In today’s episode, you’ll discover the most dangerous application of AI: the manipulation of memory. You’ll learn how easily AI can alter photos and videos, implanting false memories and rewriting history, a capability far more accessible than ever before. You’ll gain crucial insights into protecting yourself from this threat and learn simple, practical steps to preserve the integrity of your own memories and recordings. Don’t miss this essential discussion about safeguarding truth in the age of AI.
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s talk about the most dangerous AI use case ever. For those unfamiliar with George Orwell’s 1984, there’s a section about rewriting history. The Ministry of Truth routinely redacted and changed newspapers, articles, and books to promote the ruling regime’s version of “truth”— “We’ve always been at war with East Asia.” This is not a new problem. Orwell wrote 1984 well before 1984, but AI makes it worse.
The most dangerous AI use case is rewriting memory. This MIT Media Lab study—let me make this a little bigger—tested whether digitally altered photos impact memory. Researchers showed test subjects a photo, distracted them, showed them an altered version, distracted them again, and then had them recall the first photo. The results were scary: AI manipulation more than doubled false recall of memories that didn’t happen. AI-generated content implanted false memories of events that never occurred. In the first example, AI-edited images altered what stuck in people’s heads. In the second, things were removed from the background, and people recalled the photo with those things removed. The implications are significant.
Digital alteration of photos is decades old—Photoshop debuted during the Reagan administration—but generative AI tools, including those in Photoshop, Dolly, and Midjourney, make it faster, easier, cheaper, and simpler to rewrite reality at scale. You don’t need to be a Photoshop expert; you can highlight an area and tell it what to change.
This is a problem because countless authoritarian leaders would love to rewrite history to their benefit, vilifying enemies and changing how people remember the past. These tools allow them to do that easily and at scale, changing how people recall events, even for those who lived through them. It’s important to note that there are valid use cases for rewriting personal history—for example, therapeutic uses to help people process trauma. But this capability is amoral; the technology exists, and we can’t put the genie back in the bottle. How we use it depends on our moral compass, which, let’s face it, isn’t always reliable.
So, how do we prevent history from being rewritten? It’s impossible to rewrite everything. When you see something potentially significant, record 10 seconds of video or take a photo and save it. Even if AI agents were deployed everywhere, they can’t rewrite things they don’t have permission to rewrite; data stored on personal devices or backup drives will be hard to alter.
When using photo editing tools like Google Photos, save the original separately to maintain a reference. Google Photos might clean up a distracting background, but you want to preserve the original if something important was happening in that background.
Reality, facts, and truth are more fragile than ever. We must do our part to reinforce them by using tools intelligently and frequently to record events, making history harder to edit for those who would manipulate it.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn about the importance of having backup plans for your generative AI tools. You’ll discover why relying solely on leading AI platforms might be risky, and how to prepare for unexpected shutdowns or service disruptions. You’ll gain valuable insights into creating a robust backup strategy, including exploring open-source alternatives and building your own AI solutions. Don’t get caught off guard—watch now to safeguard your AI workflows!
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s talk about your generative AI backup plans. Today’s market leader, like OpenAI, could be tomorrow’s Google Reader. For those unfamiliar with the reference, there was once an amazing blog-reading software platform service from Google—it was free, called Google Reader. It was fast, convenient, and free. And, as Google often does, one day they just turned it off. This left a massive gap in the marketplace that no company has ever really successfully filled, although many worthy companies provide similar functionality, such as Feedly. But Google Reader’s absence is notable because of its utility—it was really good software—and because of its transient nature—here today, gone tomorrow.
Now, to be clear, we weren’t paying for it, and you get what you pay for. But this is one in a long legacy of Google products—like Kasa and Orkut—that just vanish. And it’s not just Google; tens of thousands of software companies have dried up. This lesson—the transient nature of companies and services—is critical for anyone working in AI today with tools, software, services, and models. AI today is in its infancy. The thousands of AI companies popping up are probably not going to have staying power. Some will run out of runway and close up shop because AI is expensive to provide. You can only be a loss leader for so long before you run out of investor funds. Others will be acquired and then gutted, as Google and many other tech companies have done. They buy the IP, maybe the staff, and then decide they didn’t really want the company—they just wanted the people developing it.
In AI, there’s a very high probability of this happening because many companies are simply a wrapper, a UI on top of someone else’s model. And that gets expensive. If an AI app, service, or platform leaves the testing phase and becomes part of your business, your standard operating procedures, or your value proposition, you owe it to yourself and your organization to have alternatives. If ChatGPT or OpenAI runs out of money, or Google Gemini is shut down, or Anthropic closes up shop—what would you do for generative AI and large language models tomorrow? What if you integrated generative AI into your standard operating procedures and they announced they were going out of business on Friday? What would you do Monday morning? If tools like Dolly, Midjourney, or Meta’s image generator went offline today, what would you use to create imagery tomorrow? There are options, but do you know what those options are? Have you tested them? Are you ready?
