Transcripts

00:00

2023 is undoubtedly

00:01

the year of the explosion of

00:02

AI applications . Whether it is text, image or sound generation , there has

00:05

been great progress. However, many people should have

00:06

discovered that after using it for a while,

00:08

there is a problem

00:08

. These tools are actually very useful

00:10

in life or work. There is nothing wrong with using

00:12

it

00:13

. ChatGPT does look very smart

00:14

and the writing seems to be stylish.

00:16

But if you look carefully

00:17

, the whole article is not very usable.

00:18

It is bluffing and can be easily discovered

00:20

. Otherwise, it is what it writes. You have to check it repeatedly

00:22

and it cannot be used at all.

00:23

You are right.

00:24

Those AI image-generating tools are also very powerful.

00:26

They can generate pictures like photos.

00:28

However, for ordinary people,

00:29

apart from entertaining themselves,

00:31

they don’t seem to be used in daily life.

00:34

We have them today. Let’s take a look at

00:35

the AI ​​tools I introduced last year.

00:37

What are the remaining

00:38

AI tools that I actually use?

00:41

First of all, the first one I want to talk about

00:42

is ChatGPT

00:43

. I will tell you

00:44

that I am actually using it now. In

00:46

fact, I don’t use it every day,

00:48

I just use it once in a while

00:49

, and my main uses are divided into four parts:

00:51

the first is to come up with topics,

00:53

the second is to modify grammar

00:55

, and the third is to write English appointments or It's a letter or message

00:58

of inquiry.

00:59

The fourth one is occasionally asking him some knowledge questions.

01:01

Well, first of all, let's talk about the topic and thinking part.

01:04

I think this part is if you

01:06

need creative thinking

01:08

or doing something at work today. It will be very useful for decision-making.

01:10

I will mention why

01:12

the theme idea is not that

01:13

I want to make a video today

01:14

and let him decide the theme.

01:16

He is not that smart yet.

01:17

I mainly use it to help me check some of

01:19

my Unexpected points or corners.

01:21

For example, I will write a

01:23

script or article about a hair dryer today

01:25

. I may have thought of ten

01:26

key points that I can talk about about the hair dryer

01:28

, such as its appearance,

01:29

its price, advantages and disadvantages, etc. Are you waiting?

01:31

I

01:32

wrote this article today entirely from

01:34

the perspective of girls using hair dryers,

01:36

but completely ignored

01:38

the perspective of boys using hair dryers or stylists using hair dryers.

01:41

So at this time,

01:41

I will use ChatGPT to check

01:43

, for example He said that I would ask him

01:44

what matters

01:45

the average person would pay attention to when buying a hair dryer

01:47

, or which groups of people mainly buy hair dryers.

01:49

What different points would these groups pay attention to

01:53

? I would use it to double-check

01:54

what I wrote. The unnoticed corner cuts and viewpoints

01:57

make my articles and scripts more complete.

01:59

Then I won’t use what he wrote

02:01

directly as the content of my article

02:03

, but I will use it to think about some structures, etc.

02:05

That’s why I If your work today

02:07

requires creative thinking

02:08

or decision-making,

02:09

you can use ChatGPT to find a third-party perspective

02:11

, and there will be a lot of unexpected gains.

02:13

Then the second usage that I really use

02:15

is Checking English grammar

02:17

is because today English is not my mother tongue at all,

02:19

so if I want to write any English content now,

02:22

I will type it out myself first

02:23

and then throw it into ChatGPT to check it

02:25

and then rewrite it again.

02:27

I will also Read it again

02:28

to see if there are any errors in its semantics

02:29

. Then the third point is very similar to the second point.

02:31

I will use ChatGPT to write some letters

02:33

or messages for appointments or inquiries.

02:35

For example, say you are going abroad today,

02:37

and you may If you need to make a reservation at a restaurant or restaurant

02:39

or ask them something,

02:41

you can tell ChatGPT

02:43

what kind of letter you want to write today

02:44

and what the content will be

02:45

. Because most of the letters it writes,

02:47

you will find that it is too formal

02:49

or it If there is too much nonsense,

02:50

then you can make it more concise at this time,

02:52

especially if it is like sending a message.

02:54

You can also specify it

02:55

within a few words

02:56

to make it more direct to the point. Then

02:59

the fourth usage is query. Knowledge:

03:01

At this time, you will say

03:02

, isn't ChatGPT made up by itself?

03:04

So there is a proviso here,

03:05

that is, this knowledge must

03:07

be a very certain fact

03:09

before you can check it.

03:10

That is, you know that this problem must have a correct file.

03:13

There won’t be any second explanation for this kind of question.

03:15

For example, I wanted to check a question before, which is whether

03:18

the optic nerve passes through the forehead.

03:20

There will definitely be a definite answer to

03:22

this question. So when I went to Google using the normal search method,

03:24

I You may click on many web pages

03:26

, and those web pages will not directly tell you the answer.

03:28

They may tell you the answer after a long detour,

03:30

so I feel very annoyed.

03:31

Then I use ChatGPT to ask this question

03:33

and it will tell me the answer immediately.

03:34

So for a question like this that already has a definite answer

03:36

and is not too modern,

03:38

I think it is no problem to ask it.

03:39

The above four

03:40

are the usage of ChatGPT that I am still using.

03:43

If you have any more fun methods

03:44

, you are welcome. Leave a message below

03:45

to share with me.

