If it requires you to download a code or put an API, you should heavily consider waiting until it's more polished. Like in a textbox. This will save you hours and hours worth of frustration and effort you might have before it's polished. 3. **Simply paying attention to the AI movement puts you way ahead of the pack.** 14:31 According to a 2023 survey by Pews Research, 58% of American's have heard of ChatGPT but only 14% have tried it and only 2% have found it extremely useful in their life. Essential AI tools:  ### Advanced Tips for ChatGPT: 1. Give it step by step directions rather than asking it things in large blocks of text. 2. Prompt engineering is powerful but works even better is working collaboratively with the AI and responding to the things it gives you over a series of requests. 3. Focus on tasks that are hard to do but easy to check. Like writing outlines or creating itineraries. It helps if you have a background in the field you're asking it to talk about. ### Midjourney Tips:  Action Items - [ ] Try Midjourney - [ ] Try Rytr https://app.rytr.me/create
