Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily AI Show. Today is October 14th, 2026 And yeah, we're live here weekdays, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific, just like we are today, just like we have been for the last 833 shows. I always have to think about what episode it is today. So that means we've been doing this fast maths as we've been doing this just over three years. And yeah, we have no intentions of stopping. So with me today to keep the ball rolling, is Andy and Beth and I'm Brian. And yeah, we'll see if anybody else pops in the door. I think we might see Karl here as well. And as always, we might see Garrett. So could be a full boat today, which will be super fun.

Thanks, everybody, in the comments. Joining us as well, if you want to join us live, you can do that. Just go over to YouTube and get into the live comments. That's the fastest way to do that.

So just go to the dailyaishow.com and everything you need will be there. All right. So let's get into it. I know we had a good full house yesterday. We had Anne and Karl and Beth here, as well as the three of us. But everybody seemed to be here at different times, which was interesting when I was doing the thumbnail because I was like, OK, there's six co-hosts, but you have to go search to find it. Honestly, I'll give you guys a quick update because I've been saying that I've been using this full automated process for the thumbnails. I do give inputs about, well, specifically yesterday, my input was, let's not go down the porn route for our thumbnail.

We had a long conversation that's going to sound funny if you didn't hear the show yesterday.

It was an above board conversation and was talking about, we were talking about character AI, we were talking about its implications in how it touches the adult entertainment community, if you will. We were having a conversation about that, but we talked about it for a while. As we were having a conversation, I was like, I know my process is going to be like, here's an idea, you guys talked about a whole lot. Here's my image for it, whatever. I was like, let's not. Good example of human in the loop when you're having processes is you have to sometimes adjust.

We took a different approach talking about meta, which is only funny because it uses it reused. This is cool too. Sorry, I'm going off on the tangent. These are all AI cool things from this process. It had known I used a version in the past of Muses, Meta's Muses mascot, I guess, the fuzzy, lububu looking thing.

I had used that prior to, but in a prior thumbnail, it was menacing. It was like, has it gotten out of the box? It was like a scowling one or whatever. Then it was like, well, I'll go use that as a reference point. But it recreated it and it's planning a flag, meaning was meta muse now part of the frontier. So planting a flag at the top of the mountain. It also was kind of coming out of the top of Andy's head. But that, you know, there's six of us, so there's six heads on there. Plus the thing, there's only so much you can do with a thumbnail and I left it alone. So it's actually, I would say, I'm definitely saying less to it. And there's definitely more days where I don't say anything to it. Like its first response back was good. Two days ago, there was an issue with Gareth's hat. He thought I did it on purpose. He thought I was blocking out San Francisco. It just botched the San Francisco 49ers logo on his hat. And instead of me trying to iterate through that, I said just put an oval there because it doesn't really matter for the thumbnail. Gareth, of course, came back and he's like, oh, I see you blocked out my San Francisco's. I said, well, yes, but not because of the reason you think I did it. I don't have any, it wasn't because I'm a Bucks fan or anything like that. It just was the easier process. So that's going really, really well. I think it's a testament to sticking with some not complete automations that just are annoying at first. They're like, oh my God, I feel like I'm doing twice as much work to get half the results. Why did I make this automation? Well, this is a good example of just sticking with it because slowly, but surely day by day by day, I've made tweaks and tweaks and tweaks and those have gone into, hey, remember this going forward, tight tweaks, some things are just the daily things, but a lot of things go into memory and they go into, don't do this again or let's not do this again now that I've seen it.