03:46

Next, the second

03:47

AI tool I want to introduce

03:49

is Photoshop

03:50

. This is my most commonly used tool, which

03:52

actually surprises me

03:53

because I thought it would be difficult to use

03:55

. I think the reason why Photoshop is very useful

03:56

and commonly used

03:57

is because you already know this tool.

03:59

It is just an additional expansion function.

04:01

The first usage that I use very often

04:02

is to expand photos.

04:04

Why expand photos?

04:05

It’s because I usually make covers.

04:07

Do you know that

04:08

when making covers, don’t you have to add some words or patterns?

04:10

Then my face may be blocked by these words.

04:13

If I want to move my photo

04:15

to the side,

04:16

It is necessary to generate a blank part next to me.

04:18

Photoshop is very easy to use for this part,

04:20

so I often

04:21

use it to generate backgrounds

04:23

. These backgrounds are usually very clean

04:25

and simple, and

04:25

no one will notice them

04:26

. The generated effect is very It ’s very good.

04:28

In addition to expanding photos,

04:30

it is also very useful to remove objects.

04:32

For example , you can use Photoshop

04:34

’s AI to remove passers-by

04:36

or unnecessary debris

04:37

in your photos

04:38

. And I must say that

04:38

Photoshop is Among the similar functions

04:40

I have used so far, it is the best

04:42

because I have used Canva

04:44

or Meitu Xiuxiu.

04:46

Their functions are actually similar

04:47

. You can remove passers-by and so on.

04:49

Canva and Meitu Xiuxiu, the effect is actually not bad

04:51

, but if you don’t look at it very carefully,

04:53

it’s actually OK.

04:54

And I think this part is currently limited to

04:56

relatively simple background generation

04:58

or item removal

04:59

, but if you want to add some new ones today, For example

05:01

, if there is a flower in your hand

05:02

or an extra ball, it

05:04

may be unnatural.

05:05

When it comes to image generation,

05:06

we have to talk about the third

05:07

AI tool that I still use today

05:09

. Midjourney

05:10

I don’t know if you have noticed

05:11

that in the past year,

05:12

there have actually been a lot of

05:14

image-generating applications around you.

05:16

Here are a few examples.

05:17

The first and most common one is

05:19

YouTube cover generation.

05:20

Many YouTubers

05:21

have begun to use AI to generate images. Make a cover

05:23

like Lao Gao

05:24

or X Survey (there are many in the video

05:25

, and it’s not just the cover.

05:26

He may also use AI to generate

05:28

some diagrams in the video to make pictures

05:30

. You see, YouTubers like us in the past

05:32

wanted to use pictures. Always

05:33

pay great attention to copyright issues.

05:34

Either you have to spend money to buy copyrighted pictures

05:36

, or you must make sure that

05:37

the picture does not have copyright before you can use it.

05:39

But now these problems are gone .

05:41

AI is fully customized

05:43

. It’s super imaginative content

05:45

that can be customized for you. It

05:46

’s super convenient

05:47

and very cheap.

05:48

Some tools even help you generate it for free.

05:50

The second

05:52

example of AI-generated images that

05:53

appears around us is advertising

05:55

. One day I When watching the news,

05:56

you all know that

05:58

there may be advertisements next to the news.

05:59

Then I saw an advertisement.

06:01

The picture was generated using AI

06:03

because the girl on it

06:04

and the face of the passerby behind him. (I can’t find that picture now)

06:06

They look exactly the same.

06:07

This was the shortcoming of the previous AI,

06:10

so I saw it immediately

06:11

. For example, on Instagram,

06:12

there are many ads now, which are

06:13

small games made in China.

06:15

The quality is

06:16

like The picture quality is not very good.

06:17

Many promotional pictures

06:17

or advertising pictures

06:19

for mini-games

06:20

are now generated using AI.

06:22

So these examples

06:23

just now were made using Midjourney.

06:24

I don’t know

06:24

, but Midjourney

06:25

is really becoming more and more popular now. The better I am at making photos

06:27

, because later I thought about

06:28

it and discovered that real photos must have flaws

06:30

and imperfections.

06:31

And in the latest version V6,

06:33

the pictures or photos they produce

06:35

will actually have a little bit of flaws or imperfections,

06:37

so they won’t be like before. The pictures are so perfect

06:40

that they look fake.

06:41

So are I actually using Midjourney

06:42

?

06:43

Sometimes YouTube covers

06:44

are generated using Midjourney

06:45

, and most of

06:46

the content on Instagram

06:48

is more schematic-like.

06:49

You can use Midjourney to generate it

06:51

because a few days ago I had

06:52

a photo of it used to make a Christmas tree

06:54

, and it really looked like a Christmas tree taken on the streets of Tokyo.

06:56

I was really surprised

06:58

that the effect was so good that it looked

06:59

like a real photo

07:00

, so this part is You can also refer to

07:02

the production of some content that you can use.

07:05

What about the V6 model of Midjourney?

07:07

We will make another video specifically about it.

07:09

I thought it would be boring at first

07:10

, but then I went to see the official statements.

07:12

I found it quite interesting

07:13

and there are some points worthy of your attention. I

07:15

originally didn’t want to make that video

07:17

because I wanted to say it’s almost the same as the previous ones

07:19

, but I think I could talk about it a little bit

07:20

. So the above

07:21

is the AI ​​I’m still using now. Tools

07:23

I don’t know which tools you are currently using.

07:26

Feel free to leave a message below to share with me

07:27

. That’s it for today’s video.

07:28

We’ll see you in the next video.

07:30

Bye bye.
