The Tech Skeptic Who Finally Saw the Light (aka My Wife vs. AI)

Let me start by saying this—I love my wife dearly. She’s smart, hardworking, and somehow manages to keep three feral children alive while running a household, a rental property, and now restarting her part-time med spa business. But when it comes to tech?

Absolute. Disaster.

I mean, we’re talking struggles-to-turn-on-the-TV level bad. If WiFi goes down, she treats it like a national emergency. If the printer jams, we may as well just move houses. And don’t even get me started on her laptop—let’s just say, if “Did you try turning it off and on again?” was a person, it would file for a restraining order against my wife.

Now, considering I work from home and literally live and breathe AI, you’d think at some point she would have asked, “Hey, what exactly is this ChatGPT thing you keep talking about?” But nope. Not a clue.

Until… my moment arrived.

I had the perfect plan. I uploaded ChatGPT onto her phone (which, for the record, took longer than it should have because she kept asking, "Where did you put it?"—Ma’am, it’s the giant app on your home screen). Then, I bookmarked the website on her laptop, just in case she lost the app in the abyss of her 167 open Safari tabs.

Finally, I set the stage.

We were sitting down to work on her new med spa website, and I asked her, “What do you want to say on the homepage?” She started talking, giving me all her ideas… and little did she know, ChattyG (ChatGPT) was listening.

The second she finished, I turned my laptop around and showed her the perfectly written website copy.

Her eyes went wide. "OMG, that's totally it! How did you do that so fast?"

I smirked. “Because I’m just that good.”

She rolled her eyes but was intrigued. So, I pushed my luck.

I had her sit down and ask AI to create a logo. Then her specials. Then her pricing. Then her 90-day business plan.

Within 30 minutes, her entire business was practically built.

And that’s when it happened.

She turned to me, dead serious, and asked, “WHY DID YOU NEVER SHOW ME THIS BEFORE?”

Excuse me?

I think my soul left my body for a second.

“You mean, why didn’t you ever listen to the MILLION TIMES I showed you how cool this was?”

She shrugged. “Well… maybe you should’ve done a better job explaining it.”

I wanted to flip the table. But instead, I basked in the glow of my victory.

Because my wife—the most tech-skeptical human to ever exist—is now a full-blown AI addict.

She writes letters to our kids’ teachers with it.
She translates messages for our contractors in Portugal.
She asks AI for business advice.
She even reminds me to “ask ChatGPT” when I have a question.

The same woman who used to yell, “WHY IS THE INTERNET BROKEN?!” when her Bluetooth speaker disconnected… now uses AI daily.

Sure, it only took two years for her to finally “listen” (or, you know, for me to “explain it better” 🙄), but we did it.

Another skeptic turned power user.

And that, my friends, is how the AI revolution begins—one stubborn, tech-averse spouse at a time.

HighLevel Insider: Forms & Surveys – The Secret Sauce to Better Conversions

Let’s talk about Forms and Surveys in HighLevel—because let’s be honest, if your forms aren’t optimized, you’re probably losing leads faster than you can say "why aren’t people filling these out?" This latest HighLevel update takes Forms and Surveys to the next level with better customization, smarter organization, and a brand new Quizzes feature (still in beta, but worth watching). Here’s everything you need to know to start building better forms today.

The Big Takeaways

Forms & Surveys 101: Where to Find Them
You know how it goes—click the wrong tab and suddenly you're knee-deep in settings you never meant to touch. So, here’s the shortcut: Head to Sites > Forms & Surveys inside HighLevel. You’ll find three tools waiting for you:

• Forms – Long, single-page data-collecting machines. Perfect for booking, lead capture, and general "tell me everything about you" moments.

• Surveys – One question per page, so it feels more like a fun quiz and less like a government application.

• Quizzes – (Beta) Because sometimes you want to test your leads before they test you.

Pro-Level Form Organization (Don’t Skip This!)
Messy forms? Messy life. Stay organized:

• Use Folders! No one enjoys scrolling through a graveyard of unnamed forms.

• Number Your Forms – Try "01 - Demo Forms" instead of "New Form 876." Future you will thank you.

The Key to Customization (and Not Breaking Things!)
Look, HighLevel gives you a lot of ways to tweak fields, but here’s the deal:

• DO NOT TOUCH THE QUERY KEY. Seriously. It’s like the red wire in a spy movie—mess with it, and the whole thing implodes.

• Use Required Fields Wisely – Force people to actually fill out what you need (but maybe don’t demand their childhood pet’s name).

Pro-Tier Design & User Experience Hacks
If your form looks like it was made in 1999, your leads are bouncing. Fix that:

• Multi-column layout – Because no one wants to scroll forever.

