In this note: Grok Imagine Google AI Studio Gemini vs Grok vs ChatGPT --------------------------------------------------------------------- I had an interesting encounter with AI yesterday. I was looking at designing a cover page for my course preview content (embeded below). Grok Imagine I thought of Grok initially, as I happened to generate a professional fashion show clip with just a product image  with it recently. But Grok Imagine gave me this right after I uploaded my image without any prompt: Frankly, I was amazed listening to the "script" it generated. Look like me, sound not like me, and not me saying that!  😅 I was a bit carried away playing around with the clip generation. Since I been there, I generated somehow considered a good teaser video clip, with the same profile image. I didn't manage to get the front cover design done with Grok.  Then I switched to Gemini.

时间、知识、金钱

  你有三种货币: 时间 知识 金钱 当你需要其中一种时,使用另外两种来获得它。 HowTze.com = Footprint of a Digital Nomad 我 revamp 网站一段时间后,才真正找到定位的精髓。 As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.  学习是循序渐进的过程 我使用 AI,从最早的 prompt 到最近的 prompt, 都一直在优化中。即便不是最好,但也完成了些许事情。 举例,处理数码照片 re-purposing* 的过程: From the first trial of "You are a marketing and shutterstock photo seller expert. Give me a 180 words description of this photo, with 30 respective keywords. tq." To the recent "You are a marketing professional and ShutterStock photo seller expert. Give me a 300 text count description of this photo, spot on image uniqueness and best for purpose, with 50 respective well-chosen keywords (preferably a mix of around 25 one word and around 25 longer tail keywords that are less than 4 or 5 words) to help this content be found and show its relevance for commercial usage, output in comma separated text.  Prepare 3 highly searchable Shutterstock titles for this photo. tq." * 把之前旅途中拍的照片和视频摆上网去,让世界看见的同时也有机会变现。 How Tze...

From A Single Product Image To A Professional Video Clip How To Use AI To Generate A Professional Video Clip Using Just A Single Product Image Below is an example how we get to above clip, also available here: https://grok.com/imagine/post/c51f5d27-7af4-458b-9e9c-3b20cc5bc0a4?source=post-page&platform=web For this example, we use Grok. 1️⃣ First, chat with Grok to get a good prompt : "What is the best prompt I can use to create a European model wearing the provided clothing walking on a fashion show catwalk video clip. The model should make a 360-degree turn to showcase the clothing from all angles. Use copyright free background music for fashion show. Add in lighting where applicable to let the clip looks more professional as though it was taken from a real fashion show. I don't want this image to be shown in the video clip produced." 2️⃣ Then, copy the output and paste to Grok's Imagine: "Create a 10 second high-resolution, realistic video clip of a tall, e...

AI: The Future Is Here — Just Not Evenly Distributed

For those: who have yet to understand how far AI can go, and who have yet to feel the threat of AI replacing their job — Let me give you a real example. I used Gemini 2.5 Pro for a fashion-related project. (Screenshots below) I simply said: “Can you produce a beautiful European model wearing this clothing with a matching skirt or trousers? Make it a professional image for marketing poster use. Thank you.” Yes — in plain human language. Less than a minute later, the AI presented me with what looked like the work of a professional fashion stylist. Within five minutes , I had three high-quality marketing photos of models wearing my client’s designer outfits. No studio booking. No makeup artist. No photographer. No hairstylist. No real human models. No hustle. All I needed were three simple photos of the clothing pieces from my client — something that would have been impossible to produce “conventionally” with limited resources. And here’s the thing: I’m not ev...

赚钱、管理钱、让钱生钱 是三种截然不同的技能,但它们环环相扣,息息相关。 首先,要赚钱,要知道: 钱在哪里? 有多少? 怎么拿? 如何四两拨千斤?数码化。  钱在哪里?有多少? 举例两个管道 1. Youtube (视频) YouTube was the 2nd largest contributor to content creation in terms of content spend   in 2024, paying out more than $32B to partners globally. 2. ShutterStock (照片+视频) More than $1 billion paid out over the last 15 years (approximately $66.67 million per year) ShutterStock paid out a billion dollars to its worldwide community of contributors .  怎么拿?

浑浑噩噩、兜兜转转、踏踏实实

浑浑噩噩 兜兜转转 踏踏实实 2025年10月24日,完成 50 件作品的发布(24 images + 26 videos) 在 How Tze's ShutterStock Page 。 距离 100 张照片 + 100 个视频的目标,已完成 25%。 过程容易吗?绝对需要高度的纪律和坚持。 以上传至少 122 张照片 + 44 个视频,总共 166 件作品,只有 50 件是可卖的。 50/166 ~ 30% 其他大部分都进了 Data Marketplace. 😅 这是从  9 September 2025 开始,每天上传至少 3 张照片的历程记录。  第一张照片 是在 Vietnam 拍的。 关于 【 数码资产 】与 【 效益优化 】这回事: ShutterStock 的个案参考 ,在过程中有以下发现: 浑浑噩噩 因为不在状况,不懂真正要的是什么 兜兜转转 知道自己要什么,但并非自己真正想要的,而是耳濡目染下要这个要那个。 或在途中,被太多诱惑左右而迷失了。 踏踏实实 目标明确,战略清晰,心无旁骛。不到黄河心不死。 将军不打过路兔,目标是过河    目标是穿过沼泽地,而不是对付每条鳄鱼。 很多时候我们在人生的路上, 容易被细枝末节的障碍困住, 忘了自己真正的方向。 与其耗尽心力和每一个阻碍死磕, 不如把眼光放远,专注于终点, 走得稳,走得坚定,才有机会抵达想去的彼岸。 #人生目标 #坚持到底 #看清本质 #人生哲理 #目标明确 #自我突破 #目标明确 图文转载自 梦想成功 脸书。 以上,共勉。 祝福,加油!
