(more…)A visual guide to AI for small businesses

Dan Andrews from Scribey Sense joined a recent Cool Ventures workshop on ‘AI in Business’ and distilled it into useful ‘Cliffs Notes’. Amazing! Thanks Dan.
If you need a complex subject (like AI) distilling into visual simplicity, you should look him up.
In the spirit of AI and summarisation I asked Chat GPT4 to summarise his image.
The image is a colorful and creative infographic that seems to be aimed at small business owners, providing insights into the utilization of AI (Artificial Intelligence). It presents information in a casual and engaging manner, with various sections such as “Think of AI like an Assistant,” “Pro’s & Cons,” “What’s This Mean For Creatives?” and “Tips.”
- Think of AI like an Assistant: This section emphasizes that AI can help unblock obstacles, encouraging getting started with coding to accelerate one’s ideas.
- Pro’s & Cons: It warns the users to beware as AI might make stuff up, suggesting it’s great for outlines but needs human intervention for refinement.
- What’s This Mean For Creatives?: It addresses creatives specifically, advising them to ingest their work into the AI, but also highlighting that AI needs substantial hardware support. It also touches upon logo design, suggesting that a human designer is essential to finish up or improve the start made by the AI.
- Tips: Various tips are provided, such as always reviewing the outputs, being specific with commands, and experimenting.
Throughout the infographic, there are playful illustrations and visuals to make the content more digestible and engaging.
