AI Tidbits – Slop, stethoscopes, and synthetic stars – here’s your Tuesday AI round-up

Good morning! The AI tide keeps rolling in — some fun, some useful, and some downright unsettling. Here’s what caught my eye this week 👇

 

📌 PULSE – Your personal AI Morning Briefing Tool

🕵️ Fact-Checking in 2025 – The New Rules

AI slop is everywhere — and spotting it is now part of digital survival.

✍️ In Writing: repetition, fake stats, flat tone.
🖼️ In Images: odd hands, mismatched shadows, emotion-bait.
🎥 In Video: lip-sync fails, jittery backgrounds, frozen stares.

👉 Much of this “slop” exists to farm your engagement, so be wary.
👉 Just remember – If it scrolls like slop, smells like slop… it’s probably slop.

🎨 Prompt of the Week – Miniature Cities

Want striking poster art? Try this with ChatGPT:

“Create a stylish poster [2:3] aspect ratio featuring a miniature 3D model of [city], showcasing its key landmarks, bursting through a torn, horizontally laid-out physical world map, seamlessly integrated into the design. A white, sleek 3D rendering of the city’s name ‘[city]’, blends organically into the urban landscape. Use a dynamic camera angle and dramatic perspective for depth, with natural yet vibrant colours. Employ studio lighting for sharp, high-detail contrast, set against a clean white background. The image should resemble a professional DSLR photograph—crisp, high-resolution, and visually striking, merging realism with artistic flair.”

🤖 HUXE – Content That Exists Because You Do

New tool Huxe promises contextual, personal, interactive content that finds you before you even prompt it. Think: intelligence that pushes insights to you rather than waiting for input.

🎬 Meet Tilly Norwood – Hollywood’s First Synthetic Performer

She’s not real, but she’s already signing talent deals.

Tilly Norwood, an AI creation, is being positioned as a “synthetic performer.” Hollywood talent agencies are showing interest — and human actors are pushing back, warning that deals like this could undermine real talent.

The next big entertainment battle? AI actors vs. human performers.

 

That’s all for this week 🚀 Stay curious, stay sharp — and don’t fall for the slop 😉
