Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple along with Steve Jobs, warned that generative AI will make scams much easier to pull off.
Woz called for regulation to require AI-generated content to be labeled as such.
Has there ever been a new technology that has risen so rapidly and been as influential as artificial intelligence, and more specifically, ChatGPT? The OpenAI tool changed the game in almost every industry, seemingly overnight. Potential applications including content generation, translation and even coding iPhone apps from scratch.
There’s arguably no hotter skill to train in right now. So, get ahead of the curve and become a ChatGPT specialist with The Complete ChatGPT Artificial Intelligence OpenAI Training Bundle. It’s a boot camp of four top-rated courses that can teach you everything you need to know to get the most from this exciting AI tool.
Usually $800, you can grab it for only $29.99. That’s less than $7.50 a course — and potentially the best investment in your resume that you’ll ever make.
Apple reportedly wants to use the power of artificial intelligence to create a virtual coach integrated into Apple Watch.
In addition, Apple’s Health app allegedly will get new features for those with vision problems, and to help users track their moods.
Don’t be jealous of Microsoft Bing’s new AI capabilities: A new Shortcut called S-GPT integrates OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot into Apple devices. It works as a conversational search engine but can do much more, including summarizing a webpage and creating an Apple Music playlist from a list of suggested songs.
It’s a Shortcut rather than an app, and it’s free to download. There’s a very small fee for using it.
Anyone who makes music knows the painstaking struggle of manually removing vocals from a song. Thankfully, in 2023, one of the latest uses for AI technology is to do precisely this, saving you headaches and precious time.
The software in question is EasySplitter, an AI-powered vocal remover application. And a lifetime subscription to the EasySplitter Pro Plan is now only $29.99 (regularly $599)
Artificial intelligence is the future of photo editing, allowing you to create the beautiful images you’ve always dreamed of more quickly and easily than ever before. Luminar Neo’s AI-powered photo-editing software empowers you to edit photos like a pro, and even better, it’s now on sale.
As part of the Spring Digital Blowout, this award-winning photo editor is only $79 (regularly $400), but you can now grab it for just $71.10 with code TAKE10NOW (which gives you an additional 10% discount). This is an exclusive Cult of Mac discount and the best price on the web.
This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: The invites for WWDC23 just went out, so maybe … just maybe … we have a date certain upon which we will cast our eyes upon Apple’s mixed-reality headset. The more we hear about it, the more intrigued we are. And at least part of that is who in the devil will buy one of these things if they cost $3,000?!?

A new open letter signed by tech leaders urges a six-month pause on development of advanced artificial intelligence applications that may pose “profound risks to society and humanity.”
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, other tech execs and many AI academics signed the letter. It urges caution concerning “emergent” AI more powerful than GPT-4. We’re not talking Siri here (at least not yet).

5 Movies, likely the first iPhone app generated almost entirely by ChatGPT, was approved by Apple and published on the App Store late Thursday night.
Morten Just, an independent developer of Mac apps who’s based in Switzerland, guided ChatGPT through the creation of the movie-recommendation app. Just said he told the AI what he wanted, then pasted its output into an Xcode project, writing only an estimated 2% to 5% of the code himself. The chatbot even fixed bugs as Just pasted in error messages.
“What matters to me is creating software that is useful and solves real problems,” Just told Cult of Mac after his 5 Movies app went live. “If I can do that faster with AI, I will.”
Planet of the Apps is a series of interviews with app developers about making, marketing and maintaining apps in the App Store.
Swiss developer Morten Just has built a whole slew of useful Mac apps under the name Otato. But his latest app wasn’t made by him at all: He asked ChatGPT to build it for him.
While Just earned his stripes as a professional programmer, he didn’t write a single line of code to create 5 Movies. It’s an iPhone app that gives you five daily movie recommendations, shows you the trailers on YouTube and tells you where you can stream the films. (It’s currently pending App Store approval.)
These days, artificial intelligence is making headlines for giving users powerful tools that can write essays, recreate impressive art and give technology journalists the heebie-jeebies. 5 Movies is proof that, with a big assist from AI, it only takes a few prompts and a basic understanding of Xcode to create an iPhone app without any coding yourself.
When I interviewed Morten earlier this week for Cult of Mac, I asked him how he got ChatGPT to build his app, what the generated code looked like, and how AI-coded apps will impact ordinary people as well as software developers.
