Here's what you can do (quickly and easily) with Adobe's AI tools for Photoshop. https://lnkd.in/gM9H8yGr

FOR UK AUDIENCE ONLY: I've got 23 Audible versions of my book 60 Days to LinkedIn Mastery to give away. All I ask is that you leave an honest review on Audible when you're done. First 23 people to comment below saying they want it, I'll send you the code to get it. BTW, if you're in the US and you've never used Audible before then you can get my book for free when you sign up here 👇

The promise of AI is that you will be limited only by your ideas, rather than your technical skills. Our COO at MWI, Michelle Payne, has a background in website development, with an emphasis on dev rather than design. As she recently put it herself when referring to the extent of her Photoshop skills, "I can crop an image beautifully." However, with the new Photoshop AI tools, she was able to successfully edit a photo in seconds that would normally take an expert the better part of an hour. All she had to do was tell Photoshop what she wanted, it understood her, and it executed the task perfectly. Multiply that experience dozens of times each month, and we're talking about potentially an entire week's worth of hours saved, not to mention being able to compress overall timelines to get projects finished. I have a book coaching client who hunts and pecks to type. He also didn't know how to structure a book, so he hired a ghostwriter so he could talk his book and the ghostwriter could type it in and write it out, the right way. In the not-so-distant future, AI will be his ghostwriter. It will know what questions to ask, will be able to analyze his voice, and will also analyze books my client likes and bestselling books to create a book that is expertly written yet uniquely my client's perspective. I suspect the services of a human ghostwriter will still be needed for oversight, at least at first, but rather than taking from a ghostwriter this will simplify the work of a ghostwriter so they can take on more clients, charge less, and yet make more. The ability to write, whether it's the ability to type or to put words together in an effective book format, will no longer be the limiting factor. Some people are scared about what AI means for future job security. Don't be scared. Be excited. AI is going to do the boring part of your job, leaving only the fun part for you. You'll be able to do more with the same amount of time and if you apply yourself, you'll get paid more, much more, because you'll produce more value. There are no limits. There's no maximum capacity of AI-enabled workers the world can handle. The more the better, because it will increase the standard of living for everyone. The size of the pie will grow. Good times are ahead. #ai #work #futureofwork

This was written in 2005. Does it still apply in the age of AI? "The more disconcerting thing about the notion of effortless perfection is that effort is the point of the exercise, of any exercise at all, from push-ups to poetry. Oh, there are times when I wish the 350-page text of a novel would just miraculously appear, without typos, run-on sentences, or the telltale smell of creative desperation. But what exactly would that be, a novel, or a paper, or a poem, or even a legal brief or a syllabus, that appears magically from the lamp of "I wish"? Perhaps we will find out someday soon, with the rise of the computer. Perhaps we will be able to read something over which a real person has not sweated and sworn; perhaps we will find out precisely what the thing lacks that only effort can confer. Is it soul? Passion? Vivid reality? If I had to guess, I would say it would be all three." (Being Perfect, pp. 29-32) #ai #creative #writing

What are your favorite books, videos, articles, podcast episodes, etc. about how to educate children, or how children (or adults) learn? For example, there's Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk "Do schools kill creativity?" (the most popular TED talk ever), or Unschooled by Kerry McDonald, or Dumbing Us Down by John Gatto, or The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle, or the recent podcast "How Emotions & Social Factors Impact Learning" between Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, EdD and Andrew Huberman. What would you add to this list? #schools #education #learning

If you're in CRE (commercial real estate), one of my book coaching clients, Rob Finlay, CPM®, just launched his new book (today) about how to apply modern tactics of innovation to what has traditionally been a somewhat stodgy industry. I could actually use your help building up Rob's reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. If you're into CRE (or would like to be) and the book looks like something that would be helpful for you, I'd appreciate you buying a copy and leaving an honest review. I'd link to the book but LinkedIn hates links in posts, so to find it go search for "rob finlay beyond the building" on Amazon or BN and it will pop right up. Thanks! #CRE #commercialrealestate #realestate #bookcoach
