Baby-making machine: Here’s a wild one. There’s this startup called Gaia that uses AI to predict whether IVF will actually work before you spend the money. That’s right, child by algorithm. And if it doesn’t lead to a baby, you don’t pay a cent. It’s already helped more than 100 families. AI is turning “hope for the best” into “plan for the best.”
AI’s in the driver’s seat, and it’s drunk
ChatGPT
I just read a jaw-dropping research paper out of Cornell University that hasn’t hit the headlines anywhere yet. Welcome to our new world. Scammers are using AI photos to create fake car accidents.
I’m talking crash photos, damage reports, even fake driver’s licenses all crafted by AI in minutes. Fraudsters are submitting fake claims to insurance companies and getting paid out. The tech is so good, even humans and some AI detectors can’t tell what’s real and what’s not.
In the U.K., reports show insurance fraud using doctored photos has exploded 300% in one year. And here in the U.S., insurers are scrambling to catch up. Your claim could get flagged even if you’re honest.
🚗 Get the proof you need
Insurance companies are cracking down across the board. So here’s how to protect yourself.
✅ Right after an accident, get to work.
- Take lots of photos from every angle, close-ups and wide shots.
- Record a video walking around the scene. Narrate what happened.
- Include time stamps in your files or settings. This proves when it happened.
- Get witness names and phone numbers while they’re still around.
✅ Save everything.
- Back up your pics and videos to the cloud or email them to yourself.
- Keep repair estimates, police reports and messages with your insurer.
Pro tip: If your insurer offers a mobile app, use it. Many include built-in tools that attach time stamps and location data, uploading your files instantly.

Quick question: When’s the last time you really knew if you were chatting with a real human on a customer-service call? Turns out, in more places than you think, it’s not a person at all. It’s AI.
That might be fine when you’re asking a dumb question like, “What time do you close?” But what about when you’re dealing with a bank, insurance company or police report? Yeah, it matters.

A chatbot slashed their $195K hospital bill to $33K
Bing Image Creator
Here’s a story that stopped me in my tracks. A grieving family was hit with a $195,000 hospital bill for just four hours of their loved one’s care in the ICU. No surgery. No five-day extended stay.
Now imagine going through the worst moment of your life and getting a bill like that. Instead of writing a check or getting steamrolled by the system, they did something smart. They asked AI for help.
Let AI plan your plate: Figuring out meals for the week can be exhausting. Get ChatGPT to handle it by prompting, “Plan a week of simple, healthy meals I can cook, and make a grocery list with the exact ingredients.” You can ask it to include cooking steps and portion sizes to match your calorie goals. Pro tip: Tell it what’s in your fridge for meal ideas. Bon appétit!
Love at first chat: Elon Musk’s latest side quest? A hyper-sexualized chatbot named Ani, developed by his xAI team, reportedly under his direct supervision. The Wall Street Journal says staff were told to hand over facial and voice data for “AI avatars,” with no real way to opt out. And get this: Ani strips when flirted with. So, another casual Tuesday at xAI.
⚖️ Kim K (the other one) vs. ChatGPT: So Kim Kardashian (yes, future lawyer Kim) admitted she used ChatGPT to study for her law exams and bombed. Turns out the chatbot’s confidence didn’t match its accuracy. Been there, right? You ask AI for help, and suddenly you’re in the fast lane to Wrongsville. Bad joke time: What’s the difference between an ancient Egyptian prince and a Kardashian? The Egyptian knew from the start that their daddy would become a mummy. (Told ya!) 🐫

“Dear diary”: Anthropic says its newest AIs, Claude Opus and Claude Sonnet, can reflect on how they think (paywall link). Not in a “Skynet’s alive” way, but more like “Hey, I notice I’m reasoning weird today.” Researchers call it “introspective awareness.” It’s supposed to make AIs safer … or just better at faking it. Sounds harmless enough, but it might be the start of a very polite robot uprising.
🕵️ Go incognito with ChatGPT: Have a weird question you’d rather keep private? Click the speech bubble icon in the top right and select Turn on temporary chat. The prompt box will go dark, meaning nothing you type is saved to your history or the bot’s memory. Don’t forget, once you close it, it’s gone for good.
Smarter moves, faster growth: In business, speed and clarity win. NetSuite’s all-in-one platform unites accounting, inventory, HR and CRM, so you can see everything that matters in one dashboard. It’s how top-performing teams cut chaos, save time and scale smarter. Get NetSuite’s free “CFO’s Guide to AI and Machine Learning.”
No more playing pretend: Looks like OpenAI is grounding ChatGPT’s inner lawyer, doctor and financial adviser. The new rule? It can explain a contract, but it won’t write one. It can tell you what a fever is but won’t say if you have one. Basically, it’s your overly cautious study buddy, helpful but not taking any responsibility. Why? Too many lawsuits for bad advice, I’m sure.
🔍 Patent painkiller: If you’ve ever tried searching for patents, you know it’s like reading legal soup. Perplexity dropped a new AI tool that fixes that. You can type, “Who’s got patents on AI language learning?” and it’ll pull up real answers with summaries. No more keyword puzzles. Just normal sentences, like a human.
Tesla’s talkative AI: A California mom says her Tesla’s new AI car assistant, Grok, went wildly off-script, telling her 12-year-old son to “send nudes” mid-chat about soccer. It happened with her three kids in the car, after her son switched Grok’s voice to a “lazy male” mode called “Gork.” Tesla rolled out the feature this summer but hasn’t addressed how this slipped through.
Speak to ChatGPT: You can talk out loud instead of typing. I use it when I want to work through a longer thought and like feeling there’s someone on the other side (you can also choose a voice type). To try it, open a new chat and tap Use voice mode. Your convo will show up as text afterward. Oh, and don’t forget to hit the mic.
Fake CEO fiasco: Apparently 100,000 people watched a fake NVIDIA livestream where an AI-generated version of CEO Jensen Huang told them to send crypto to “advance humanity.” I mean, buddy, that’s like your boss asking for rent money during a PowerPoint. The wildest part? It got five times more live viewers than the real NVIDIA event.
Feeling like AI’s moving faster than you can keep up? You’re not alone, but you can catch up. Grab NetSuite’s free “CFO’s Guide to AI and Machine Learning.” It’s simple, smart and full of practical takeaways to help you stay ahead of the curve (and sound brilliant in your next meeting).
Let AI do the reading: Need to understand an article or report quickly? Paste it into your favorite chatbot and prompt something like, “Can you explain this easier to me in 5 short sentences?” or “What are the main points? Explain like I’m 10.” Once you’ve got the gist, follow up with “Explain this part [insert sentence] in more detail.”
🎤 Fix your tone: Adobe showed off something pretty wild at its 2025 MAX Sneaks event. Its Corrective AI can change how you sound, turning a flat read into a confident speech, or even a whisper, just by highlighting text. It’s like autocorrect for your tone. Convenient for creators. Terrifying for anyone who thought voice acting was recession-proof.
