We’ve got a reputation and a distinct segment, which we should mix to call our channel. I requested ChatGPT to generate 10 names for a YouTube channel about running a blog by somebody named Blake.

One generated title was BlogMaster Blake, which I believed was too cute and humorous to go up. So, BlogMaster Blake it’s.

Subsequent is our bio. I used to be going to maintain issues easy, however after seeing the wealthy sci-fi backstory AI generated for Jensen’s bio, I figured why not have extra enjoyable with my YouTube channel’s origin?

So, I advised ChatGPT to “Write an thrilling and fascinating first-person bio on an AI named Blake that makes movies about all issues running a blog and consists of an epic backstory.”

This is what it generated:

I do not know why, however the concept of an AI designed to assist in giving viewers running a blog recommendations on YouTube made me consider a cute robotic cat plugging away behind the scenes.

To convey my imaginative and prescient to life, I advised Open AI to generate a picture of a running a blog robotic cat with a easy, cartoonish design.

I tweaked the immediate to generate as many photographs as attainable however in the end settled on the one under.

Another photographs of robotic cats typing on computer systems have been most likely extra correct to the immediate, however the picture I selected is simply too cute to not use. From there, I used Canva to include the AI picture right into a YouTube banner.