When you start to worry the air in your home could make you sick, an air purifier can help. And they’re getting smarter (but hopefully not “rise of the machines” smart a la Terminator).
The nara Pro, which the company bills as “the versatile air purifier robot,” runs a two-stage system via artificial intelligence that works with Siri and HomeKit, as well as other smart-home systems.
And you can get a good deal on it on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform.
Writing a script and performing it are very different things. Luckily, even if you’re a production team of one, your voice doesn’t need to be the one that shows up on the final track. Micmonster AI voiceovers can turn text into lifelike speech, and you can now get a lifetime subscription for only $49.97 — the best price on the web.
Although Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died more than a decade ago, he’s back as an artificial intelligence. Kind of.
A programmer made a chatbot able to carry on conversations in a voice that sounds like Jobs. The result is authentic enough to be eerie.
Siri simply can’t compete with ChatGPT and other chatbots because it was built with the wrong system, according to someone who was once charged with improving Apple’s voice assistant.
But there’s hope for future improvement, as Apple is reportedly working on a replacement that is being built to be more like ChatGPT.
There’s no escaping it: AI is the future. Perhaps one of the best ways to utilize artificial intelligence (and definitely one of the most fun) is through art production. For novices and artists alike, AI offers a way to create truly distinct art, whether that’s for enjoyment, a personal blog or even a business.
The Wombo Dream art tool allows you to create stunning digital artwork with AI in seconds. And right now, you can grab a lifetime subscription for only $49.99 during our Tech Innovations Seen at CES sale. You’ll have to be quick to grab it at this special price, though. This deal only lasts through March 5.
People in almost any business must write from time to time, whether they like it or not. But whatever the project — like a marketer’s blog post, a business leader’s executive summary or a developer’s technical use case — there’s a tool out there that makes writing easy and effective.
Looking to take your WordPress endeavors to the next level? OpenAI’s increasingly popular product ChatGPT is an effective way to amplify your site, and can open up a whole new world of possibilities, and now you can bring its AI talents to your very own website.
Typically $299, this lifetime license for a ChatGPT plugin is available for only $59. It’s the perfect opportunity to boost your creative content, overall online presence and so much more.
There’s been a lot of talk about the AI chatbot ChatGPT, and with every passing week, we find out a new use for it. While tech giants like Microsoft put it to work overhauling their flagship tools, let’s try to remember that this powerful technology is still free and available to anyone who can sign up for an OpenAI account.
So, if you’re behind the curve on this revolutionary AI, there’s never been a better time to catch up. This ChatGPT AI training bundle includes four courses that will demystify the subject. And it’s on sale for only $19.99 in honor of Presidents’ Day, but you’ll have to act fast since this deal ends tonight.
Even if you somehow haven’t heard of ChatGPT, you’ve probably read the AI chatbot’s “work.” OpenAI’s resourceful text generator and others like it have been used to write everything from chicken recipes to term papers. While many users still regard these tools as curiosities, entrepreneurs are already putting artificial intelligence to work in a field it’s tailor-made for: marketing.
SalesKingPin is the perfect example of how far this tech has come in a very short time. And it could be just the thing your business needs for greater growth. Right now, this AI-powered software is on sale for only $39 (Growth Plan) and $49 (Professional Plan).
T.S. Eliot had it right: April really is the cruelest month, especially if you’re a freelancer, small business owner or independent contractor. That April 15 tax deadline means you’re either scraping together proof for all your deductions, or paying an accountant to shave a few extra dollars off what you owe.
Being your own boss certainly has its benefits, but the time you spend jumping through IRS hoops is not one of them. Luckily, it was only a matter of time before app developers brought the power of AI to ease the problem of taxes — and FlyFin is a compelling solution that’s tailor-made for the self-employed.
As processors improve, AI art is becoming more and more accessible. Yet one fundamental question remains: How do you best use it? This art tool from Wombo lets you turn your ideas and words into incredible art in mere seconds, and is now on sale for $49.99.
It’s annoying when a book you want to read doesn’t have an audiobook version — they’re great while you’re driving, doing dishes or folding laundry. Apple is now offering authors AI-generated audiobooks of their work. Novels you otherwise wouldn’t be able to hear, you can now find in the Apple Books app. Let me show you how you can find and listen to them if you’re curious.
This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: The more we hear about Apple’s upcoming AR/VR headset, the more we’re perplexed about who is actually going to buy one. We take a long, hard look at the latest leaks — and come up shaking our heads.
