Let me explain why that is — here are my top five practices for Linkedin (and other social media).
Why listen to me when we can ask AI how it can help the ProAV industry in the near future? Here’s what ChatGPT wrote. The article you are about to read — and the associated art — is 99.1% created using OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DALL·E 2. My .9% contribution was to splice: I never changed a word.
