We just crossed 400 members, and I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who’s joined AI Bits & Pieces and helped shape what this space is becoming.🎉 This community was built on a simple idea: ✨AI is now a life skill. The goal here isn’t to chase tools or trends. It’s to build real understanding and practical fluency. So AI can be applied thoughtfully in everyday life, work, and business. As the community continues to grow, you’ll see more relevant content as we learn more about member preferences. That said, content is only one part of what makes this community work. 🤝 Just as important are the contributors who consistently show up and share real work — including open build journeys like @Holger Peschke 30-day RAG build, and @Matthew Sutherland, who consistently adds deeper insight and context to our content. @Muskan Ahlawat and @Judith Vanegas also deserve recognition for their consistent encouragement and thoughtful engagement. 🏆 Community Leaderboard To recognize members who have made meaningful contributions through participation, learning, and engagement — thank you for showing up. 1. @Frank van Bokhorst 2. @Holger Peschke 3. @Muskan Ahlawat 4. @Matthew Sutherland 5. @Dena Dion 6. @Judith Vanegas 7. @Jason Hagen 8. @Dorota Mleczko 9. @Usman Mohammed 10. @Roger Richards And new contributors: @Glenn Marcus and @Reynoso Anubis for their in-depth posts and videos that inspire and encourage us pursue new AI goals and applications.

We gave AI Bits & Pieces logo a little visual refresh. It stands out a bit more. And honestly… we think it’s fun. Total marketing effort? We asked our daughter which one she liked better. She picked this one. Bingo — new logo. You’ll start seeing it everywhere.

Hey everyone! I officially turn 42 today! Instead of taking the day off, I decided to over-engineer the celebration. I’ve built an automation (n8n workflow attached 📸) that turns your birthday wishes into a live "Model Benchmarking" experiment. THE EXPERIMENT: I want to know—once and for all—which model is currently king of creative interpretation: Open AI GPT Image 1.5 or Google Gemini Nano Banana Pro I have set up a Telegram bot that takes your wish, randomly assigns it an art style (Cyberpunk, Studio Ghibli, Royal, etc.), and runs it through both models simultaneously. 👇 HOW TO PLAY (The Blind Test): 1. Click here to start the bot: CLICK HERE - CLICK HERE FOR TELEGRAM WEB 2. Send a creative wish. (The weirder the better! Try "I wish you a cake made of pure energy" or "I wish you a year of infinite GPU credits"). 3. The bot will reply with 2 distinct images generated from your wish. 4. COME BACK HERE and post a screenshot of the results in the comments! The Challenge: Post your result and tell us: Which model won? (The top image or the bottom image?) 🎁 THE COMMUNITY GIFT: If this post gets enough traction, I'll drop the workflow blueprint in the comments tomorrow! I’m paying for the API credits myself as a birthday treat, so go test the bot, but take it easy! Let’s see which model hallucinates better. 🤖🎨

Real quick question — what email platform do you mostly use? I’m shaping upcoming classroom content and want the examples to line up with how you really work, not just theory. Thanks for taking a second to vote 👍

I just reached level 4! Thanks @Michael Wacht for this great community!
