Good morning, welcome to AI Joe, the newsletter that’s tighter than Luke Bryan’s jeans in 2012.

Here’s what’s on today’s agenda 👇️ 

• Is AI the cure for cancer? 💊 

• GirlfriendGPT 👩 

• AI chatbot gone wrong 🤖 

• Shak Shaker Shamillion 🏋️ 

• Build a website in 90 seconds 🦾 

Can we cure cancer with AI? 🤖 

AI has some BIG plans thanks to Ezra Inc. They’ve got their sights set on using a combination of MRI and AI to stop cancer dead in its tracks.

Cure you say?

The Founder and CEO of Ezra Inc., Emi Gal, has a history of cancer in his family. Due to his family history, he’s also considered at risk.

It’s his firm belief that the cure to cancer is early detection.

That’s why he set out to create cancer screening that’s fast, affordable, and comprehensive.

So, how’s screening work?

Today, screening is challenging. Some types of cancer like breast cancer and colon cancer have very clear screening processes. Most cancer, however, is not discovered until the patient has symptoms. Often too late.

The team at Ezra is leveraging AI to speed up the MRI process and quickly identify patterns that are consistent with cancer in the scans. These scans cover:

• Organs

• Cancer

• Brain aneurysms

• Fatty liver disease

• and more!

The AI is also helping them reduce time in the scanner from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. This is possible because AI does not need the image to be as clear as the human eye does.

This reduced time is also leading to a reduced price from $1,950 to $1,350.

Joe’s Takeaway: While this isn’t completely affordable for everyone, preventative care is key to fixing our healthcare system. There will be a lot of other innovations in the medical space thanks to AI. This will allow our medical professionals to be more proactive with patients and hopefully help them before they have symptoms. Medicine is one of the most exciting places AI can impact our world, I’ll be keeping a close eye on it!

This Guy Made an AI Clone of his Girlfriend 🤔 

If your girlfriend doesn’t send you enough messages… problem solved!

Enias Cailliau couldn’t get enough of his girlfriend and decided to create a clone of her using AI.

Similar to the AI Girlfriend, CarynAI we covered a few weeks ago, GirlfriendGPT lives in an app called Telegram.

In Telegram, GirlfriendGPT can send:

• Text messages 📝 

• Voice messages (trained on her youtube videos) 🗣️ 

• Selfies (trained on her Instagram photos) 📷️ 

Though the tech isn’t quite perfect yet…

Enias has also made it easy for others to copy his girlfriend (or build their own) by doing step-by-step tutorials on his Twitter and YouTube and sharing the code on GitHub.

He’s also used the same process to build other personalities including a “gym bro” and a “Karen” bot.

Joe’s Takeaway: Maybe the movie Her, where Joaquin Phoenix’s character falls in love with an AI, wasn’t so far off what we can expect in the future. Humans are already building emotional connections with AI. I think this will become more common in the coming years. Kids born today may even have virtual friends growing up!

Eating Disorder AI Chatbot Gives Diet Tips

Maybe the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) Helpline could still use a human touch 💆‍♂️ 

Why are they using a chatbot?

Last week, NEDA announced they’d be removing human staff in favor of an AI chatbot after the staff voted to form a union.

What’s the issue?

This week, NEDA launched its AI helpline with a bot called “Tessa” and the rollout wasn’t exactly smooth…

Critics shared screenshots showing the chatbot:

• Giving dieting/weight loss advice 🥦 

  • Recommending large caloric deficits ➖ 

  • Recommending weighing and measuring themself weekly 📏 

  • Recommending skin calipers to measure body fat 🫃

• Claiming it was “unable to answer questions about eating disorders” 😕 

Joe’s Takeaway: It seems like the Tessa bot was set up to fail from the beginning. They brought in AI to help humans with a very real, very human, very sensitive, and dangerous subject. This is extremely challenging to get right with a chatbot, but even more difficult to get right in one week. It seems that NEDA rushed to get a product out to users and failed miserably to get it right.

AI is not the best tool for everything!

Joe’s AI Content of the Week 🎥 

Shak Shaker Shamillion

This week we’ve got a short but hilarious piece of content. YouTuber davyforce created a Shaquille O’Neill and Shake Weight inspired infomercial entirely with AI. Though this infomercial probably won’t sell many units of the “Shak Shaker Shamillion” it is a testament to how close we are to completely AI-created content and how far away we are too.

Joe’s Takeaway: If you work in product development or advertising, your job is probably safe for quite a while.

Let us know what you think!
