šø This Fake AI Soldier Fooled Millions!
A fully AI-generated āNational Guard officerā went viral during the LA protestsāhereās how it exposed the dark side of AI misinformation.

My fellow AI explorers
AI voice tech just leapt from impressive to borderline humanāand youāll hear it for yourself in todayās deep dive.
But voice isnāt the only thing that leveled up this week. ChatGPT quietly dropped some serious business upgrades (including meeting transcription, deep file context, and MCP connectors), Meta's building a full-stack AI ads platform, and Google's NotebookLM is finally shareable. Ohāand yes, you can now make your AI avatar gesture on command.

AI Voice
š£ļø ElevenLabs Just Made AI Voices... Emotional
The alpha version of ElevenLabs V3 is out, and itās a game-changer for AI audio.
This update isnāt just a quality bumpāitās a leap into emotionally aware voice generation. Here's what stood out:
Add emotional tags like āconcerned,ā āexcited,ā or āskepticalā directly into your script
Voice agents now pause, sigh, and intonate like real humans
Conversational AI gets natural turn-taking and multilingual support
We tested it: the voice apologized for interrupting, paused in the right places, and even sounded better than most human podcast hosts.
šÆ Prediction: This unlocks a new tier of voice agentsāones youāll actually want to talk to. Expect these models to power customer support bots, storytelling tools, and AI companions across industries.

š ChatGPT for Teams Just Got Wildly Useful
OpenAI dropped some powerful business-focused featuresābut only for Teams, Enterprise, and EDU users (sorry, Plus subscribers).
Hereās whatās new:
Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, and more via Deep Research
Launch meeting recordings that transcribe, summarize, and extract action items
Add MCP connectors (Model Context Protocol) like a universal AI USB-C port
You can now:
ā
Store company docs, missions, and roadmaps
ā
Summon up-to-date Fed data, Slack threads, or CRM content
ā
Share context-rich chats with just a link
š§ Pro tip: Create a āCompany Docsā folder and use Deep Research to turn your AI into a strategy assistant that actually knows what you're building.
š® Takeaway: This isnāt just chatbot fluffāitās the backend of a real AI workflow engine. Businesses will start building internal GPTs with full operational memory.

š§¢ Meet āBobā: The Fake Soldier Misleading Millions on TikTok
AI misinformation just hit a disturbing new highāthis time, in the middle of real-life protests in Los Angeles.
A TikTok account posted a video of āBob,ā an alleged National Guard soldier giving a behind-the-scenes look at crowd control. The video has over 1 million views. But hereās the twist:
Bob is 100% AI-generated, from his voice to his face
Subtle clues gave it away: a fake badge, āLAPCā instead of āLAPD,ā and garbled traffic lights
The account behind Bob posts satire, but thereās no disclaimer in the video itself
Thousands commented thinking Bob was real, thanking him for his service.
But it gets worse.
Some users tried to verify photos from the protests using AI chatbots. ChatGPT falsely said they were from Afghanistan, 2021. Grok gave the same answerāthen later corrected itself. The real photos? Verified by the San Francisco Chronicle just days ago.
ā ļø Takeaway: In fast-moving events, AI can mislead both through generation and misinformation. And the average viewer? Often has no idea theyāre watching fiction.

š¤ Record, Transcribe, and Summarize Meetings in ChatGPT
Got the Teams plan? Hereās how to use ChatGPT as your full meeting assistant:
Open ChatGPT (Teams/Enterprise only)
Start a voice recording in the chat window
Let it transcribe and summarize your session
Save summaries in a shared folder for project continuity
š Pro tip: Create a new project folder per campaign. Store all meeting recaps, notes, and brainstorms thereāChatGPT will use it as live memory for deep research and follow-ups.
š¼ Why it matters: For growing teams, this is a must. No more missing context between meetingsāyour assistantās already keeping track.
