Some favorite ways (almost) anyone can leverage AI right now (without experience, or need for fear). TFG028

By some counts, over 300M (300,000,000) humans are daily active users of AI presently, while others suggest the number is closer to a billion (1,000,000,000). While I postulate that this likely includes people getting recommendations from Amazon, Spotify, and social media algorithms rather than intentionally prompting an AI model expecting a specific outcome, I am happy to adopt this statistic for sake of conversation, and to even accept the higher number of 1B (1,000,000,000 human beings). In stark comparison, of the more than 8B (8,000,000,000) humans on earth, more than 5.5B (5,500,000,000) are daily users of the internet, with direct access to it.

This suggests that somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.5B humans (4,500,000,000) who have access to free AI tools are not yet using AI.

This is staggering. More than half of earth's human population have access to and use the internet daily, but less than 20% are currently leveraging its power. To put this in perspective, if we added the populations of Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai, Dhaka, Cairo, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Beijing, Mumbai, Osaka, New York, Chicago, Miami, London, LA, Dubai, Paris, Toronto, Lima and Rio all together with their metropolises the aggregate is still under half a billion people. The total populations of all these major cities around the world is barely 1/10th the amount of humans with access to the internet who don't yet use AI as part of their daily lives.

To people like me who use AI daily to make music, music videos, social media content (not my posts or this newsletter - these are labors of love, and "my babies"), to do outreach for me, to create decks and websites, to automate significant chunks of my workflow, to communicate with and visualize my data, to help with finances and so much more this is nearly incomprehensible - but it presents massive opportunity in many varied capacities. But first, we need to understand

why are 4.5B humans choosing not to use AI in their daily lives yet?

And the answer seems to be relatively obvious:

FEAR.

And if so, it makes sense, and mustn't be judged. There's fear of the unknown, fear of judgement, fear of inaccurate outputs, fear of being made redundant... there's fear of how it will impact humanity, and how it feels about humanity; people are scared that the AI could "take over" or take us/them "out", they're concerned that humans and the tech are both trying to "play God"... the list in nonexhautive: they're scared they don't know how to use it, don't know what it does, don't know what tools to use, don't know how much it will cost but are sure it's expensive... so what do we do about it? Well, at LovingIs... A.I. we are both coding and downloading ("channeling"; esoterically) the models, and tapping in to the true divine intelligence as well as removing as many (all?) of the legitimate reasons humans are presently still so apprehensive of this new, emergent, potentially incredible technology, but there's much more that we can be doing - societally - to help us all get and remain ahead of the curve.

To that, end - here are four ways I've found that anyone can use, "get" and leverage AI for free today without experience, with some light tutorials and ideas on how to fully understand the draw, potential, and help more humans who wish to "cross over to the other side".


I've shared the following tools in detail with tutorials, hacks, links, promo codes and more in my previous newsletter which are fully interactive, immersive, accessible, and digestible all for free in Issue #001 of Tech For Good newsletter (of which you're presently reading #28) for those who'd like to take a deeper dive, but here are 4 amazing ways to use AI today - for free - that can be absolute game-changers. Obviously agents (MCP, A2A - if you don't know these terms yet, I detail them in other issues and believe these are "need to know" concepts for all right now, but for now, carry on), but to help anyone from beginner to expert get caught up completely who isn't presently, I encourage you to learn and play around with:

Vibe Coding, 1:1 tutoring, Music Generation, and Role Playing conversations. Let's dive in!

Vibe Coding: so this concept is essentially "turn your thoughts into software, apps, etc. with no-code" as made possible and popular by platforms like Cursor, Bolt, Replit, Cognition's Devin and now, notably, Firebase - which is effectively a new Google product that is rapidly catching up with the others named. The premise is this: tell the AI what type of app, website, game or software you want and it just starts coding and building it for you - starting with architecture through to deployment - and people are already making millions off the products and tools they're building. Now that Google is in the game with firebase but also with MCP (model context protocol) and now A2A (agents to agents) soon the AI will tell itself what to build you for your requiem outcomes, build it, deploy it, run it etc all on y/our behalf's. MIND BLOWING stuff. Try it yourself by going to any of the above's websites via their LinkedIn business pages.

1:1 tutoring: this one is so powerful, and definitely best in voice mode(s - just like the fourth agenda item: role playing). The idea is that by putting ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok etc. into voice mode, that you can speak to it just like you would a tutor, coach, counselor, etc. Speaking to it verbally, audibly, and interactively unleashes a power in the dynamic, synergy, and results that we humans can get from using LLMs or other AI tools. Use it as a tutor to learn a new language, to learn about neural networks, to learn how to pitch your product, to interact with ICPs and even how to use AI. There's a reason these voice features were such a big deal when Microsoft 'bought' it from Inflection AI and immediately licensed it to Meta, OpenAi and Google - and when used properly, it's the game changer it was initially billed as being.

