even just the HubSpot platform that you talked about at the beginning of this episode was

378
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,240
around a goal.

379
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,680
Like I want to write a landing page, I want to write an email, I want to interrogate my

380
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,760
database of contacts to know who lives in the Cambridge area because I'm going out and

381
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,440
about and I want to go meet with some of them.

382
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,720
That context is key.

383
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,520
And so I think this fits in with some of our experience, this somewhat frustrating experience

384
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:30,760
is trying to use the plugin library because some of them don't really work very well or

385
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,920
have very specific use cases and other of these types of things.

386
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,800
So it's not necessarily a surprise to hear Sam Altman say that, but I think maybe it

387
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:45,600
shows you that the whole OpenAI is going to dominate the world by having like the app

388
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,040
marketplace for ChatGPT apps maybe is not the way it's going to go.

389
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,520
Yeah, I'm not sold on the plugins yet.

390
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,000
I haven't found a killer app.

391
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,800
I think the browsing plugin is kind of slow.

392
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,200
Ask your PDF one is pretty good.

393
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,280
And I think there's a video insights one, which does a pretty decent job of pulling

394
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,760
out some insights from YouTube videos and whatnot.

395
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,880
But for the most part, there's actually quite a lot of trash.

396
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,880
I'd agree.

397
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,920
I think the best ones, not entirely, but some of the best ones for me are the ones that

398
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,960
they were really good tools before you could just easily access them in ChatGPT.

399
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,120
So we've featured Ask My PDF on one of the early episodes of the podcast.

400
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,400
That's a pretty cool tool.

401
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,480
And what this just means is I don't have to go to that tool.

402
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,200
I can just access it directly within ChatGPT.

403
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:42,020
I think there's some cool things you can probably do with Zapier, but sometimes it's maybe just

404
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:44,760
easier to just copy paste stuff yourself.

405
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Right?

406
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,640
So you can ask ChatGPT to write an email for you based on a brief, and then you can push

407
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,160
it through Zapier into Gmail, or you just copy paste it, right?

408
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,800
Which is pretty fast and easy.

409
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,000
So I'm not super surprised to hear this because I think it fits with our experience, doesn't

410
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
it?

411
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Yeah, absolutely.

412
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,520
And the Zapier one is a good example, actually, because I really like the Zapier integration

413
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,480
when I'm doing it through Zapier, not when I'm doing it through ChatGPT.

414
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,480
Yeah.

415
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:19,400
So I'm usually building multi-step processes in Zapier, and that's where the power is.

416
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,720
I'm like, get this piece of data from here and here, interpret it like this, push it

417
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:29,840
here, and then do that, which is, at least as I understand it, from my tests beyond the

418
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,840
scope of ChatGPT.

419
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Although I'm sure there's some pretty cool stuff that I haven't been able to do with

420
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,280
it.

421
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,280
Right.

422
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,280
We're going to move on in the interest of time, Martin.

423
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:45,080
We're going to move on to our last story today, which is a research paper that came out this

424
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,080
week.

425
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:53,440
We'll only touch on this briefly, where OpenAI had trained a model using human reinforcement-based

426
00:29:53,440 --> 00:30:01,200
learning, but rather than training it by feeding back when it got the right outcome, they actually

427
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,000
molded how it worked based on the reasoning that it took.

428
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,600
So here's a quote from the OpenAI website.

429
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,920
We've trained a model to achieve a new state of the art in mathematical problem solving

430
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:20,200
by rewarding each correct step of reasoning, process supervision, instead of simply rewarding

431
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,920
the correct final answer, outcome supervision.

432
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,000
In addition to boosting performance relative to outcome supervision, process supervision

433
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,340
also has an important alignment benefit.

434
00:30:30,340 --> 00:30:38,240
It directly trains the model to produce a chain of thought that is endorsed by humans.