• Custom Buttons – "Submit" is boring. Try "Let’s Do This!" or "Book My Spot!" instead.

• Conditional Logic – Automatically send unqualified leads to "Sorry, we’re full" messages (but nicely).

Surveys: The Lead Qualifying Game-Changer
Want better insights? Use surveys:

• One question per page keeps it easy to complete.

• Auto-save on partial submissions – Capture lead info before they ghost you.

• Trigger actions based on responses—so if someone gives you a 1-star demo review, an alert goes out faster than you can say "Oops."

Embedding & Integration – Get Your Forms Anywhere
A form is only useful if people see it:

• Embed on websites, pop-ups, or funnels so leads don’t have to go looking.

• Branded Links keep everything looking professional (instead of sending people to "randomlink.highlevelform.com").

• Facebook Pixel & Tracking Events let you monitor how your forms are converting.

💡Pro Tip: The One Form Setting You Should NEVER Use
Sticky Contact Data? Just say no. It tries to auto-fill info, but usually just pulls the wrong details—leading to "Hi, John!" emails sent to Sarah. Cringe.

Final Thoughts: Why This Matters
Your forms and surveys aren’t just about collecting data—they’re about converting more leads, faster, with less frustration. A well-designed form = more submissions, better data, and fewer abandoned leads. HighLevel just made forms and surveys smarter, so now it’s up to you to make them work for your business. Get building!

AI Builds Corner: The 60-Second Lead Magnet Magic Trick

Imagine this: You need a sales page, a lead magnet, and a social media campaign—but you also need coffee, a nap, and maybe a vacation. Enter PageWheel, an AI-powered tool that promises to build stunning, high-converting landing pages, lead magnets, and marketing assets in under a minute. Sounds like magic, right?

• Writing social media content is an endless cycle of staring at a blinking cursor

Enter PageWheel—an AI tool that automates all of that.

The 60-Second Funnel Build

PageWheel does something crazy: It scrapes an Amazon product page and turns it into a fully designed, branded sales funnel in under a minute. Yes, I timed it.

5. If you don’t like it Hit refresh—PageWheel regenerates a new one

Lead Magnets Without the Pain

You know how people always say “Just create a lead magnet” like it’s the easiest thing ever Yeah, not so much. Creating PDFs, checklists, and eBooks usually requires multiple tools and hours of frustration.

The Social Media Secret Weapon

Once your sales page and lead magnet are ready, what’s next Marketing

• Matching graphics and captions—so you don’t have to search for images

AI Watch: The Week AI Took Over Everything

This week in AI was like a season finale of a sci-fi show—massive upgrades, new contenders, and a few plot twists that make you question reality. If you blinked, you probably missed at least five major AI breakthroughs. So let’s break it all down, without the jargon overload.

Claude 3.7 Sonic: The Code Whisperer

Anthropic dropped Claude 3.7 Sonic, and it’s making serious waves, especially in coding. The upgrade brings:

• Superior coding ability – Claude is now one of the best AI models for writing and debugging code.

• Extended thinking mode – Slows down responses for deeper, more thoughtful answers.

• Agentic capabilities – Moves closer to AI that can complete tasks on your behalf.

Users have already pushed Claude to its limits, using it to build entire websites, video games, and complex simulations—all from a single prompt. If you ever wanted proof that AI is becoming an actual co-developer, this is it.

GPT-4.5: More Vibes, Fewer Hallucinations

OpenAI finally launched GPT-4.5, and their big selling point? “Better vibes.” No, seriously. That’s what they said.

• More natural writing – Feels more like a human conversation than previous models.

• Better at simple Q&A – Outperforms older versions in quick knowledge recall.

• Fewer hallucinations – Drops from a 80% hallucination rate (for 3.5) to 37% (which is still a lot).

• Slower response time – But it's more detailed and “thoughtful.”

Here’s the catch: GPT-4.5 isn’t necessarily smarter—it just sounds better. Sam Altman even admitted it’s not a reasoning model and won’t dominate benchmarks. But if you need AI-generated YouTube titles or creative writing, this might be your new best friend.

Amazon’s Big AI Play: Alexa Gets a Brain Upgrade

Amazon announced Alexa Plus, a new AI-powered version of Alexa that’s actually smart. The upgrade includes:

• Conversational AI – It now remembers past interactions and makes context-based recommendations.

• Agentic abilities – You’ll soon be able to ask Alexa to book an Uber Eats order and actually customize the request.

• Claude integration – Turns out, Amazon is using Anthropic’s Claude to power the new Alexa, which explains why Anthropic is doubling down on agent-based AI.

AI-Generated Games & Art That Will Blow Your Mind

People have been pushing AI creativity to new limits this week, and the results are wild:

• AI-built video games – Entire racing and platformer games made in a single prompt.

