How To Create Images With AI

Before we start, check out our polls at the bottom of this newsletter!

In last week’s edition, we embarked on a thrilling adventure into the heart of Midjourney. We dove into beginner guides to get you started. This week, we're exploring the advanced frontiers of Midjourney.

But before we do, there's never a dull moment in the AI space, which brings us to Matt Wolfe. Matt is one of the main AI content creators who I follow because he provides weekly updates on the latest in AI news that are always insightful and easy to understand.

This week's AI news is packed with exciting updates! From OpenAI's new Code Interpreter to the launch of Claude 2, there's a lot to cover. This video explores the integration of AI capabilities into BeeHiiv's newsletter platform, Shutterstock's partnership with OpenAI, and the latest updates from Google Bard. Check it out below!

Do you recall our previous edition AI Battle Royale, who will win? In that edition, we featured an update about how Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg challenged each other to a cage fight.

Although not exactly AI related at the time, this week it is, as I stumbled upon a hilarious video by @ammaar on Twitter where he brought this billionaire boardroom standoff to life using ChatGPT’s new Code Interpreter!

Just another testament to the endless possibilities AI can bring to entertainment, as well as a sneak peek into ChatGPT’s Code Interpreter that we'll explore in future newsletters.

Also, featured this week, we’re taking last week’s Midjourney picture of Batman to the next level with ChatGPT’s Code Interpreter. Check it out below.

Curious to know how to bring images like these to life? You’ll have to tune in to future newsletters for more!