435
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:45,440
I saw this story and we're enthusiasts, we're not machine learning experts, but a lot of

436
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:52,360
the problems that come up in some of the discussions that we've had over time is, well, ChatGPT

437
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,480
and large language models, they don't think, they just get to an outcome, but in a very

438
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:02,760
different way from how humans do because it's all based on complex neural architecture,

439
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:08,120
based on probability matrices and determination parameters and all these other things, and

440
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,480
they don't, in inverted commas, think like us.

441
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:17,520
But this sounds to me like they're trying to help the models think like us.

442
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,560
They're trying to teach them logical reasoning and things like that, which I can imagine

443
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:27,640
would be really beneficial in some instances in terms of getting better outcomes, but also,

444
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,840
we've also talked about OpenAI and other large language model developers and providers can't

445
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,400
often describe or explain how the tool got the results.

446
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,760
But that might be easier if you've actually trained things for things to think in a certain

447
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,400
way or to process information in a certain way.

448
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,800
So I just thought that was a cool paper.

449
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,280
Any thoughts on this, Martin?

450
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:57,080
Yeah, well, chain of thought prompting has been shown to improve outputs for a while

451
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,080
now.

452
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,160
And I think it's really interesting that they're doubling down on the reinforcement learning

453
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,160
of that.

454
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,840
So to improve that as a methodology for coming up with outputs as well.

455
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:14,160
So yeah, I saw this, they were big on it, OpenAI published it, and Greg Bruckman was

456
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,040
tweeting all about it.

457
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,720
And like you say, this is kind of beyond our area of expertise in terms of machine learning

458
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,800
development.

459
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:30,480
But yeah, cool to see them doing reinforcement learning in different domains or different

460
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,480
areas.

461
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,480
Absolutely.

462
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:39,280
And I think as a marketer, if there are particular use cases that these tools are not good at

463
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:45,680
or untrustworthy in, this might help to see some improvements in terms of improving their

464
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:52,520
logical reasoning, rather than just potentially regurgitating a remix of information that is

465
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,920
in the training data that helped train the weights in the model to produce a specific

466
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:58,920
output.

467
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,280
Just as a general note as well, listeners, if they haven't tried chain of thought prompting,

468
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,160
add that into the prompt.

469
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,440
So ask it, if you're asking it to kind of do some planning or come up with a strategy

470
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:18,640
or do a piece of maths, try saying to it, show your working and show the steps to get

471
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,080
to the output and it will improve the response that you get.

472
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,080
Interesting.

473
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Thanks for sharing that, Martin.

474
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,080
I'm going to have a little play with that.

475
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,080
Right.

476
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,000
Last but not least, let's look at our tool of the week.

477
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,080
It's a quickie because we've not dug into using it too much, but it's been a question

478
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:41,840
that I've been asked a number of times recently and so it might just be worth flagging in

479
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,640
case people want to go and play with it.

480
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:51,440
So the tool itself is called recraft.ai and it's another image generation tool, but it's

481
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,360
an image generation tool with a difference.

482
00:33:54,360 --> 00:34:00,280
And the reason it's different is because it produces vector-based images.

483
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:06,600
So far, when you're using stable diffusion-based models, you get gorgeous images, but they

484
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,880
are JPEGs, PNGs.

485
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,480
They are like your photographs that you would take.

486
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,560
As such, they are limited in terms of their resolution and a number of other factors.

487
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,040
You can't easily change color of specific elements and all those good bits.

488
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,680
What you really want, if you want to be able to scale images infinitely or to be able to

489
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:32,440
easily change colors and move bits of images around, is to have them as vectors.

490
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,960
And for most marketers, their exposure to vectors is mostly going to be things like

491
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:45,240
logos, icons, some sort of fairly simplistic, I would have thought compared to photographs,

492
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:46,240
graphics.

493
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:51,760
And what recraft.ai allows you to do is it allows you to provide a natural language prompt

494
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,840
like you would for mid-journey or any other similar tool.

