Mari has the scoop for you... Greetings {NAME}! If you're a fellow curious seeker interested in exploring more AI tools, here's a motherlode list of [174 AI-Tools To Try](=) ... in your spare time - ha!! ;) I'm curious how many of the tools you're using already? And are there tools you would add to the list? I imagine everyone's tried ChatGPT by now! We're having a great discussion in my Social Scoop FB Group and my FB Page. Come browse the additional tools and use cases mentioned in the comments on [this group post]( and [this page post](=). [174 AI Tools To Try](=) Plus: - See also The Largest AI Tools Directory - updated daily! [Futurepedia.io](=)
- Along with this AI Search Tool - [AIsearchtool.com](=) There's also lots of buzz (and controversy!) about Google's new ChatGPT rival [Bard]() and then Microsoft reinventing an AI-powered [Bing](. Will The AI Hype Last? What About Quantum Computing & AI? I wrote up a thoughtful [post](=) in my [Superstars community]( (it's free to join & is proudly built on the [Mighty Networks](=) platform!) about this very topic. Here's an excerpt: Honestly, I can't remember seeing this much excitement and trending buzz since the early days of social media. (Circa 2007-9). Professor Scott Galloway from NYU Stern School of Business said, "I’ve never seen a technology that’s entered the hype cycle this quickly." To reach the first million users, it took Spotify 150 days, Instagram 75 days and ChatGPT only 5 days! And then 100M in two months. (Of course, IMHO, to compare Spotify, IG and ChatGPT is not exactly apples to apples, is it?) BUT, in all honesty, I am not getting too pumped up myself on all the AI buzz for now. Yes, I like being an early adopter/adapter with tech, marketing, trends, etc. However, I am a well-researched, balanced, grounded early adopter! :) I love this quote by Seth Godin: "If your work isn’t more useful or insightful or urgent than GPT can create in 12 seconds, don’t interrupt people with it." Oh, but wait! Then there's QUANTUM COMPUTING. The other day, I saw a quote go by on Facebook from a respected marketer saying that everyone is talking about AI but we really ought to also be paying attention to quantum computing. Just wait until [quantum computing](=) and AI are combined. FREE Webinar on March 1st about AI + Social Media Quick heads up, {NAME}!

When we can recognize and accept how absolutely and utterly unique, special and different we are on a cellular and genetic level, we can learn to fall in love with ourselves—and others—that much deeper. ❝Human Design opens the door to the potential of self-love, a love of life, and the love of others through understanding.❞ —Ra Uru Hu So, whether you're currently single or in a partnership, come play with me on Valentine's Day to celebrate YOU and how amazing you are!!

Quick Hits - Facebook just reached the milestone of 2 billion daily active users. The number of people daily using Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp is the HIGHEST it's ever been. [Don't let anyone tell you Facebook is 'dead.' [Read my full remarks]().]
- Meta reaches more than 3.7Bn people monthly across its family of apps, including almost 3Bn on Facebook.
- Facebook/Meta celebrated its 19th birthday on Feb 4th. I asked my audience members to celebrate all that is GOOD about Facebook by sharing what you LOVE about the platform. Read some of the responses [here]().
- Do you use Facebook's POE feature? ([Paid Online Events](). Bad news: Meta is getting rid of POEs starting May 8th. (Absolutely typical of Meta. Sigh. This is why I'm so adamant about not going too 'all-in' with certain Meta/FB features. It's important to keep control of as much of your business aspects as possible.) Will POEs going away affect you? That's all for this issue! You're invited to connect in my lively and supportive [Social Scoop Facebook Community]() - celebrating 22k+ amazing members.
