ChatGPT's adult-only content 😅

Hi Non-Techies,

There have been loads more big AI announcements and releases over the last week - it feels like every day something massive is happening at the moment.

Having finally recovered from Monday morning’s tech blackout (what a way to start the working week, am I right?!), I’ve done my best to compile the most interesting and (hopefully) Non-Techie-relevant news for your perusal.

Keep reading for ChatGPT’s foray into erotica and an intro to our new Copilot course.

The great switchover 🔄

For years, Techies have been warning us about the great switchover. What started as the internet equivalent of a doomsdayer on a street corner quickly became a legitimate theory.

Now, that theory has become a reality - there is more AI-generated content on the internet than human-created content.

The study comes from Graphite, which studied 65,000 articles across a five-year stretch.

The astute amongst you will have noticed that the trend appears to be plateauing, though. Whilst there was a burst of AI-generated content soon after ChatGPT was released, the curve has steadied in the last year or so.

For me, this is a sign that whilst AI-generated content is easy to produce, it isn’t necessarily having the impact that its publishers had hoped. I mean, are you reading AI-produced content regularly? Probably not.

It’s another reminder for us Non-Techies that whilst AI adoption has been aggressive, it’s here to sit alongside human-created content, not replace it altogether.

ChatGPT is about to reach adulthood 😳

Last week, Sam Altman revealed that OpenAI will soon be able to “safely relax the restrictions” that have curtailed ChatGPT’s adult-only content.

ChatGPT will also get a personality revamp after complaints that ChatGPT 5 is a bit too…wooden.

As Sam explains in his tweet, this is part of the “treat adult users like adults” policy at OpenAI. So if you want erotica from ChatGPT, you can have it from December.

Hey, I’m not here to judge how people want to use their AI tools. For me, the big talking point for Non-Techies here is how workplaces might interpret these new developments.

Sam Altman was careful to stress that users “won’t get it unless they ask for it” - it’s not like you’ll ask for a marketing plan and it’ll reply with something that wouldn’t be out of place in 50 Shades of Grey.

Still, I feel like this could be used by workplaces to enforce restrictive rules that limit our capacity to use AI to its full potential. Time will tell. What are your thoughts on this?

Claude gets some new Skills 📈

Anthropic has given Claude some new skills. Ingeniously, they’ve called them Skills.

What are Skills?

Skills are customisable instructions that Claude can use again and again. As their article reads, “Think of Skills as custom onboarding materials that let you package expertise, making Claude a specialist on what matters most to you.”

You upload them as a folder into Claude’s brain, and then it can call upon that Skill when delivering work.

What’s a use case for Skills?

I used a marketing plan as an example in the last section, so I’ll use it again here. Let’s say you want to create a marketing plan for your business. You could create a Skill in Claude that shares your brand guidelines. A different Skill could share your revenue goals for Q4. A third Skill could share the marketing assets you have at your disposal.

Claude can combine and “stack” your Skills to create something totally cohesive.

Crucially, Skills are repeatable. They use the same format everywhere. So if you’ve uploaded your brand guidelines once, you can call upon that Skill again and again for decks, ad creative, reports and just about anything else you can think of.

Skills are available to Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise users. This 70-second video demonstrates how they’re used nicely 👇

Copilot’s huge improvements 🚀

Long-time readers of this newsletter will know that I haven’t exactly been a cheerleader for Microsoft’s flagship AI tool, Copilot, in recent years.

It used to be way behind rival tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.

But that’s not the case anymore. Moaning about Copilot is so 2024. It’s come on in leaps and bounds since then.

I did a webinar about these improvements earlier this week, where I talked about five features I love about Copilot in 2025:

Chat - proper prompting and nifty prompt tweaking tips
Notebook - an interactive knowledge bank
Agents - build your own chatbot (no tech skills needed)
Create - design quality images in your brand style
Apps - a handy helper in Outlook, Excel, Word, etc.

It coincides with a new course we’re launching at AIFNT HQ, the 12-week Ultimate Copilot for Work course. Go from nervous dabbler to saving 10+ hours every week and enrol today 👇

Some more interesting stuff we found this week:

🎥 Google launches Veo 3.1 - the latest instalment in its video production and editing tool.

🤝 Anthropic integrates Claude and Microsoft 365 for Enterprise users.

Right then, I’m off to pack Claude with as many Skills as I possibly can.

See you next week? I hope so.

Heather and the AIFNT team.
