In 1984, James Cameron made the film The Terminator, where we saw a metal exoskeleton that could think, walk, and run. We all have imagined Artificial Intelligence as a robot, and slowly, it is becoming a reality, as shown in films and shows. Companies like Nvidia, Botlab Dynamics, Unitree, and many more are making advancements in these metal exoskeletons and developing new heights in robotics. This week was full of updates from the world of robotics, Meta’s new AI chatbot in WhatsApp, a potential deal between Midjourney and X(Twitter), and many more. In this article, we will discuss all the AI updates, some trending AI tools, and much more.

Prompt of the Week
Claude released Sonnet 3.5, which has larger tokens and context length, which means it can generate better content than ChatGPT, and the content is more humanized as compared to other text, which seems robotic while reading. Today, we are going to automate your writing process using Claude Sonnet 3.5 and train the bot to mimic your writing style. We can upload files on the Claude, and we use this feature to train the model. First, collect a chunk of the writing dataset(min. 4000) and paste it into the Claude.
Here is the prompt:
I have provided you with a bulk dataset of written material. Your task will be to understand the writing style and mimic it. You’ll start this conversation, “START,” and start training on the one-by-one line to understand the tone, style, and characteristics of this writing sample I’ve given. Now, after this, whenever I ask you to write on any topic, you will craft the written content based on my writing style of mine.
