I’ll share which AI tools I’m exploring, some experiments I’m conducting, and insightful information about what I’m observing in the world every week.

🔧 Three Tools I’m Testing

✍️ Tufa.io - Another tool for generating social media content. So far, I haven’t been particularly impressed, but I plan to try it for a few posts to see how it performs. It creates text and images, as well as longer-form content.

🖼️ OpenAI 4.0 Image Generation - An absolutely astonishing image generation model that is part of ChatGPT directly. The text generation, which has been an AI downfall, is fantastic, and overall capabilities are flat-out impressive.

🎨 Readdy.ai - A design generation tool that is pretty impressive right out of the gate. I will continue to work with it as I play around with some personal projects.

🧪 AI Experiment of The Week

My son has been very interested in building video games over the last month or so. Being an independent game developer in my past I love the idea of creating fun little games with my son. There are roughly three to four ideas being worked on. One of the simplest of these is a 2d shark eating fish game (although he has a game requirement of getting big enough to eat the sun).

I decided to try Google Gemini’s new Canvas and coding capabilities to build the prototype for the shark-eating game. The starting prompt we used was:

Create a html, javascript game where you are a tiny shark and you get bigger by eating other fish. However, at the start of the game you're so small that you can only eat tiny fish foods, not even big enough to eat a fish. The game never stops but your score is how many things you eat and how large you get.

You can try out the current version here. For less than an hour of work, this has been a great start. I’ll likely continue to use this for prototyping and then move to Cursor to enhance it.

📰 Article of The Week

Gates Predicts AI Will Make Human Expertise "Free and Commonplace"

In a recent CNBC article, Bill Gates made a bold prediction that within a decade, AI will advance to the point where humans "won't be needed for most things" in the world. The Microsoft co-founder, whose evolution from tech visionary to global philanthropist gives him a unique perspective, believes we're entering an era of "free intelligence" where expertise in fields like medicine and education will become "free, commonplace" through AI interfaces.

What makes Gates' prediction particularly compelling is how he frames this shift—not as humans becoming obsolete, but as specialized knowledge becoming democratized. While acknowledging that certain human activities will remain irreplaceable, specifically mentioning sports as something "we reserve for ourselves," Gates envisions AI handling practical domains like "making things and moving things and growing food." This aligns with his recommendation of Mustafa Suleyman's book "The Coming Wave," which he's called "one of the most important books on AI ever written."

For professionals in healthcare and education especially, Gates' comments present both challenge and opportunity. Rather than fear replacement, the task becomes identifying which aspects of these professions transcend information delivery and diagnosis—the uniquely human elements that AI may complement but not replace. As we navigate this transition over the next decade, the central question isn't whether AI will transform these fields, but how we redefine human value in domains where information processing is no longer our competitive advantage.

🌎 Where the World is Going

The AI Creative Renaissance

The more I spend with AI, whether it be through chat-based interfaces like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini or more focused tools like Polymet, Dzine, or WriteSonic, the more I find myself creatively inspired and capable. AI has provided a creative partner and collaborator that I can work with at any time of the day or night. My process for working has drastically changed over the last year. One of my first, if not the first, steps is having a conversation with an LLM to help me expand on my thoughts and double-check my ideas.

What we're witnessing isn't just a technological shift—it's a fundamental transformation in the creative process. AI isn't replacing human creativity; it's amplifying it, particularly for those of us who've always had ideas but struggled with execution. I consider myself a creative person but not an extremely creative person (I suck at music, I'm not a great writer or a particularly good artist). Yet, with AI as my collaborator, I can bridge the gap between my vision and my technical limitations. The tools aren't doing the creating for me—they're extending my creative reach, allowing me to express ideas I've always had but couldn't quite manifest.

So I can't fathom how true artists are going to transform their fields as they embrace these tools. The Picassos, Spielbergs, and Beyoncés of tomorrow won't just use AI—they'll develop entirely new art forms with it. We're standing at the threshold of a creative renaissance where the constraints that have historically limited artistic expression are falling away. The challenge will be getting artists to understand and take advantage of the AI technologies coming to bear, especially when initial reactions are often fear or dismissal.

What excites me most is that we're in the earliest days of this partnership. The tools we have now are impressive but primitive compared to what's coming. Just as the first synthesizers led to entirely new musical genres and digital editing transformed filmmaking, AI collaborators will enable creative expressions we can't yet imagine. And unlike previous technological revolutions that often raised the barrier to entry, AI is simultaneously democratizing creativity, putting sophisticated tools in the hands of amateurs and professionals alike.

As a consumer of art, I'm ready for all the new stories to be told, new music to be created, and art to be imagined. But more importantly, as a creator, I'm experiencing firsthand how the conversation between human and machine intelligence redefines what it means to create. We're not just witnessing a new set of tools—we're participating in the birth of a fundamentally new relationship between humanity and creativity itself.
