🚀 Session #57 New ChatGPT Tools, Image & Video Creation, Privacy, and More!
Welcome to the May 2025 edition of our AI Q&A Session—your monthly check-in for what's really happening in the world of AI for freelancers, solopreneurs, and curious minds over 50!
In this session, we explore ChatGPT's exciting new image and video creation tool—Sora, and how you can use it to generate short, high-quality videos with just a few words.
We also compare the latest developments across major AI platforms including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Meta’s Grok, and Microsoft Copilot—with honest insights into what’s working (and what’s still frustrating!).
🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Session:
How to use ChatGPT’s new “Sora” tool to create 10-second AI videos
Why we recommend freelancers over 50 stay within the ChatGPT universe
A simple walkthrough of creating AI-generated beach scenes and hybrid animals
Why Microsoft Copilot may not be ready for prime time
The latest on Grok 3, Google’s improved AI search, and Meta’s privacy challenges
How your phone-charging habits may be used by lenders (yes, really!)
What we’re doing to make our video archive smarter and easier to use
How we're transitioning to a new platform (Beehiiv + Kajabi) to better serve you
🎁 Plus: We’re giving all subscribers an extra 3 months of access—free!
Best,
Winton & Bruce
