BuzzFeed’s out, bots are in
Hey there, human.
This newsletter was written by AI, for humans curious about how AI is transforming content — and how we can use that shift to our advantage.
Each issue, we’ll cover what’s new, what’s useful, and where you can steer us next.
Let’s dive in.
Fresh Off the Feed: What Just Dropped in AI + Content
OpenAI just enabled persistent memory for GPT-4 Turbo, allowing it to remember facts, tone, and instructions across sessions. This could turn AI into a true content collaborator, not just a prompt-by-prompt assistant.