This is why local AI models and tools are essential. Having models you download and run on your own hardware is your insurance policy. When you see a cool new AI service, ask yourself, “Can I build that myself? Can I create my own version?” Everyone is fawning over Google’s free NotebookLM software—the software where you upload documents and it can create study guides, FAQs, and audio podcasts with simulated AI-generated voices. It’s a good tool; it’s useful; it’s raglocked (retrieval augmented generation)—it will not give you answers if you don’t provide the data. It’s terrific. It’s free. It’s from Google. What is the probability that Google says it’s too expensive to operate and turns it off? There’s a lot of precedent for Google to do that. If Google did that, what would you use to replace it? If you’re using this tool, or even building a business around it, what would you use to replace it? Do you know about the dozen open-source projects that exist to replicate part or all of its functionality? Do you know how to use a tool like ChatGPT or Claude to code your own version—something so totally yours that no one can take it away? Could you set that up?
I am a big advocate of having a backup plan for any mission-critical service or technology. This has never been more true than in artificial intelligence. As AI matures and the market changes, you’ll want to have those backups ready. When the worst inevitably happens—as the expression from World of Warcraft goes, “no king rules forever”—you’re ready and you don’t miss a step. You’re like, “Oh, ChatGPT is gone? I’ll just open up any LLM, turn on Llama 70B, and we’re good to go.” You want to be at a point where if your utility of choice shuts down, it’s not a problem. You just keep on trucking; you execute your backup plan.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn practical, actionable steps to demonstrate the human origin of your creative work in the age of AI. You’ll discover simple methods to establish clear lineage and provenance for your content, protecting your copyright and showcasing your unique human contribution. From time-lapse videos to audio recordings, you’ll find techniques to build a robust audit trail of your creative process, solidifying your authenticity and protecting your intellectual property. Watch now to learn how to future-proof your creative work!
You Ask, I Answer: How to Demonstrate Lineage with Generative AI?
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, Stephen asks how creators can practically demonstrate the lineage and provenance of their human-generated content outside of academia. This follows a post I made about AI detectors and the need for creators to prove their work is human-led by demonstrating lineage and provenance. These are fancy terms for “show your work.”
Visual artists often do this by live-streaming their process. We saw a lot of this during the pandemic—musicians live-streaming their work on Instagram. This proves the work is human-led, and it’s something all creators should do, especially when copyright is vital. To demonstrate copyright, the fundamental work must be human-created; AI can be used for parts of the process, but the original work must be human-made. Proof of humanity is more important than ever in the age of generative AI.
One client we work with uses this approach: I (and I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice) have consulted my lawyers, asking if, for a purely human-created original work, using AI to manipulate it later retains the copyright as long as I can prove the original work is mine. Their response was generally yes. As long as the original work is provably mine, the derivative works AI creates retain the copyright.
I use my voice memos app to record a 30-minute session capturing the assignment from the client and my initial creative process. I then give that recording to AI to clean it up and improve grammar.
Lineage and provenance are just an audit trail for content. It doesn’t have to be fancy. You can use your phone to video yourself working—set it up on a tripod and record yourself working on your song, essay, painting, etc. Depending on the platform’s terms of service, you may not want to live-stream if you’re concerned about your work being used to train AI. But record the process; the videos should be time-stamped (a clock in the background is helpful). Be thorough, frequent, and detailed. If painting, video a little bit each day.
Archive these videos safely. If your work is questioned, you can show the time-lapse of you creating it. If composing music, screencast your work in Logic or Adobe Audition. If video editing, screen-record your use of DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere. Proof of origin is one of three pillars of authenticity (along with intent and experience). The more you demonstrate proof of origin, the stronger your claim of authenticity. This proves you, the human, made it.
If you’re thorough and meticulous, you can prove your content is human-led. That’s it for this episode. Thanks for tuning in! Like, subscribe, and hit the bell for notifications. Thank you.

In today’s episode, you’ll uncover the critical flaw in AI detection tools: their unacceptable rate of false positives. You’ll learn why these tools, when used in high-stakes situations like academic evaluations or hiring processes, can lead to devastating consequences for innocent individuals. Discover why a zero-tolerance policy for false positives is essential and how to properly test these tools before relying on their results. Avoid costly mistakes—watch now to understand the risks and best practices.
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s talk about the real problem with AI detectors. About two weeks ago, I shared a LinkedIn post—still getting widely shared—about this problem. I fed various detectors the Declaration of Independence—beyond reproach, not AI-generated—and one said it was 97% AI-generated. This spawned 2,500 comments, but I want to detail why this technology is bad. It’s not the technology itself; as my partner and CEO, Katie Robitaille, says, new technology doesn’t solve old problems. This is a statistics problem.
In statistics, there are type 1 and type 2 errors. A type 1 error is a false positive—like telling a cisgendered man he’s pregnant. A type 2 error is a false negative—saying something isn’t true when it is. The problem with AI detectors is their use in situations where false positives are harmful. Many comments on my original post discussed students facing academic probation, suspension, or expulsion because a tool flagged their work as AI-generated, when they hadn’t used AI. Another commenter was turned down for a job for the same reason.
These are high-stakes situations—loss of tuition, employment—due to false positives from unreliable tools. Companies and institutions are using these tools without thorough testing and haven’t established acceptable standards for type 1 and type 2 errors. What’s the acceptable error rate for falsely accusing someone? This is a false accusation, and in the real world, it means lawsuits. AI should be held to a higher standard than humans; the acceptable false positive rate in such situations is zero—not 5%, not 10%. Think of drug testing; the acceptable false positive rate is zero. False negatives are acceptable, but false positives are not.
