Part 1 Introduction to Fine Tunes
===

Elizabeth: [00:00:00] Hi everyone. Welcome to the first class of the Fine Tunes. Class of the Fine Tunes extravaganza. We had been working with Fine Tunes in the Future Fiction Academy since December of 2023. We actually started researching on them in October and November, and it took us quite a while to kind of figure them out.

We shared that post on the Open AI forums and we were immediately contacted by John Allard, who's actually in one of the videos that I give you a link to, about our work in Fine Tunes because we were one of the first organizations to publicly talk about. Long form content, fine tunes. It was something that the people at Open AI didn't even know it was really possible at the time.

They had been focusing on short pieces for fine tunes. That's what most of the examples had been. And I'm happy to tell you now that a whole year later. , advances in fine tunes are something that authors should not sleep on. There is more and more content being published every single day with either [00:01:00] AI assistance, long passages with AI in it, or AI writing the entire book.

Yeah, that's happening. And I think there's like two ways to deal with this. You can either be like, I need to protest and boycott and try to stop it, which none of us really have the power to do. Or you can start to learn about the technology and figure out what does it mean for you being in this industry?

How do you remain competitive for the next five to 10 years? And I think fine tunes is actually the ticket for that because a fine tune. Is your special sauce? A fine tune is your special model that you've tweaked and made your own. And that's something that everybody else will not have access to.

It's something that only you will have access to. So even as production, speeds kind of require authors to at least think about AI for some part of their workflow. A fine tune is what allows you to still leverage ai, but. Bring that special, [00:02:00] unique voice that's yours to this amazing technology so that basically you can kind of clone yourself.

All right, let's take a look at your notes.
