AI ON MY MIND

Happy Friday!

This morning I spent time talking to AI voices.

OpenAI just released new voice models that developers can use to create AI personalities with different speaking styles.

And as I tested them, I noticed something fascinating.

The AI voices sound clean and clear, but they miss the tiny details that make human speech unique. Those small pauses when we think.

The way our voices crack when we feel something deeply.

The slight changes in tone when we smile while speaking.

It made me think about how much of our humanity lives in these small imperfections.

AI can mimic our words, but it can't replicate the raw authenticity of human expression.

That's what makes our voices truly special.

For now.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

🛍️ AI-Driven Retail Searches Skyrocket

AI-powered searches on retail websites have experienced an unprecedented surge, with a staggering 1,200% increase between July 2024 and February 2025. This dramatic shift in consumer behavior demonstrates the growing integration of AI technology in everyday shopping experiences. The data from Adobe Analytics reveals that AI-assisted shoppers are more exploratory in their shopping journey, though they show different conversion patterns than traditional browsers.

  • AI-powered visitors explore 12% more pages per visit compared to traditional users

  • Conversion rates for AI-assisted searches are currently 9% lower than conventional searches

  • The explosive growth suggests a fundamental shift in how consumers interact with e-commerce platforms

My Opinion: This makes sense. AI makes it super easy to find info, vs scrolling Google. Just ask and it provides.

Anthropic's Claude has taken a significant leap forward by introducing web search capabilities, transforming how users interact with AI assistants. The new feature enables Claude to provide up-to-date information while maintaining its conversational nature, marking a significant advancement in AI functionality. This development puts Claude in direct competition with other major AI platforms offering similar capabilities.

My Opinion: Finally. It took them way to long to release this imo.
