🧠 News: Is Journalism dead? Google test out AI journalists.
Read Time: 4 minutes
Our Report: Google is testing out an AI tool—Genesis—that can write news articles by absorbing information & details on current events before producing original articles.
🔑 Key Points:
Google is testing Genesis currently & pitched it as a product to The New York Times.
Google is not the only company working on AI-generated news articles. Other companies, such as Microsoft and OpenAI, are also developing similar technologies.
AI-generated news articles have the potential to revolutionize the way news is produced and consumed. However, there are also some concerns about the potential for bias and misinformation in AI-generated content.
🤨 Why you should care:
AI-generated news articles can make news more accessible and affordable (no more pesky paywalled articles), although there’s also huge potential for bias and misinformation in AI-generated content.

🗣️ Speechify
Speechify is an AI-powered text-to-speech app that helps you read more efficiently by turning your PDF’s, Word Documents and study notes into audio files.
🔑 Key Features:
Reads aloud any text: Speechify can read aloud any text, including PDFs, articles, and web pages (also supports a variety of languages and accents).
Adjustable speed: Speechify allows you to adjust the speed of the text-to-speech, so you can read at a pace that's comfortable for you. 1.7x is my favorite for learning.
Natural-sounding voices: Speechify uses natural-sounding voices that make it easy to listen to for long periods of time.
💪 Challenge yourself:
Try reading a PDF aloud: If you're new to Speechify, start by reading a PDF aloud.
Adjust the speed of the text-to-speech: Once you're comfortable with Speechify, try adjusting the speed of the text-to-speech. 1.7x is the sweet spot for me.

(great for entrepreneurs)
“Offer a comprehensive guide to small business financing options, including loans, grants, and equity financing.

What business do you operate?

Where do you live?
How much funding are you looking for?
How quickly are you looking to raise funding?
Ultimately I want you to develop a holistic plan based upon my needs & requirements.”

This feature, currently in beta, helps tailor ChatGPT's responses based on user specifications, such as “always keep responses under 1000 words” or “keep the tone of the response formal”
