Nicole from Washington, D.C., recently wrote, “Hi, Kim, I love your shows on WTOP. I read your article about how to use AI to write a book. I want to write a children’s book. But I’m no artist!”
Nicole, I love this idea. But you absolutely don’t need to be an artist to pull this off. Thanks to AI, you’ve got everything you need to create a gorgeous, meaningful children’s book from scratch.
💳 AI joins accounting’s dark side: Looks like AI’s taking up “creative accounting” as a side hustle. Expense software firms are catching a wave of AI-generated fake receipts, saying fakes make up 14% of all fraud attempts, complete with logos, bogus signatures and even wrinkles in the paper. CFOs are sweating, and expense apps are, get this, using AI to fight AI.
🕵️♀️ Take your privacy off the market: Data brokers quietly collect and sell your personal info: your email, phone number, even where you live. Incogni automatically removes your data from these sites before it’s sold or leaked. Real protection, running quietly in the background, so you can live life, not defend it.
Autopilot brain: An Illinois Tesla driver blamed Autopilot after rear-ending a parked police cruiser, because of course they did. The guy admitted he was asleep while the car “drove itself.” Nobody was seriously hurt, but the police (and reality) reminded everyone that Autopilot isn’t “nap mode.” If your wake-up alarm is a cop siren, you might be doing the whole car thing wrong.
Apple’s leak problem: Apple can’t catch a break. Its “awe-dropping” event leaks were bad enough, but now the FCC is leaking, too (paywall link). Filings revealed new model numbers for MacBook Pros, iPad Pros and even an updated Vision Pro, likely all rocking fresh M5 chips. The kicker? These leaks didn’t come from insiders. They came from the government.
🤝 Own a website? While Google, OpenAI and Anthropic eat everyone’s content buffet-style for free, Search.com said, “How about we actually pay the chefs?” Their new AI search tool gives creators 60% of ad revenue, promises no scraping without consent and lets sites embed AI chatbots for free. It’s a small shift, but it could help keep your site, as well as your favorites, alive.
Don’t let AI play doctor: People are still asking ChatGPT for medical advice, and it’s going horribly wrong. One guy cooked with pool sanitizer because AI said it was a salt alternative. Another skipped the ER during a stroke. Look, ask AI for dinner ideas, not diagnoses.
GPT-5’s office gossip: OpenAI dropped a ChatGPT update called “company knowledge,” and it’s like giving your AI an all-access pass to Slack, Google Drive and GitHub. It reads everything, finds what you need and even cites sources. Ask it, “What are 2026’s goals?” and it begins rummaging internal sources. You have to turn on “company knowledge” manually when starting a chat, so it won’t snoop unless you let it.
When suitcase becomes suitchase: If you’re smart like me, you put AirTags inside your luggage. Now, Apple’s letting airlines track your lost luggage with you. Through the “Share Item Location” feature, you can give Delta, United and 30 other airlines a live link to your AirTag. Translation: No more awkwardly pointing at a map, saying, “It’s somewhere in Denver.”
