Take your mind back to 2023. Generative AI was still relatively new on the scene, and we were all curious about how it would impact the world. Would it be a short-lived trend or would it signal a new age of tech? From content creation to data analysis, the potential of AI skyrocketed in just a few years and the technology and tools show no sign of slowing down.

For this episode, we head back to 2023 to our episode with Josh Cavalier, L&D expert and long-time friend of The Visual Lounge. While we chat about the trends and predictions we had in 2023 (which feels like ancient history in this AI world), Josh’s message for our listeners is still just as relevant today.

Josh shared his advice for anyone hesitant to use AI in video creation and how to overcome those common AI anxieties that leave content creators twitching. He has plenty of tips about crafting prompts, finding the right tools, and the best practices for getting the most out of gen AI. Plus, you’ll get to hear if our predictions on the future of AI were right or wrong.
