Featured Legends of AI
We use the following prompt to create the basic outline for the profiles listed here (we use ChatGPT Atlas, supplemented with Perplexity information in recent news): Write a post about this person with an introduction paragraph, followed by details about this person, followed by a bullet list of key achievements. Do not include links in the copy. Insert a 1-sentence TL;DR at the beginning.
This is the current Sora prompt we use to create the profile images: Create a well-lit, well-composed color portrait photo of this person wearing a dark blue suit with a black cinema curtain background.
And this one for group shots: Create a well-lit, well-composed color group portrait photo of these people wearing dark blue clothes against a black cinema curtain background.
We also use NotebookLM for experimental infographics with the following prompt: Use #111111 as the background color, white as the main color, and #4d87ff as the accent color.
