Whenever I m about to buy something (especially something more expensive), I can be easily influenced by recommendations from people I trust and know. That might be well-known accounts on X or suggestions from friends.

Or, I go and read the reviews.

I graduated 4 years ago, and I had the opportunity to go on to a PhD, but I gave up on that option.

Instead, I chose the "real world".

Many public universities in my country offer free tuition, while in the US tuition is very high, and people take out student loans that take decades to pay off.

Many brands have their long-standing mascots (McDonald's, Mr Clean, Michelin), etc. But with the development of AI, physical forms are moving online, and AI avatars look promising in this.

On one hand, it feels less human (authentic), on the other hand, AI influencers are a "cheaper" solution.

Many of us use it for text generation, image generation, and making tasks fast.

That is something repetitive, and over one week or so, it is not so mindblowing anymore.

Most people in this community are makers (I guess developers and marketers).

We spend most of our time in front of the computer, on video calls and the like. Understandably, we want to make it easier and more enjoyable.

What tech stack do you have that makes your work easier?

I think AI has been around long enough for us to identify which tools have changed the way we work.

There are more and more of them every day, and sometimes it feels like it s getting harder to keep track of them all.