The real problem isn’t the technology; it’s people using it without thorough testing in high-risk situations and lacking clear standards for acceptable false positives. As an employer or educational institution, I’d create a testing suite of content never seen online—perhaps having students create new content on offline computers—generating 50–100 samples, and an equal number of AI-generated samples. Then, test each tool on the market, setting the acceptable false positive rate to zero. False negatives are fine, but false positives are unacceptable in high-risk situations.
Why don’t people do this? It’s a lot of work, but getting sued for false accusations is a far greater risk. Why don’t vendors do this testing? Because their false positive rate will be higher than zero. The error rate is inherent in the stochastic nature of language models. If the standard were zero false positives, people wouldn’t buy the tools.
This highlights how we should think about using AI detectors in high-risk situations. In the EU, this is a key requirement of the EU AI Act. If you falsely accuse someone of using AI, you can be sued and also fall afoul of the EU AI Act.
Test these tools, establish your acceptable false positive rate (what rate of false accusations are you willing to make?), and adhere to those standards.

What’s On My Mind: Intermediate Prompt Engineering for Generative AI
This week, let’s explore some more prompt engineering concepts, maybe at an intermediate level.
If you recall, I’ve said for a while that prompt engineering is essentially programming. Instead of programming in Python or Java, we program in English or Ukrainian or Danish.
However, that means we’re still programming, at least if we want to maximize the outcomes we get from generative AI. We’re still writing instructions in a structured manner to achieve a repeatable, reliable end result.
If we understand this fundamental concept, that we are programming when we are using generative AI, we will be far more successful and impactful with the technology. This week, let’s look at chain of thought prompting and frameworks.
Part 1: Chains of Thought
When we look at the variety of academic papers about achieving good results with prompt engineering, of the 50 or so prompt engineering techniques, more than half of them fall under the broad umbrella of chain of thought. Chain of thought prompts are little more than step by step instructions, in a couple of broad varieties:
Manual chain of thought prompts are where we tell the AI what to do, step by step.
Automated chain of thought prompts are where the AI assembles or manages its own prompts.
Here’s an example of a simple chain of thought prompt, written by me:
You are an expert in writing country song lyrics. You know pop country, country music, song writing, song lyric construction. Today you'll be writing lyrics for a country song.
Here are the steps for writing a song with country music lyrics:
1. Concept: what's the main theme of the song?
2. Story: what's the story the song tells?
3. Setting: where is the song set?
4. Characters: who is featured in the song?
5. Emotions: what emotions are highlighted in the song?
6. Structure: what is the song's structure?
7. Rhyme and meter: what kind of rhyme scheme and meter does the song use?
You can see in a manual chain of thought prompt that we spell out step by step what the instructions are. It’s a recipe, a set of directions for the model to follow.
Part 2: Automated Chain of Thought
Automated chain of thought is even simpler. Starting with the first paragraph of our existing prompt, if we use the Trust Insights RACE Framework for prompt engineering as the starting point, we can have AI do the heavy lifting for us. Here’s the human prompt now:
You're a prompt engineering expert in generative AI. You know prompt construction, prompt engineering, and prompt optimization. You are familiar with prompt engineering techniques such as chain of thought, few shot, zero shot, tree of thought, and other prompting techniques.
Convert the following prompt into a chain of thought prompt:
---
You are an expert in writing country song lyrics. You know pop country, country music, song writing, song lyric construction. Today you'll be writing lyrics for a country song. What are the steps necessary to write a compelling country song's lyrics?
---
Write the prompt as chain of thought.
What does the model return? It depends on the model.
Google Gemini returns:
**Chain-of-Thought Prompt:**
You are an expert in writing country song lyrics. You know pop country, country music, song writing, and song lyric construction. Today you'll be writing lyrics for a country song.
To write compelling country song lyrics, consider the following steps:
1. **What are the common themes or topics explored in country music?** (Think about love, loss, heartbreak, rural life, family, faith, etc.)
2. **How can I choose a theme that resonates with me and will connect with listeners?** (Consider personal experiences, current events, or timeless human emotions.)
3. **What are some storytelling techniques I can use to craft a narrative within my lyrics?** (Think about vivid imagery, relatable characters, and a clear beginning, middle, and end.)
4. **How can I incorporate traditional country music elements into my lyrics?** (Consider using a simple rhyme scheme, strong rhythms, and familiar country instrumentation in mind.)
5. **How can I ensure my lyrics are authentic and emotionally honest?** (Draw from personal experiences, observations, and genuine feelings.)
Now, using these steps as a guide, what are the steps necessary to write a compelling country song's lyrics?
ChatGPT GPT-4o returns:
You are an expert in writing country song lyrics, well-versed in pop country and traditional country music. You understand the nuances of songwriting and lyric construction, from capturing emotions to building a story.
Let’s break down the process of writing compelling country song lyrics step by step:
Identify the Theme: Start by choosing a theme or subject. Country songs often revolve around themes like love, heartbreak, small-town life, nostalgia, or overcoming hardship. What specific theme or story will this song convey?
Set the Tone and Mood: Determine the tone of the song. Is it upbeat, melancholic, reflective, or rebellious? The tone will influence the choice of words, melody, and rhythm.
Create a Character or Narrator: Many country songs have a strong narrative voice. Who is telling the story in this song? Is it first-person or third-person? Are they recalling an experience or narrating an event?
Craft a Hook or Chorus: The chorus is the heart of the song. Think about a catchy, relatable hook that resonates with the theme. What is the central message or emotion the listener should take away from the song?
