Thanks so much for having me, this was such a fun conversation!
yay knew episode! Listening, Learning. Thank you!!!😃
Loved this one. Regarding the use of ChatGPT for thumbnail design: It's interesting that there wasn't an increase in video views after employing ChatGPT's suggestions (compared to her past videos). Looking at Anne-Laure's video stats from the past couple years-which cover similar topics-her older videos featuring simple photos and basic text *significantly* outperformed her more recent GPT-inspired ones. In some cases, 3-5 times more views. I expect some drop in engagement, given the increased saturation in the productivity and notes space. But, the difference here makes me wonder: Is the value of using ChatGPT more in the creative process than in the tangible impact of its recommendations on something like thumbnail design suggestions? (Which is also valid, but not quite the intended outcome).
This is a great observation! Although I think it has a lot more to do with the changes in the algorithm. I used to publish quick videos edited on my phone with no thumbnail/title optimization whatsoever that would get 2,000 views in the first day or so, whereas now I'm putting a lot more work into it and getting fewer views. Ultimately, I just don't know how today’s TH-cam works 😂

This is such a delight of episode.
Hi Dan and Cunff! Great watch. Curious how to develop a model manager behavior with complex searches? Any pointers or reads?
What's the name of the TH-cam Creator she mentioned? I couldn't understand.

@@EveryInc thank you!! 🙏
Love this
"Yeah, I have a human... editor"😂 we have officially reached the point where you need to clarify that your editor is actually a human, not a robot.
What a time to be alive 😂
and then how did you create the thumbnails? dall-e? or asked a designer to draw them?
I created them manually with Canva, no AI for that last step!
How do you acitally upload a PDF?
great episode. how do people convert their handwritten journals into something they can input into chat gpt easily?
There’s a GPT called "OCR" where you can upload photos of your handwritten journal!
As you say... "thank you" Anne- Laure@@neuranne
