✏️ AI Knowledge: Five Truths of Generative AI
Truth 1: Multi-Model is the Future
Enterprises are aggressively adopting multi-model strategies (image, text, audio, etc.).
Flexibility is key – avoid overreliance on a single model.
Prioritize use cases with longevity that outlast specific model trends.
Truth 2: Hybrid Cloud Deployment
Deployment must align with existing workflows, applications, and data locations.
Hybrid and multi-cloud environments offer adaptability, improved performance, and address security and compliance concerns.
Truth 3: Governance is Paramount
Mitigating bias, avoiding hallucinations, and ensuring explainability are mandatory.
Proactive monitoring and robust governance frameworks ensure responsible use.
Truth 4: Strategic Scaling for Maximum ROI
Use case selection is critical – focus on tasks with positive ROI potential.
Deployment choices (model type, hardware, etc.) significantly impact costs.
Identify areas where generative AI can drive meaningful innovation.
Truth 5: Data is the Foundation
The adage 'garbage in, garbage out' is especially true for generative AI.
High-quality, accessible, and secure data is essential for long-term success.
Mastering these five core principles will place you firmly at the forefront of the generative AI revolution, facilitating data-driven decision-making and driving significant business benefits.
🎯 “Create 10 awesome LinkedIn posts from transcripts” Prompt
[ATTACH OR PASTE YOUR TRANSCRIPT]
Based on the attached transcript file, I want you to write 10 LinkedIn posts using the "Hook-Contrarian-In Reality-Advice-Wrap" framework:
"Hook": 1 strong, declarative sentence to grab the readers attention. It must be less than 77 characters.
Example Hook 1: "If you are building a web3 company, remember this (If you don't want to die a slow death):"
Example Hook 2: "ChatGPT will kill 90% of creators. 5 interesting ways to stand out in 2023:"
Example Hook 3: "Most people suck at hook writing (me included)
Here's a powerful top that changed my content forever:"
Example Hook 4: "The number 1 reason LinkedIn Creators fail:They focus on learning, not executing."
"Contrarian": 1-2 sentences that call out a common misconception on the topic of the article and why it's not true, and then 1 sentence to transition into the "In Reality" part of the post. Shake up the readers worldview with a fact or idea they didn't expect. "In Reality": 1-2 sentences explaining a principle, concept, method, truth, or wisdom on the topic as opposed to "Contrarian" "Advice": 3-5 actionable bullet points of 3-6 words on how the "In reality" advice can be implemented. These should be valuable to the reader. "Wrap": 1 conclusive, strong sentence to sum up the post. Can be a statement, opinion, or question.
Here's an example of a post following the framework:
"Hook": Newsletters are dead, right?
"Contrarian": Wrong! Many assume newsletters are a relic of a bygone era, swamped by the rise of social media, but that's a misconception. It's not the newsletter medium that's failing; it's the outdated approach.
"In Reality": What works now is delivering value-driven content personalized to your reader's interest. A newsletter isn't about pushing your agenda; it's about serving your followers.
"Advice":
"Identify reader interests"
"Personalize your content"
"Provide actionable advice"
"Engage, don't sell"
"Consistency is key"
"Wrap": Want to turn followers into fans? Serve, don't sell. Are you up for the challenge?
Rules:
all your posts need to be based on the attached transcript
all your posts need to follow the tone of voice and language in the transcript💼 AI Jobs
