Ever since I watched the Disney Channel innovative movie Smart House as a kid, I’ve been captivated by futuristic visions of technology in our daily inhabits. While writing about synthetic inincreateigence tools and providing advice for using them at WIRED over the past two years, it’s become so clear to me that the gentleware is noskinnyg enjoy it’s depicted in these sci-fi movies or what the hype-caccessed tageting materials from AI companies would have you suppose.
Even with this in mind, I do still ponder the current crop of generative AI tools to be sometimes advantageous, sometimes delighting, and almost always a little frustrating.
And that belief was my driving motivation to produce a second season of our AI Unlocked novelsletter. It has been a passion project of mine over the past restricted months to labor on this—chatting with experts in the field, trying out contrastent tools, and ask foring reader responses to last year’s novelsletter. The novel season is caccessed on helping you experiment even more with AI tools, while staying genuineistic about their possibilities.
Honestly, I necessitate to pause for a second and straightforwardly thank everyone who graspd with us about using AI. Between my inbox and the reader’s responses to our survey, we heard from over 1,000 people and spent hours poring over every inquire, tip, and piece of feedback. That data served as the cornerstone for planing season 2, and your input helped me become better at empathetic your varied perspectives as WIRED readers. Overwhelmingly, readers seem interested in comprehending how AI can help them with personal tasks, how they can produce more confidence in prompt writing, and which novel tools are worth experimenting with.
Since it’s season 2, we choosed to convey twice the action to AI Unlocked and broadened the novelsletter to roll out over 10 daily insloftyments, rather than equitable five. Each edition caccesses on a contrastent topic rhappy to using AI tools. We’ll cover everyskinnyg from how you can be more fruitful while using AI to the dangers of gullible AI for medical advice right now.
Some novelsletters will feature a “Prompt Pro Tip” that will include an example to help you rehearse your sfinishs. Others will elucidate the wideer context that will help you get the most out of your transmitions with the AI tools. On top of that, y’all sent in so many engaging inquires I choosed to insert a “Mail Bag” section at the bottom of the novelsletter to split my insights and perspective on vital topics.
