Read time - 4 minutes

✍ Barsee’s pick for you:

1/ Viral Instagram photographer is nervous about revealing this truth to his 29K followers.

So, this guy named Jos Avery (a photographer) has been posting these portraits for several months now and has gained a significant following on Instagram (approx 29.8k)

But here’s the catch, his portraits are so convincing that many of his followers believe that they are real photographs of people.

A few months ago, looking at those realistic images, I would have believed it as well.

To create these stunning portraits, Avery uses a fancy AI tool called Midjourney.

As his following has grown, he is worried about spilling the beans about his AI secret, fearing that it may damage his reputation as a photographer.

It's getting to the point where even Sherlock Holmes would struggle to tell the difference between AI and human-generated things 😂

2/ Spotify AI DJ in your pocket

Steve Jobs in 2001 said, “1,000 songs in your pocket.”

Spotify in 2023 says - “AI DJ in your pocket”

Assume you're having a house party with your friends, it's getting late, and it's time to dance. So you pick up your phone and tell your personal DJ to play songs for you.

This is possible now with the new Spotify AI DJ.

Just announced yesterday, it will be able to choose what to play next based on a personalized algorithm alongside commentary around the tracks and artists.

If you want to use Spotify’s new AI DJ feature do this:

• Go to your Home Screen in the app

• Hit “Music” in the top right

• The DJ card should pop up

Only available for some countries though.

Loved how this AI will also talk, and behave like a real DJ.

3/ Tell your kids you once played NBA

The NBA recently showed an app that scans a person and places them exactly as they are into NBA players.

Just open the app, scan yourself, and add yourself into any person (this will be all live)