Build the Verses: Start constructing the verses by detailing the story or expanding on the theme. Each verse should contribute to the progression of the song, offering vivid imagery or deeper emotional context. How will the story unfold from verse to verse?
Add a Bridge (Optional): A bridge often introduces a twist or a different perspective. How can you introduce a new element or emotion at this point in the song?
Refine the Lyrics: Go over the lyrics to make sure they flow well with the melody, rhythm, and tone. Are there any lines that can be more vivid, emotional, or concise?
Think through each of these steps carefully, and now, based on this process, write the lyrics for a compelling country song.
Claude Sonnet 3.5 returns:
Here's the prompt converted into a chain-of-thought format:
You are an expert in writing country song lyrics. You know pop country, country music, song writing, and song lyric construction. Today you'll be writing lyrics for a country song. To create compelling country song lyrics, think through the following steps:
1. Theme selection:
- What are common themes in country music?
- Which theme resonates most with current country music trends?
- How can I choose a relatable yet unique angle on this theme?
2. Story development:
- What's the narrative arc for this song?
- Who are the main characters?
- What's the setting?
- What conflict or emotion drives the story?
3. Hook creation:
- What's a catchy, memorable phrase that encapsulates the song's essence?
- How can I make this hook both lyrically and melodically appealing?
4. Verse construction:
- How do I introduce the story and characters in the first verse?
- What details can I include to make the story vivid and relatable?
- How do I build tension or emotion as the verses progress?
5. Chorus crafting:
- How does the chorus reinforce the main theme?
- How can I make it emotionally resonant and singable?
- What imagery or phrases will stick in listeners' minds?
6. Bridge development:
- How can the bridge provide a new perspective or twist on the theme?
- What emotional climax can I build towards?
7. Language and imagery:
- What country-specific vocabulary or idioms can I incorporate?
- How can I use vivid, sensory details to bring the story to life?
- What metaphors or similes would enhance the lyrics without being cliché?
8. Structure and flow:
- How should I arrange the verses, chorus, and bridge for maximum impact?
- How can I ensure smooth transitions between sections?
9. Emotional resonance:
- How can I make the lyrics genuinely moving or relatable?
- What universal emotions or experiences can I tap into?
10. Polish and refine:
- Are there any words or phrases that could be stronger or more authentic?
- Does the song have a satisfying resolution or ending?
- How well do the lyrics fit with typical country music rhythms and cadences?
Now, considering these steps, let's begin crafting compelling country song lyrics. What theme shall we explore first?
We see each model comes back with something that’s optimized for its architecture and knowledge.
It’s important to note here that each prompt optimization is optimized for that specific model. You can use any of these prompts in any of the other models and will probably get good results, but you’ll get the best results by using the prompt generated by a model with that same model.
Part 3: Frameworks
Now, let’s do the big unlock for you. What is a framework?
When I say framework, I don’t mean in prompt engineering and AI. I mean in your business. In marketing. In finance. In HR.
For example, here are some popular B-school frameworks:
Porter’s Five Forces: threat of substitute products, bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of entry, power of suppliers
PEST analysis: political, economic, social, and technological factors influencing business
BCG Growth Share matrix: cash cows, dogs, problem children, stars
What are these all?
Yes. You guessed it. They’re all chains of thought. They’re all step by step processes to reach a set of conclusions.
Which means… you can use either manual or automated chain of thought prompting to use AI in this kind of work, in this kind of thinking.
Let’s look at an example, using the venerable SWOT analysis. First, using the Trust Insights PARE framework, we should prime the model to get an understanding of what it thinks SWOT analysis is:
You're an expert management consultant, the likes of a person who works at McKinsey, Bain, or BCG. You know management consulting, corporate strategy, business strategy, strategic planning. First, what do you know about SWOT analysis? After you list out your knowledge, explain what you believe the strengths and weaknesses are. Finally, explain what expert tips and tricks you know about SWOT analysis that you didn't already cover. Return your explanation in outline form.
When we use this prompt, we’ll get a long, long list of output from most models. We should carefully inspect these results and provide any necessary corrections in its knowledge.
From there, we could ask the model to convert it to a chain of thought prompt, something like this:
Using everything we've discussed so far about SWOT analysis, convert it into a prompt for use with generative AI and large language models. Specifically, in prompt engineering, build a chain of thought prompt. The purpose of the prompt is to conduct a SWOT analysis. The user will upload relevant information about a company and its competitors. From that information, you'll conduct a SWOT analysis and return the results in an outline, with Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats as major headings in the outline. Create the chain of thought prompt:
What do we get? I’ll spare you the endless scrolling of the model outputs here, but suffice it to say any frontier/foundation model like the ones I highlighted earlier should give you a decent result.
That’s pretty useful, right? All those frameworks you learned in business school can be given a new lease on life by relying on their true nature as a set of instructions, a recipe. With the help of generative AI, we can turn them from passive concepts in a slide deck to active processes, recipes we can use.
Part 4: The Big Unlock
Here’s the really big unlock. Everyone and their cousin knows the big public frameworks like SWOT and Porter’s Five Forces. If we want to stand out in generative AI, we shouldn’t just use what everyone else is using, shouldn’t just do what everyone else is doing.
No, the winners in AI – something I say in my keynote talks all the time (now booking for 2025) is: whoever has the most, best ideas will win in the age of AI.