495
00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:00,600
But what you can do is produce vectors like icons, colored icons, just like text-based

496
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,920
outlines.

497
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:09,280
You can ask it to do all of the things that you would imagine, like I was playing with

498
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,960
it trying to create different icons that you might use on a website.

499
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,240
And once it produces them, you can actually go in and edit bits of that vector.

500
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:23,100
So you can change the colors and things like that, which was pretty cool.

501
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:31,880
When I tried to get creative and I really tried to get outside of what would be a standard

502
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,240
icon, it did struggle.

503
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:40,400
So for example, I asked it, six people holding hands in a circle icon to form the shape of

504
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,400
a light bulb.

505
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,000
And it just had no chance.

506
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,900
It did not do well at all, but it did try.

507
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:57,040
And so I think that for those people who had been trying to get those icon style outputs,

508
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,320
this might be a tool to play with and go and give a try to.

509
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,040
Yeah, I'll definitely check that one out.

510
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,360
It's also one that we're expecting to see as a piece of functionality in Firefly.

511
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:16,360
If you look at Firefly coming soon, it's one of the tools there, text to vector.

512
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,760
Yeah, because when we were having a play with Firefly, you could do some cool stuff with

513
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,720
their vector tool in the beta, but it was kind of limited.

514
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:29,160
And I do think when they roll that out into Photoshop, I'm expecting we'll see a huge

515
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,720
amount of extra power, because when you can actually edit those vectors in Adobe Illustrator

516
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:38,720
and do some of the things I'm talking about here, I think it will be cool.

517
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:45,200
So if I was going to be brutally honest, I'd say Recraft AI is free at the moment.

518
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,720
You can just create a login and go and have a play with it.

519
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,440
Maybe get some of the stuff that you want.

520
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:57,640
When this comes to Adobe Suite and you can do this in Illustrator, I think it's probably

521
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,480
going to fit most people's workflows a bit better.

522
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,720
Yeah, that sounds like a fair shout.

523
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,160
But definitely worth a play.

524
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,840
And I was impressed at how easy to use it is.

525
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,920
When you ask for your icon, it's a little bit like Mid Journey.

526
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,560
It gives you four or five options and then you can recraft, which is basically, I didn't

527
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,120
like the ones I got, go and have another go.

528
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,720
And yeah, I think certainly for graphic designers, I'd be having a play and see if it can speed

529
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,600
up your workflow.

530
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,160
And for small marketing teams, solo marketers that want to see if they can just produce

531
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,720
some novel icons quickly without having to go out to a designer, maybe it will help you

532
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,680
get some of the way that you need to go.

533
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,240
I haven't played with it enough to say how reliable the output is, but I think it's worth

534
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,240
having a play with.

535
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:50,120
Right, I think we'll leave it there, shall we, Martin, for another week?

536
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,880
Yeah, I think so.

537
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:59,960
I can just leave now and go and be sad about the series succession having come to an end.

538
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:04,480
I've been really enjoying that in recent weeks, but I have to find something new to watch

539
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,480
now.

540
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,640
Do you know, if it's not Derby County bringing you down now as its succession, have you seen

541
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,040
For All Mankind on the Apple TVs?

542
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,560
I have not.

543
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,040
I didn't think I was going to like it.

544
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:23,680
This is not what this podcast is about, apologies everyone, but it's an alternate history as

545
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,280
if the Russians got to the moon first and the space race that kicked off.

546
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,760
So it starts off at a point in time that's the same, if you like, as our history and

547
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,640
then it quickly diverges and then goes through time.

548
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,920
I'm only like six episodes in, but it's been really fascinating.

549
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,920
That's worth having a little look at.

550
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,200
And what's that called?

551
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,880
It's called For All Mankind, I think.

552
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:44,880
For All Mankind.

553
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,560
Cool, I'll check it out.

554
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,160
Right then, thanks always, Martin, for your time.

555
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,040
Always lovely and I will catch you next week.

556
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,080
