Team - My husband pointed me to a cool article on Medium (https://medium.com/@oxair/how-to-make-chatgpt-write-its-own-perfect-prompts-193a424b1a98) that described a technique for making prompts stronger and better tailored to your needs! Since a raccoon's antics have blown away the Internet, I thought I could test this with a custom GPT and a picture of a whiskey-loving raccoon. So, with this prompt, I asked ChatGPT to give me a picture of that rascally bandit using: "I need a cartoon image of a raccoon that looks photorealistic. The raccoon is drinking a whiskey cocktail." The first image is what it produced. Nothing wrong with it, but it certainly lacks a bit of depth and character. So, then I changed my prompt a bit to trigger the new GPT: "My requirement is to generate a cartoon image of a raccoon that looks photorealistic. The raccoon is drinking a whiskey cocktail." In a flash, ChatGPT provided me with a new prompt ready for cut and paste (especially if you want to use a different engine like Gemini - as Igor pointed out): "A photorealistic cartoon-style raccoon sitting at a small wooden table, holding a whiskey cocktail in a clear glass tumbler with large ice cubes. The raccoon has detailed, lifelike fur texture, expressive eyes, and subtle soft lighting that enhances realism while keeping a stylized, charming cartoon vibe. The background should be simple and warm-toned to keep focus on the raccoon. The whiskey should appear amber-colored and slightly reflective, with condensation on the glass. The raccoon is sipping the drink through a straw, posed naturally, giving a playful but realistic impression. Highly detailed, sharp, lifelike lighting, rich textures, soft depth of field." I added soft cinematic lighting and a slightly mischievous expression, and the second image is what ChatGPT generated! Nano Bannana (the Gemini tool shown by Igor) came up with a fun interpretation, too! That is the third one.

Please see an update for me this morning in the comments. This disaster is going to make me a much better founder. I got up at 3:45 AM today to begin rebuilding my company. Original post follows: I’m standing here writing this in tears, and I want to give a very sobering warning to anyone who is considering upgrading from ChatGPT plus to a business Team’s account on ChatGPT. There is a a glitch that was unknown to me before I started this process, but is apparently well known in the open AI developer community that all of your data is deleted when you migrate it and you can’t get it back. Everything I’ve been building for months is just …. Gone. Other than what I had saved and backed up in my personal files, my entire ChatGPT history has been zeroed out, and it really hurts because this was like my external brain for both home and my business that I’m building. Open AI acknowledged that their company documentation failed to include a warning that all of my personal data would be deleted and everything that I have been working on since day one in my accounts has been deleted, and there’s nothing I can do to get it back even though I followed their exact instructions on merging my personal and business accounts, to the letter. I just paid $618 to upgrade my account to two seats on a business plan and merged the data from my personal account to my business plan. Within a minute or two of that transaction going through as I was following the step-by-step worksheet that ChatGPT itself printed out for me. My accounts froze, and I had to log out. I logged back in everything was blank. When I used my previous emails that I had my accounts tied to to log back in ChatGPT opened free tier accounts using my business email that I just paid $618 to open my business account on. I’ve escalated this to ChatGPT Support and they were extremely unhelpful. Basically they said sorry it’s a known issue and there’s nothing we can do. I was planning on shipping a product today using the ChatGPT business plan because it offers a secure link so that I’m not sending out raw proprietary JSON code.

Hello, just arrived...I'm The Forever Landlord and love making AI automations to help DIY landlords, stuff that makes self-management easier! I currently have a self-hosted n8n and I like to use Grok with my X ai api when building my n8n workflows. When I see everyone using ChatGPT, I like to be different. lol I'm currently interested in Anything. Wondering if anyone here is using it and what they think. I've use lovable but heard Anything is better. In you got any input, will you share your feedback? 4Δ 𝓡𝓮𝓷𝓮 💪

I got a message from one of our colleagues, a gentleman with a complicated combination of names, one of them starting with S. He was messaging me about making money with AI, which of course is a subject of interest. While trying to open the message, with trembling hands, it disappeared. There was only a prompt that the message was deleted?!? If I was the “author”, it wasn’t intentional. I don’t know if we can check messages that were deleted, or how to find that nice person, and ask for a replay. Does anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please? Spoiler alert, I do not have a WhattsApp account.
