I'd like to get some recommendations from this community on where to start with AI and eventually monetize that skill. I'm part of several AI communities, and each is pushing its own agenda, tactics, and tools, which is overwhelming. What I like about this community is the marketing aspect of using AI. So, let's say I'm looking to help other businesses with that and other things that AI can do. What should be my starting point?

I'm a techie, not a marketer. It looks like that needs to change. Did I come to the right place?

Hi everyone, After yesterday's call I went digging into the Opus 5 thing, because I wanted to know if it was just us. It isn't. The complaints are everywhere, GitHub issues with actual measurements, a thread on Hacker News, and even Anthropic's own status page has an incident open for it. Plenty of people are finding Opus 5 worse than Opus 4.8 in day to day work, even though the benchmarks say it should be fine. So a practical thought rather than a moan. ChatGPT is worth using at the moment to cover the things Opus is fumbling. And if you have both in VS Code you get the best of both worlds anyway, you can run them side by side and pick whichever does the job better on the day. I use more than one model as standard for second opinions on my own work, and weeks like this are exactly why. These dips do tend to get looked at and fixed, so I'd treat it as an adjustment for right now, not a reason to switch camps. Anyone else noticed particular tasks where it's got worse? Would be useful to compare notes.

Hello everyone, I am glad to find such a great community and all the post I've read do far were adding so much value. I have a question on LinkedIn and AI. 1) Has anyone experienced any penalisation when using Claude on Chrome - my idea is to research suitable posts to comment on as a daily skill, but also research suitable connections to my ICP through Sales navigator. The comments and invitations would be done manually. 2) Has anyone experience any penalisations when using scheduling tools ie Blotato. I am not planning to do anything in scale -we are talking maybe 10-15 comments a day and 5- 10 connections a day, but I wouldn't want to make any enemies 😈 Happy to hear how else you are using AI on LinkedIn as I am trying to be more active and grow my network. 🙏

Welcome to everyone who's joined recently, good to have you here. If you want to just read for a bit before you post anything, that's fine, most of us did that. The good stuff is in the replies though, so jump in whenever. Here's something I've been reading up on. AI is starting to just name a source, rather than give you ten links to wade through. Yelp has licensed its reviews, photos and business data to OpenAI, so ChatGPT can now recommend actual businesses with current ratings. That was late July, and they've since added booking, so you can reserve a table without leaving the chat. The IAB, the trade body for the digital advertising industry, has also put out the first proper standard for measuring how visible your brand is inside AI tools. Measuring Visibility in the AI Era, out on 3 August. So the target has moved. It used to be ranking on Google. Now it's being the thing the AI names when someone asks. One caveat though, and it's a big one. There are already more than twenty companies selling AI visibility tools, and they all measure it differently, so you can get different answers for the same brand. That's the IAB's own finding and it's why they bothered writing the standard. Only about one in six brands is even tracking this yet. So if someone offers you an "AI visibility score" this year, ask how they worked it out before you believe it. Two questions. 1.Has anyone here seen their own content cited or summarised by ChatGPT or Gemini? And are you doing anything deliberate to make that happen, or is it still down to luck? 2. And if you have seen it, did it get you right? I'd like to know whether these things are citing people properly or just roughly.