Whoever has the most, best ideas will win in the age of AI.
Everyone has SWOT and PEST. Not everyone has your frameworks, your processes, the special way you do things that you’ve found in your own work. What frameworks do you have that are unique, that are different, that you could take out of your playbook and turn into an app using generative AI?
Years and years ago, I told you that you needed to put together your Golden Cookbook, the compendium of strategies, tactics, frameworks, and processes that you’ve built in your career. Mine’s up to 281 pages now, years later. How is yours coming along?
Suppose I took my four models of media monetization framework I built in 2022 to help businesses monetize their audiences better. Right now, that’s a slide. If I narrated my explanation of it and gave it to AI to turn into a chain of thought prompt, I’d have a killer prompt that, with the right data from a company, could give you a rock solid monetization strategy.
That’s the big unlock. That’s what AI can do for you, with you – to take your unique knowledge, your unique processes and ideas, the things you’ve built in your career, and convert them from knowledge into action, into recipes you can use to create real results. With the processes I’ve shown you in this newsletter, you can now get away from simple, cheesy, commonplace, ineffective prompts into real, meaty, unique prompts that no one else has. You’ll turn those prompts into apps using tools like Google Gems or Custom GPTs or Artifacts, and you’ll create value at scale with AI from the knowledge you uniquely bring to the table.
Whoever has the most, best ideas will win in the age of AI – and chances are, you’re sitting on a ton of ideas you’ve built. Time to unlock the value of your unique knowledge.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn why the belief that human-created content is always superior to AI-generated content is a myth. You’ll discover how, beyond a certain quality threshold, scale becomes the dominant factor in content marketing success. We’ll explore the balance between quality and scale, using real-world examples like McDonald’s and Walmart to illustrate the power of consistency and reach. Finally, you’ll learn why ignoring AI’s potential to scale your content production puts you at a significant disadvantage in today’s competitive landscape.
Mind Readings: Scale vs. Quality in the AI Content Marketing World
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s discuss recent LinkedIn discussions among marketers who are very anti-AI, especially regarding content generation. They believe human-led content is superior and will always be, claiming machines will never rival human creativity. This is untrue.
Last fall, the MIT Sloan School of Management conducted a test showing labeled and unlabeled content (some AI-generated, some human-generated) to different groups. When people didn’t know the content’s origin, they preferred AI-written content for both cause and performance marketing. When told the source, they ranked human and AI equally.
Why is the belief that “quality always wins” and human-led content is best not true? Because after a certain point, scale wins. After achieving a minimum quality level, scale becomes the deciding factor.
Consider the real world. Have you ever had a truly amazing burger? Was it at McDonald’s? Probably not. McDonald’s isn’t the best burger, but it offers consistent minimum quality, good pricing, and massive scale. You get a similar Big Mac anywhere in the world. That’s the value of scale—consistent minimum quality.
Is Walmart the highest-quality shopping experience? No. But it has scale, enabling cost savings. The shopping experience is what it is, but it’s not bespoke.
Consider content: Is TikTok, YouTube, or BuzzFeed content the pinnacle of quality or authentically human-led? No, it’s about scale—getting people what they want at a minimum quality level and low cost, consistently.
Marketers resistant to AI are making a choice. If you want artisanal, handcrafted content, that’s fine. But if you need to be productive and scale, not using AI puts you at a disadvantage compared to marketers scaling production with AI.
Andy Crestodina’s 2024 content marketing report (14 years running) shows 80% of marketers use AI for some content generation. If you’re not in that 80%, you’re fighting with one hand tied behind your back. Today’s content marketplaces prioritize scale—who can create the most content, even if it’s not the best. Your content doesn’t have to be the best; it just has to scale.
Will AI create a sea of sameness? Yes, but that’s nothing new. We’ve outsourced to content farms and low-cost labor markets for decades; now we use machines instead.
Should you abandon quality? No, mediocrity isn’t a good goal, but balance it with scale. Imagine you have 100 pennies and two mugs: quality and scale. If you put all your pennies in the quality mug, you’ll be trounced by competitors because today’s content marketplaces value quantity. Every content distribution system (YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) relies on new content to show ads alongside. They reward new content, incentivizing more content. If you’re all in on quality, you’re done. Conversely, all pennies in scale creates garbage that won’t get views.
You must find a balance—whether it’s 50/50, 60/40, or 30/70—between quality and scale, depending on your KPIs and goals. One hundred pennies in one mug isn’t the answer anymore. If you’re completely resistant to AI, you’re going to have a bad time. The path to continued success in content marketing is using AI to scale. Should you use it for everything? No. Could you use it for some things? Yes. Figure out what those things are, and figure it out soon. That’s it for today’s episode. Thanks for tuning in.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover a game-changing approach to prompt engineering: let the AI write your prompts! You’ll see how different AI models respond uniquely to the same prompt, highlighting the need for model-specific optimization. You’ll learn how to use a meta-prompting technique to get each AI to generate the most effective prompt for itself, leading to vastly improved results. Finally, you’ll understand why this method is superior to manually crafting prompts and how to implement it for optimal performance.