• Self-aware Snake game – A version of Snake where the AI-controlled snake literally questions its existence while playing.

• AI-generated 3D cities – Users created entire digital cityscapes, complete with changing weather and moving pedestrians.

This isn’t just novelty—AI is speeding up game and app development from weeks to hours. If you're a developer, this is the new reality.

AI Image & Video Tools Just Went Next-Level

The AI art world had its own breakthrough week:

• Idiogram 2A – Now the best AI model for generating images with text inside them.

• Magnific's Structure Reference – Lets you input a reference image and transform it into new styles while keeping structure intact.

• Pika 2.0 – Creates AI-generated video transitions, making images morph between different scenes.

• Open-source AI video – A new platform called Onean AI is making high-quality AI-generated videos available for free.

AI art and video are no longer gimmicks. They’re evolving into full creative tools that could replace traditional design workflows.

AI That Talks, Listens, and… Flirts?

The race for AI voice technology is heating up:

• Groq’s Unhinged AI Voice Mode – Yes, this is real. Groq introduced a mode where the AI speaks like an off-the-rails, slightly unfiltered internet personality.

• Amazon’s Alexa Plus – Smarter, more conversational, and integrated with third-party services.

• Octave AI’s Next-Gen Text-to-Speech – A model that understands emotions and inflection, making AI-generated voices sound dramatically more human.

With AI voices becoming this realistic, expect AI-powered podcasts, customer service, and interactive entertainment to explode in the next year.

Final Thoughts: AI is Not Slowing Down

Every week, AI gets smarter, faster, and more creative—and the competition is only getting fiercer.

• Claude 3.7 is now the best AI for coding.

• GPT-4.5 is refining AI-human conversations.

• Amazon is finally making Alexa useful.

• AI-generated games, images, and videos are getting indistinguishable from human-made content.

If you’re not paying attention to AI, you’re already behind. The question isn’t if AI will reshape your business—it’s how fast it will happen.

Cool Shit We Found on the Internet: The Future is Artificial Reality

Let’s talk about what’s really happening here—because if you’re just watching AI models get better at writing, coding, and chatting, you’re missing the real revolution. AI isn’t just changing how we work—it’s about to completely change how we experience reality.

And I’m betting big on it.

Google’s AI Glasses & Android XR: The New Reality is Coming

Google just announced Android XR, its new AI-powered mixed reality platform in collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm. If you think this is just another VR headset announcement, think again—this is Google betting the future on AI-powered augmented reality (AR).

Why does this matter? Because we are so close to AI-powered artificial reality being a daily experience.

Here’s what’s coming:

• AI glasses that actually work – No more clunky, half-baked AR. These are lightweight, all-day devices.

• Real-time AI assistance – Imagine your glasses reading messages to you, summarizing conversations, giving instant recommendations, and navigating cities without pulling out your phone.

• Live AI translation – Travel anywhere and have conversations in any language in real-time—no more awkward Google Translate fumbling.

• AI-powered memory & guidance – Can’t remember where you left your keys? AI will. Need to hang a shelf? AI will literally walk you through it step by step.

• Embedded entertainment & work tools – Watch YouTube on a floating screen, attend Zoom meetings in AR, and relive photos in 3D spatial memory.

If you think AI chatbots and image generators are the future, this is the actual game-changer.

Why I’m Betting on Artificial Reality

I believe AR + AI is the real next wave. AI is impressive, but it’s still stuck inside our screens. We’re at the tipping point where AI will overlay itself onto reality—and that’s when everything changes.

Imagine AI that doesn’t just answer your questions but actually enhances your physical world.

• Walking through a store? Your AI highlights deals and product reviews in real-time.

• Driving in a new city? AI overlays directions onto your windshield.

• Cooking a meal? AI analyzes your dish and tells you if it’s done.

• Working on a project? AI shows step-by-step instructions as a hologram in front of you.

This isn’t 10 years away. This isn’t “maybe someday.” This is happening right now.

Google’s Android XR glasses will launch next year, but I guarantee this is just the beginning. Apple, Meta, and Microsoft will follow. AI will no longer be something we “use” on a screen—it will be something that exists all around us.

The Bottom Line: Get Ready for a New Reality

AI is moving beyond the screen. In a few years, you won’t “use” AI—you’ll live inside it. Whether it’s Google’s Android XR, Apple’s Vision Pro, or Meta’s smart glasses, one of these is going to hit mainstream adoption. And when that happens, the way we interact with information, work, and daily life will never be the same.

I’m making a bet that this is the biggest tech shift of the decade. And if you’re watching closely, you’ll see it coming before the rest of the world catches on.