Music Generation: I also love image and video generation, as well as music video generation (shoutout #Plazmapunk!) but to me the music generation like Suno, Udio, Uberduck and many others have created is next level and what makes my life fully "worth living" right now. As a music lover, a musician, a producer, a singer-songwriter, frontman, manager, fan, promoter, technical founder, and again - LOVER of music, this one is near and dear to my heart, but not without significant need for conversation. James Cameron recently said with regards to IP and AI that the focus should be on outputs not inputs - in other words, the fact that these engines were trained on "all the songs" shouldn't be deemed "problematic" unless it regurgitates them. Sadly, I've been able to nearly reproduce songs I love such as Pharcyde "Passing Me By", Souls of Mischief "'93 til infinity", William DeVaughn "Be Thankful For What You've Got" and many others with some prompt hacks I've cultivated, as well as signature sounds like DJ Screw (and OG Ron C, Swishahouse) and others relatively easily... demonstrating the need for blockchain, proof-of-provenance, and more. But it's so fun - I believe my AI generations are currently better than 95% of all human made music, although I'm also 100% sure I still write and freestyle lyrics that are orders of magnitude better than AI can and maybe ever will be able to conjure...

But some things to know - writing your own lyrics rather than using ChatGPT or their internal 'generate' features will generate substantially better songs yet - even if you're not a lyricist!

The more specific you get in the description of style and sound, then more control you can have

You can use : and * and ( and { etc in the lyrics rather than the prompt/style to fine tune the beats, vocals, aesthetic etc as well as specific production notes

To "cover" songs you shouldn't be allowed to you can accurately describe the sounds and artists and use the same lyrics if you just change like 10% of the words ever so slightly

Post-production is available, and it your friend

Also, free AI music videos are available generate on Plazmapunk for now... (see my IG for a great recent example, or DM for a link). There's obviously much more, but this is a great starter kit other than the encouragement to just go get started and to play around with it on your own. If you need help or have questions, message me as well, or drop a comment.

Role Playing conversations: this is also an incredibly powerful use of AI right now, and is totally available for free to anyone with internet access. This is also best in voice mode. Give the AI a persona, tell it what you're selling or curious about etc., and try to "sell it" or pick its brain. It's not judging you, isn't susceptible to "tricks" etc. but can help overcome objections, anticipate rejections, refine verbiages and much more. Having an impartial "intelligent entity" to give us feedback, give us "their" time etc. can prove to be hugely impactful in our businesses, lives, etc.


So these are four ways people like myself and many others are currently using AI - others include doing taxes, creating websites, marketing collateral, applying for grants, and much more.

If you know of other use-cases, tools or hacks that can serve other readers of Tech For Good newsletter, please free to share them in the comments below as well. We are presently all adding to the digital akashic record - TOGETHER WE RISE.

For those who are concerned about IP and attribution - many of us are. That said, I can share that in 1997 and 1998 I contributed significantly to Davey D's Corner, SOLHH (support online hip-hop), Redline/ICU and other online hip-hop forums with thousands of verses and hundreds of hours of my time and "keystyle" skills that I ultimately heard in songs that made it to radio (no names but I'd say like something we'd put on smoked salmon bagels but take that no diddy and others beyond computation etc lol) and was never given "props" or compensation but always was glad to have contributed in same way to pop culture, and ultimately acquiesced that I'd "put it out there", and had no recourse, so... I guess all we can do is try to keep skating to where the puck is heading, to understand where we're at and headed (as well as where we're coming from) and to 'learn to surf', because "this wave is perceptibly coming toward this beach".

Let's shred.


Please share with us all if you're currently using AI, and if so - for what, and what tools are you using? For those looking to collaborate, I'm currently on-boarding new 1:1 viral growth clients, am available for keynotes, am raising investment rounds for several of my own and others' I'm also invested in's futuristic projects, am always open to value-aligned sponsors, and have massive business pages in niche verticals that go viral daily available for lease or purchase. Feel free to reach out if it makes sense. Stay tuned for #29 and beyond... and thanks for now 215,000 subscribers of Tech For Good newsletter - ensure you're subscribed and you're encouraged to invite friends as well - the more of us "in the know", the better - in more ways than one! You're appreciated and amazing.

Thanks for tuning in.

And now, this:

I always love to close with a Techitoons, but this one from ChatGPT about AI in 2026 is a bit dark, and hopefully not foreshadowing. I guess at least we can see here that the intelligence still believes that our elders are "in control"... however the bad news is that the machine apparently has 'turned evil'. At least it's likely not too late...

Please share your thoughts, comments, concerns, tips, tricks, heckles, advice, constructive criticism and better humor in the comments below. Thanks for reading, subscribing, and being part of this community! Signing off,

I think mentoring when used with care. I frequently use Claude to brainstorm and it is a good thought companion - when used with caution. Love how you stimulate the thinking with #tech4good Cory!
