AI TUTORIAL
How To Do Inpainting in DALL-E 3
Start by clicking on your picture, then click “Select” mode.
Pick the part you want to change and talk to DALL-E to make changes.
To save your work, click the Save button in the top-right corner.
Here are some easy tips:
In the top-left corner, you can make the selection tool bigger or smaller to easily pick the part you want to change. It's best to pick a big area around the part for better changes.
Use the Undo and Redo buttons above the picture to fix mistakes, or hit Clear Selection to start all over.
You can add, take away, or change parts of your picture.
If your picture already has text, DALL-E won't let you add more (I tried many times and it didn't work), but you can change the text.

The 'Pixar-22 Storyteller' Prompt for Your Unforgettable Pitch
You're tasked with creating an engaging pitch for your business, aiming to capture attention, inspire action, and stand out in a crowded market.
Here's some background context on me and my online business:
[SHARE BUSINESS BACKGROUND]
The goal of the pitch is to [DEFINE YOUR PITCH OBJECTIVE].
Here's a basic outline of what I'm thinking for the pitch:
[PROVIDE PITCH STRUCTURE].
Let's apply Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling to enhance your pitch, with examples tailored to your business:
1. Show passion in overcoming challenges, not just successes.
2. Focus on what grabs your audience, not just what's fun to write.
3. Themes emerge at the end. Start with your story, refine later.
4. Simplify your message. "Once upon a time there was __. Every day, __. Until one day ___. And because of that ___. Until finally ___."
5. Streamline and focus your pitch. Less is more.
6. Highlight your unique challenges and how you're addressing them.
7. Start with the end in mind. What's your call to action?
8. Complete and share your pitch, even if it's not perfect.
9. Think outside the box. What wouldn't you normally include in a pitch?
10. Analyze pitches you admire. Incorporate what resonates with you.
11. Writing it down makes it real and editable.
12. Avoid the first, second, and even third ideas. Aim for originality.
13. Characters (you or your product) need strong viewpoints.
14. Why does your story need to be told? Find the passion.
15. Empathize with your characters' situations to build believability.
16. What are the stakes? Why should we care?
17. No effort is wasted. Unused ideas can inspire future projects.
18. Focus on testing ideas over endless refining.
19. Use coincidences to create problems, not solve them.
20. Rework a disliked pitch into something compelling.
21. Relate personally to your pitch. Authenticity sells.
22. Find the core of your pitch. What's the most concise way to tell it?
Now, by integrating these principles with specifics from your business, you'll craft not just a good pitch, but an unforgettable one that resonates deeply with your audience.AI JOBS
