What's in a name? When it comes to AI, everything.

Imagine having a digital assistant that doesn't just respond to your queries but understands your preferences, recognizes your communication style, and even addresses you by name. This game-changing approach to AI interaction forms the heart of our latest discussion on The Tech Hustle.

Bobby D reveals how naming his AI "Jules" transformed his entire relationship with the technology. It's not just about giving your AI a cute nickname—it's about creating a consistent persona that makes digital interactions feel more human and productive. The team explores how ChatGPT's custom instructions feature lets you specify not only what to call your AI but how it should address you and what information it should remember about your preferences and life.

As Raymond notes when sharing his experience rewriting emails, generic AI responses often come out "like a piece of chicken with no season." The difference after personalization? Responses that sound natural and authentically you. D-Hustle contemplates naming his AI "Bentley," while sharing that his wife calls hers "Consuela"—creating associations that help define what they expect from their digital assistants.

Beyond AI personalization, we dive into Apple's $5 million lawsuit from a user unable to recover encrypted data, Tesla's upcoming affordable model, and Raymond's tech nuggets featuring Camel Camel Camel for Amazon price tracking and RunPee—an app that might just be "one of the most important apps created for mankind" according to Raymond. We wrap with a comprehensive sports update covering NBA playoffs, NHL action, and more.

Join us for a conversation that will forever change how you interact with AI. What will you name yours?

Welcome to a mind-bending journey through the rapidly evolving world of AI-generated imagery. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on OpenAI's revolutionary image generator that's creating visuals so realistic, they're virtually indistinguishable from professional photography. The demonstration we share will leave you questioning what's real and what's artificial.

We make a bold prediction that within five years, the first billion-dollar movie entirely generated by AI will hit theaters.
