    I try to work AI use into everything. The stuff the team at Hotspex is building right now is like MAGIC ... I can't believe this stuff is even possible ... and then it gets what feels like exponentially better weeks later?!!? What a world. Where wil be in 2, 5, 10 years??! More on that when it's ready ... in the meantime one of my fave OPEN AI demos was a blind man using AI to hail a cab, to see what the ducks are doing in front of him, basically using AI to massively improve his life. I have stopped five blind people in the past few months with their care givers to tell them THIS is coming! One of them knew of something like it, two didn't understand me, and three are super excited to use it when available! Why wait though?!?! I tried to see if I could program my iphone to use the Action Key to send a photo to GPT and then read me what it saw ... its totally possible! I spent about an hour trying to code it then got stuck ... so I Googled and found a shortcut called OH YEAH that somebody programmed ... you can get on the link below and then have the Iphone 15 ACTION KEY trigger it ... it describes what's in the photo VERY well. GPT would be better and I'm sure that will be avail online in the coming months. Menus, bus stops, street signs, landmarks, wardrobes, etc. Perhaps you know a visually impaired person who would like to have some extra data about what they are missing. https://lnkd.in/gVZE-e25