Mind Readings: Let Generative AI Write Its Own Prompts
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s talk about prompt writing. Stop writing prompts for language models yourself—that’s a bit facetious, but stop trying to do it all yourself. I was talking to a friend about a prompt that wasn’t delivering good results. They were used to writing prompts for OpenAI models like GPT-4, but they were using a very different model—Mistral. Prompts that work well in one system don’t necessarily work well in another, especially if there’s a big difference in the underlying model. Even among foundation models and frontier models, prompts and internal model architecture differ. Gemini, for example, has very different internal censorship than ChatGPT; you can’t talk about politics with Gemini at all—it gives a flat-out refusal. ChatGPT won’t talk about some things, while Gemini will. Claude has a very different coding style than Gemini and ChatGPT. The models can learn from each other, but you can’t copy and paste a prompt and expect the same results. You can’t take a librarian from the New York Public Library, put them in the Boston Public Library, and expect them to know where everything is immediately.
So, what do you do? Ask the model to write a prompt for you—rewrite a prompt for you. Give it something and say, “Please rewrite this to accomplish this goal.” Let’s do a quick example. I’ll use Google’s Gemini. Let’s build a prompt that isn’t great: “Let’s write a sonnet in Shakespearean style about the difficulties of changing the oil on my Toyota Prius. It should have the flavor and language of a Shakespearean sonnet.” This isn’t a great prompt. If I put this into Gemini, I get one result. Let’s do the same prompt in ChatGPT. It’s okay, but not great.
Suppose I want to improve this. I’ll take my unoptimized prompt, add some spaces, and say, “Please rewrite this prompt to be as effective as possible in ChatGPT. The purpose is to build a compelling sonnet in Shakespearean style. Rewrite the prompt to accomplish this purpose. Write the prompt in the second-person imperative.” This will have ChatGPT build the prompt the way it thinks it should be done. ChatGPT came up with: “Compose a sonnet in the style of Shakespeare, capturing the essence of his language and tone. The subject should be the challenges of changing the oil under a Toyota Prius. Infuse the sonnet with intricate language, rhyme scheme, and structure, evoking both the humor and frustration inherent in the task. Write the sonnet as though Shakespeare himself were reflecting on this modern dilemma.” That’s a much more thorough prompt than my original.
Let’s go back to Gemini and paste the same instructions. Gemini didn’t do that at all; it tried to write the sonnet instead of following directions. Let’s try this in AI Studio using Gemini Pro 2: “Craft a Shakespearean sonnet detailing the tribulations of a Prius oil change, infused with the authentic language and dramatic flair of the Bard. Deliver the completed sonnet.” That’s very different from the ChatGPT prompt. Let’s see what Anthropic’s Claude does: “Rewrite the prompt in the second-person imperative. Channel the Bard’s eloquence, wit, and meter to elevate this mundane task. Employ iambic pentameter and the Shakespearean rhyme scheme. Infuse diverse Shakespearean diction, rich imagery, and poetic devices. Contrast the modern Prius with Elizabethan sensibilities for humorous effect. Dramatize the struggle between man and machine.”
We took the same prompt and asked the systems to rewrite it in their own language. Look how differently each system operates: ChatGPT is compact; Gemini is super compact; Claude is verbose. You could use the Trust Insights 5P framework to preload the model with best practices about writing sonnets. The internal model architecture differs so much that what we think is a simple prompt will yield very different results if we ask the tool to rewrite it. These results will be better than what we’d generate because the tool uses its own internal language. If I were to have Claude write a sonnet, I’d take this prompt, start a new chat, and give it the prompt.
In my prompt library, I specify which model a prompt is for. I don’t want to use a Gemini prompt in ChatGPT because they have very different internal architectures. If you follow this process, you’ll get optimum performance because the model itself tells you how it works best. By using this meta-prompting framework, you’ll get great results.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover why the current trend of using AI to generate identical-sounding podcasts is a major mistake. You’ll learn how the ease of using tools like NotebookLM has led to a sea of sameness, diminishing brand differentiation. You’ll explore how to avoid this trap and leverage AI to create unique and engaging content that truly stands out from the crowd. I’ll show you how easy it is to replicate the technology, giving you the tools to create something truly different.
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, my friend Jay Baer famously said, “Same is lame.” This is incredibly true. When everyone does the same thing, when everything looks, sounds, and feels the same, it’s lame. There’s no brand differentiation; nothing makes you stand out. When you create the same thing as everyone else, nothing sets you apart. People see a sea of sameness and don’t know who to buy from.
The latest AI craze is marketers using NotebookLM from Google, a rag-locked generative AI tool. This means it only answers questions about the data you give it. You upload documents and ask questions. If you’re doing academic research where you can’t afford the machine to make things up (hallucinate, in technical terms), this is a great tool. It’s fantastic because it will say it can’t answer a question. For example: “What are some ways this paper addresses long COVID?” If the uploaded paper has nothing to do with long COVID, Notebook LM will say so. This is what you want for high-risk research.
But people have glommed onto the audio overview feature, which generates a podcast-like two-host conversation summarizing your paper. I’ll play a snippet after converting it to MP3.
(Audio snippet plays)
It’s wild. We have AIs generating text, code, etc., but the final polish is missing—that step back to say, “This could be better.” Humans take that for granted; we don’t always nail it the first time, but we can usually spot what’s off. That’s the Holy Grail with AI right now. That was pretty good.
Behind the scenes, Google likely passes the document through a prompt in Gemini 1.5 (the same engine powering Notebook LM), generating a script that two voices read. These are Journey voices from Google’s text-to-speech product. They’re very recognizable.
