Hey Prompt Entrepreneur,

So… you probably heard about the new ChatGPT imageGen model this week.

Pretty hard to miss it to be honest: everyone became a Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro) character this week.

We can take a (poorly taken!!) photo like this:

And flip it into Ghibli style no problem:

Even Sam Altman (head of OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT) jumped in:

What’s the big deal? What’s really different?

Well…the new image model is good. Very very GOOD.

We’re moving toward true multi-modal (text, imagery, audio, video) where the models can roll different modes together.

The model can now reliably do text. And bring elements from reality into its generations. And maintain character consistency.

But more than all this it’s nailed certain aspects of image generation that make it very helpful for us as entrepreneurs.

We basically have an on-call graphic designer.

Let’s take that image from above and make some assets for our business.

Let’s throw in another element - a book I’m reading at the moment:

Again - not a professional photo - complex cover, text, taken at an angle etc.

I’m going to keep it in Ghibli style so I don’t have to keep seeing my face ha!

Cool, now a Youtube Thumbnail:

Solid. Now a cover image for a TikTok/Instagram/LinkedIn carousel:

We are, as the youth like to say, cooking.

These are all one shot. No edits. No photoshop. With super basic prompts like “make it Ghibli” and “now make it a Youtube thumbnail”.

And the model rolls with it.

If you haven’t used it yet I highly recommend giving it a shot. We can do a lot with it in our business.

Next week specifically I’m going to talk about a particular use I’ve been working on:

We’re going to be making comics and visual explainers for our business! FUN!

Also: the AI Automation Accelerator (with Brand Nat) is nearly ready. We’re got 1,200+ people in the waitlist and we’re hoping to send out final details this coming week.

Not on the list? Here’s the link:

OK! Onto the Playbook:
