AI Discussion & Workflows

I wanted to share this for anyone making content that needs music and you don't want to worry about copyright. Treblo is the best option I have found and it is actually free. A lot of AI music sites will say they are free but strongly limit your ability to make music. This one doesn't and it is fairly easy to use. You just have to make sure you do the prompts correctly. There are videos on YouTube that show you how to get the kind of music sound or feel you want.

AI is improving every day and we are seeing it being used more and more. With the release of Tesla's self-driving taxis along side the already established Waymo (Google) ones, I can see businesses like Uber being pushed out of the market. Fast food chains are already replacing people with AI ordering systems and some have branched out into making fully AI systems for making the food too. I have my concerns because I work in a sector that has already laid off some people do to AI being able to do their work faster, better, and obviously cheaper for the company. As things advance, what other jobs could we see being replaced with AI systems?

I only just discovered the site but it appears to not only let you buy prompts for LLMs but sell them yourself. I think for anyone that could figure this out, it could be a good side-hustle and a way to earn passive income. I am not entirely sure how to create prompts but looking through what others had made and are selling, a lot of it looks really good. I am shocked!

I have seen people do it and it is pretty impressive. I am wanting to give this a try and see what I can come up with. I would love to be able to make a few of them and stick ads on them to make some passive income but I am not entirely sure where to start. What should my approach be for something like this?

There are aspects of it that I don't like but I see the benefits outweighing the risks and issues. So I don't really have strong feelings about it. It is going to be a part of our lives moving forward whether we like it or not. It reminds of the mid to late '90s when people were talking about the internet. Saying it was a waste of time. Others saying it was dangerous. People talking about it taking jobs away. Everything they are saying about AI now and look where we are with it all these years later!

I know on X a lot of people tend to complain about AI generated stuff unless you put your own spin/creative talent into it. On Instagram, people care a lot less and you can actually get a good amount of interactions using AI content. My question is, are there any ways that AI can actually help my social media accounts? Or should I mostly avoid it as to not lose followers?

In terms of posting social media platforms, I am curious if this is something that can help or hurt me. I have read mixed things about doing this, especially with built-in AI systems. Like for example, YouTube's built-in AI suggestion system ends up screwing over content creators. I am not sure if this is worth doing or not so I figured I would ask here.

I noticed there was a lot of job listings prior to 2020. There was always someone looking to hire people to work from their home offices. After the pandemic hit, a lot of people ended up working from home anyways. But since AI took off and became mainstream, it seems like a lot of freelance and remote work disappeared. Unless you are working for yourself, your options are few and far between. Did anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I am talking about the captions. I see this a lot on social media but I am not sure how people are doing it. I would imagine most if not all are using AI but every time I find an AI platform that provides it, they either charge a fee, require you to sign up and limit your usage, or it gets watermarked. I am certain there has to be a free one without all this mess in the way.

This might be a hot take but this is how I feel. I run a number of socials and have some websites. I have been fairly successful in that I was able to earn a living from the comfort of my home, working around 4 hours a day. Since around 2022, I saw everything going down. Revenue, traffic, views, followers, interactions, sales, etc. etc. I am somewhat of a jack of all trades when it comes to earning online so I was able to shift things around to make up for losses but I still took a sizable hit. The only thing I can see changing everything this drastically and all at once is AI. I know this is around the time when everyone started using it. Companies started putting it in…

I noticed on all social media platforms including ones like YouTube and Reddit, there is AI content being pumped into them every day. A lot of it is low-quality stuff too. The issue is that because it can be generated so fast, it is taking over platforms. Any time I search for anything on YouTube, X, Reddit, ect. Ever other result seems to have AI involved. For people that rely on social media for their business or income stream, how do you compete with this? Can you use AI to compete with AI?

I am working on a new site and need a logo for it. I usually make one myself or hire someone to make one for me but it seems like people are charging a lot more these days for logos. I am considering using AI and seeing what it could come up with but I don't know if this is a good or bad idea.

It seems like a lot of people default to ChatGPT and I have been using it, and I like it... But I want to see what other options are out there. I am sure there are probably better AI models for what I am looking to do. Even if I have to use a few of them for different things, I am okay with that. There are just so many now that I don't even know where to look or start. Ideally, I find one that can do everything I need but I am okay, like I said, with using a few different ones if I have to.

It seems AI is very much the future but how much of it will we be using? I am not sure. I know they used to say the internet would never catch on and here we are. They were wrong about that. People are saying the same thing now about AI but all the money is painting a different picture. Just like back when the internet was new, big names were putting all sorts of money into it. I am seeing the same thing with AI. So I am wondering how can someone like me stay ahead of the trends and know where things are going?

So I was thinking about this. My traffic dropped off massively on my sites around the same time. I have tried several things to fix it but nothing has. I know AI has been around longer than just the last few years. People have been using it online since at least 2012 I would say. Is there a chance that the traffic I was getting wasn't real but some form of AI the entire time? I mean I know real people were behind some of it but it just seems weird that it suddenly just all disappears.

Looking back at your freelance journey, what is one tool you wish you had found in year one instead of year five? The one that would have saved you the most time, money, or stress?

I have a client who is 30 days late on a $3,000 invoice. I have sent two reminders. They respond with "soon" but no payment. How do you chase payment without damaging the relationship? Or should I not care about the relationship?

I have tried Trello, Asana, Monday, Notion, and ClickUp. Each has strengths. Each has flaws. What do you actually use to manage client projects without spending more time managing than doing?

I’ve got a trading setup in mind but don’t want to spend ages testing it manually. Has anyone used an AI tool that can analyze a strategy and break down the results? Curious to hear what worked for you.

I use AI for research, drafting, and editing. My clients assume the work is 100% me. Should I tell them? If yes, how? I do not want to seem less valuable but I also do not want to hide anything.

I want to automate onboarding, invoicing, and follow-ups. But I am scared of feeling robotic. My clients hire me for the personal relationship. How do you automate without becoming a machine?

I am drowning in tools. Project management, invoicing, email, scheduling, analytics. What is your actual tech stack? Not what you wish you used. What you actually pay for and rely on daily.

I'm interested in seeing how others are getting value from it.

Meal decisions and home maintenance are the first things I’m handing to an AI agent to reduce mental load. I’m curious what other personal tasks people have successfully automated this way.

I am trying to help a friend get some music for his YouTube channel. Just some background music. No lyrics or anything. He built up a channel and is close to getting monetized but the music he had been using as background music was flagged for copyright so he wants to move away from using it and use something he knows won't get his content flagged in the future.