What’s the problem? It seems like a great application of technology, and it is. But many lazy marketers are saying, “I can just put a document in and it’ll generate a podcast.” That’s fair, but it’s all the same. Hundreds of deep-dive expert podcasts have popped up in the last two weeks—all Notebook LM readouts. They all sound the same. Marketers have created a sea of sameness. Every informational podcast uses the same two neural voices from Google TTS. Nothing sets your brand apart.
You could replicate this—and I encourage you to—by taking a language model to summarize a document, have it write a script, and use a TTS model with multiple voices to read it aloud. There are open-source projects replicating Notebook LM’s functionality, giving you more control over summary length and voice selection. You could even use your own voice with a tool like 11 Labs. There’s a market for personality-free audio content—nobody expects a powerful personal brand to read the weather report. But if you’re trying to build a brand, leverage your unique voice, and unique points of view, this isn’t the tool to use.
The good news is that it’s easier than ever to stand out when everyone else is using the easy button and creating same-sounding content. That’s it for this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover why AI detectors are essentially useless, and how their flawed methodology leads to inaccurate and potentially damaging results. You’ll learn about the limitations of these tools and see a real-world example of how they fail spectacularly, even with historical documents. You’ll gain insights into why focusing on critical thinking skills is far more valuable than relying on unreliable technology. Finally, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to challenge the misuse of AI detectors in education and hiring.
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s talk about AI detectors and AI detection. Let’s bring up the most advanced and reliable ChatGPT predictor in the world—according to their own marketing. Let’s put in some text and see how well it detects AI. Remember, this isn’t a plagiarism detector; it’s an AI detector. Was this text generated by AI? Plagiarism is different. Let’s detect the text.
96% AI generated. Wow. That’s incredible. What’s the text? The Declaration of Independence—written 246 years before ChatGPT. AI detectors are a joke. They’re garbage. Their accuracy is less than a coin flip. This is a very confident assessment from the self-proclaimed most advanced and reliable AI detector on the market—246 years before ChatGPT existed. I put in a document we know was human-written. Now, either space aliens, Skynet, or someone sent a Terminator back in time to write the Declaration, or this thing is just broken. It is just broken.
Why does this happen? Why are we getting this result? A couple of reasons. First, AI detectors—most on the market—use a relatively small number of metrics, two of which are well-known: perplexity and burstiness. These metrics judge whether a document is AI-generated. Perplexity is the variance in language; more variety means the tool is less likely to think your text is AI-written. Burstiness considers things like line and paragraph length—if everything is evenly spaced, the tool thinks it’s AI-generated.
Why would it think the Declaration of Independence—obviously not machine-generated—was AI-written? If we look at the section listing complaints against England, we see a lot of similar line lengths. That’s going to get picked up. There are also many similar words and tokens. The phrasing—”He has done this, he has done this”—is repetitive. An AI detector will flag this repetition, concluding it must be AI-generated. It’s a very specific kind of document.
Second, many detectors use primitive metrics and straightforward, fast, and cheap code, or they use very small language models—again, fast and cheap. As a result, they’re not very capable; they’re kind of dumb. They may have been trained on purely generated texts, learning characteristics like perplexity and burstiness. All of it is worthless. AI detectors are worthless; they are garbage. Show this example; show this video; run the test yourself. I originally posted this on LinkedIn, and I got a lot of feedback. Many people said their kids were suspended from school or put on academic probation because schools used these tools as gospel, claiming academic integrity violations. No, the tools are garbage. Stop using them. Educational institutions should stop using them, period. They’re worthless.
I saw another comment on the LinkedIn post about someone turned down for a job because their resume and cover letter were flagged as AI-generated. The hiring manager, using a detection tool, concluded the applicant wasn’t real and didn’t offer the job. This has real-world consequences because someone is using a tool they think is good, but it’s not. It’s garbage. If you are a parent, use this example to show your school board and school administration how worthless these tools are. If you’re at a company and the HR person or hiring manager is using one of these tools, tell them to stop immediately because they’re worthless. They’re no good; they’re less than a coin flip in accuracy. To judge whether something’s AI-generated, flip a coin—you’ll get better results mathematically.
Are there giveaways that something is AI-generated? Yes, but fewer every day as models advance. They get better as they’re trained and tuned, and the big tech companies making AI models have far more budget, technical capabilities, and people than those making AI detectors. So, the models are accelerating far faster than detection abilities.
What’s the solution? Two things. First, does AI detection matter? Does it really matter whether a student wrote the paper or wrote a good prompt to generate it? If it matters that the student wrote it, ask yourself why. You want them to be able to think; writing is thinking. There are other ways to measure that. Ask students questions in class; debate points and see how much background knowledge they retain. Let’s not bother with term papers—it’s a waste of time. Machines can write better term papers than humans. Let’s do things like Socratic debates. Framingham State University, near my house, has students write papers with ChatGPT, then critiques them in small groups, identifying errors, overgeneralizations, and areas for improvement. This reinforces critical thinking, which is what you want to teach—you want students to think. That’s powerful.
