A whimsical cartoon illustration of two AI robots dressed like mafia bosses, wearing oversized pinstripe suits and fedoras, proudly holding shiny golden Nobel Prizes, with exaggerated grins and glowing eyes.
The scene is drawn in a playful, Quentin Blake-inspired style, with watercolor and colored pencil strokes, set in a quirky tech-filled hideout.
Around them, comical, miniature robots serve coffee while neural networks dangle from the ceiling like spaghetti.
The tone is lighthearted and fun, with vibrant colors and loose, energetic lines
Ah, the Nobel Prize—an honor reserved for the most brilliant minds on Earth.
AI has officially hit the big leagues.

Geoffrey Hinton, the ‘godfather’ of AI, just won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Naturally, Hinton now joins that exclusive club, not for curing diseases or exploring space, but for helping machines decide which meme to show you next on Instagram.
We are truly living in the future!
But the drama doesn’t end there.
As Hinton is basking in his newfound Nobel glory, one of his prized students, Ilya Sutskever, has gone full “Godfather Part II” on his old mentor’s legacy.
In a plot twist worthy of an HBO miniseries, Ilya—former co-founder of OpenAI—fired his own CEO, Sam Altman in November of 2023.
It’s moments like these that remind us: AI might be optimizing our Netflix queues, but it’s also reshaping the world—one fired CEO at a time.
So, as we dive into this issue of AI Humble Servant, let’s take a moment to reflect on how the machines are slowly taking over... or at least deciding which YouTube ad you’ll see next.

No Code Automation Dreamscape
If you have been following me on socials, you would know that I have been inactive.
Full transparency, I was burnt out on content creation.
I needed to generate more videos to hit my aspirations of turning ideas into content.

Well, I hit a wall.
I couldn't ideate quick enough. I could make all the videos in the world, but I couldn't find time to deliver valuable content to my audience.
So what did I do?
I applied the Theory of Constraints.
Where was my constraint?
Ideation
No matter where else I made an improvement, what would provide the biggest output?
It was finding ideas and stories for my audience. Make was the perfect blend of automations and integrations I needed to generate and approve 100's of ideas every week!
I got inspiration from another NoCode automator in the industry, Stephen G. Pope.
