Welcome to Episode 1127 of the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen. In this intriguing episode, we delve into the fascinating world of AI Art, with a focus on the newly released "The AI Whisperer Draws: AI Art Made Easy for the Non-Technical User Through MidJourney," the second installment in the bestselling The AI Whisperer Series.

Tune in as Severin gives us a unique insight into the creation process of the book, shares a captivating reading from the first chapter, and walks us through the book's diverse content, including an exploration of 50 practical business applications of AI Art.

The conversation then takes a deep dive into the intersection of visual AI, brain science, and the emotional resonance of keywords. Sorensen uncovers the intriguing phenomenon of how AI can both portray and interpret emotions, and how carefully crafted images can resonate with specific brain areas, or voxels, to evoke potent emotions.

"The AI Whisperer Draws" is designed with a broad audience in mind, catering to executive coaches, entrepreneurs, business owners, CEOs, key executives, and their teams, among others. The book is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.

In this podcast, you'll hear about the power of being an "AI whisperer" or a "ChatGPT whisperer" - terms used to describe individuals with an uncanny knack for communicating with AI language models like ChatGPT. With this knowledge, you'll be able to harness the AI's capabilities and transform your approach to art, creating more, visualizing more, and potentially giving birth to new industries.

Join us as Severin, an accomplished business coach and AI Whisperer, imparts the wisdom and tools to leverage AI platforms like ChatGPT and MidJourney for business applications, especially for those without a technical background.

Sorensen's unique perspective highlights the ethical considerations of AI and its vast potential to create novel opportunities, presenting AI as an ally, not a rival. His powerful assertion, "AI will not take your job, but someone who uses AI will," urges listeners to seize control of their destiny and embrace the world of AI.