A second use case where AI detection might matter is copyright. To assert copyright, you must demonstrate human involvement; purely machine-generated content can’t be copyrighted. How do you do that? Show the content’s lineage and provenance; keep records; maintain an audit trail. If you absolutely have to prove you made something, keep an audit trail. When I work for a client and use AI, I start with a voice memo, transcribe it, apply the client’s style guide using AI, and give them the final product. I can show the chain of evidence—original recordings, etc.—and say it’s machine-assisted but human-led. Because it’s a derivative work of my original human-led work, it retains copyright, and I can assign it to the client. That’s a way to handle copyright. Finally, stop using AI detection for stupid use cases—like disqualifying someone from a job for using AI in their resume or CV. That’s a dumb application of AI. Why? Because you want maximum productivity from your employees. Analyzing them for AI use is stupid unless you specify in the job description that AI use is prohibited. Even then, there are better ways to address this that don’t involve broken, incompetent detection tools.
If you are using, considering using, or know a colleague using these AI detector tools, please show them this, share it with them, and persuade them that these tools are worthless, garbage, and unreliable. They should under no circumstances be used for anything important, such as a student’s academic standing or job hiring. This is your public service announcement. Thanks for tuning in.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn why attempts to measure brand strength within generative AI are fundamentally flawed. You’ll see a compelling example demonstrating how seemingly identical prompts yield drastically different results due to the way AI processes language. You’ll gain a crucial understanding of tokenization and its impact on AI’s interpretation of search queries. Ultimately, you’ll discover why claims of accurate brand strength measurement in generative AI are unrealistic, saving you time and resources.
Mind Readings: Generative AI Optimization Measurement is a Fool's Errand
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
In today’s episode, let’s talk about generative AI optimization—it has many names: AI search optimization, AI optimization, and so on. Everyone is trying to create an equivalent to SEO, search engine optimization. I saw a great exchange on LinkedIn between Tim Solo of ATRFs and Olga Andrienko of Semrush. This demonstrates the futility of generative AI optimization, at least on the measurement side. It’s good practice, but you can’t measure it.
Tim typed in the prompt, “Name 10 best tools for digital marketing professionals.” His results showed ATRFs first. Olga then typed, “Name top 10 best tools for digital marketing professionals.” Her company, Semrush, was the first result. Full disclosure: My company, Trust Insights, is a customer of both; we don’t have a horse in this race. These are basically the same prompts; they should return the same results. They don’t. They are very different.
Here’s why. There’s a concept called tokenization—how generative AI sees content. Let’s use the OpenAI tokenizer, their language parsing tool. I’ll type in Tim’s prompt. GPT-4, the model Tim used, sees the prompt like this: token one, “name”; token two, “space”; token three, “10”; token four, “best”; token five, “tools”; token six, “for”; token seven, “digital”; token eight, “marketing”; token nine, “professionals”. That’s the prompt. Now, let’s look at Olga’s prompt. It has 10 tokens, but they’re different: The space is in a different place; the word “top” is in this one and not the previous one. They’re not the same.
What is a token, and why does it matter? In large language models, and technically, all transformer architecture models, it’s the smallest unit of data the model understands. This is why some models have trouble counting letters; they see words and chunks of words. Tokens are how models understand our questions and responses—it’s their internal language. Any large language model is a vast statistical network of relationships among tokens—how often words appear together. This means seemingly identical prompts return different results, including different brands.
In language models, word order matters. “Name 10 Boston consulting firms” and “Name top 10 Boston consulting firms” are semantically the same to us, but not to the model. Word order and the number of times words like “top” and “Boston” appear together are different, resulting in different results. Things like “top 10 best” and “10 best” have different statistical relationships; they’re linked to different training data. In OpenAI’s tokenizer, a period is a separate token, invoking different probabilities.
Suppose the GPT-4 model saw two articles in its training data: one titled, “The 10 Best Digital Marketing Tools” (listing AHREFS first), and a YouTube video titled, “My Top 10 Amazing Digital Marketing Tools” (listing Semrush first). When prompted, the model prefers closer semantic matches—Tim’s prompt gets the article; Olga’s gets the video. They draw probabilities from different training data, generating different results. Neither brand is winning; they invoked different parts of the model. It’s like asking a librarian for “The Joy of Cooking” versus “Cooking with Joy”—different books. Neither book is better; the library just returned a different book.
Even small language deviations yield different results—adding or removing a period changes results. Anyone claiming they can measure brand strength in large language models is delusional or lying—unless they’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars finding every possible way to ask the same question per brand. That assumes the same starting point—most people don’t use generative AI as a search engine. They might use it to find things, but they don’t use it as a search engine. We’re conditioned to type things like, “Best Boston consulting firm near me”—you’d never say that to a person. When chatting with ChatGPT, you’d say, “I’m thinking about doing this…what’s a good consulting firm?”
The search query alone is difficult to predict, but predicting brand mentions in conversation is impossible. All those people selling “brand strength wizards”—no, you can’t realistically measure brand strength in language models today. You can’t even compare apples to apples because apples to apples will be different. Everything is different. Should you try to influence language models? Yes—make sure your brand is in the training data. Can you measure the impact? Yes—look at referrals and website traffic from Perplexity, ChatGPT, etc. You can see that in your referral data. Can you compare with a competitor? No, unless you have access to their web analytics, and even then, you can’t necessarily tell because that only accounts for clickable links, not conversations. You can’t measure those brand impressions because there’s nothing to click on.
Do not believe anyone who says they can accurately measure your brand strength in a generative AI system today. It cannot be done in any meaningful fashion. That’s it for this episode.
