[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome to Basic Business AI, a podcast dedicated to simple AI strategies for business who don't want to get in it. Let me start over. Welcome to Basic Business AI, a podcast dedicated to simple AI strategies for businesses who don't want to get an advanced tech degree or higher. Some marketing, bro. I'm your host, Ana Gonzalez, and you can find me on social media at annabotprime. We bring on regular business owners like you and me to discuss practical strategies, ideas, and perspectives about AI without getting too far into the weeds of the tech. BBAI is sponsored by Anabots. Did you know companies that respond to customer inquiries in less than 1 minute have a 400% higher chance of closing the deal? Our AI powered assistants have an average response time of just 9 seconds, meaning you can close more sales without generating more leads. No tech skills are needed, and you can get started in less than five minutes. Go to Anabops AI to learn more one more time. That's Anabuts AI. Today's guest is Sergio Teran. Sergio is a 40 year old believer in Christ who is dedicating his life to what the Lord reveals he has to do. So. Sergio, welcome to basic business AI. [00:01:10] Speaker B: Thank you, Ana. It's a pleasure to be here. [00:01:12] Speaker A: Glad to have you. So, from your perspective, how is AI reshaping the future of your industry? [00:01:18] Speaker B: Well, the thing is, seed what I do. I've done a lot of administrative work, but as far as my hobbies and stuff like that, I've done a lot of music. I've done a lot of video productions. And actually, now that has transitioned into being my actual full time job, I do some, some video and audio production for some. I'm not gonna mention who, but anyways, it is totally. It is totally reshaping things when you really think about it. Like I said, I used to make music, and I've made music since I was about 13 years old. I started hearing certain groups that I really liked too. And I was thinking, oh, maybe I could do that. Then I went into. I got home Ec, right, of all things, I went into home EC and they had a little audio video production unit. And I seen a mixer for the first time. So I realized I could mix my voice with songs and other stuff. So I'd buy instrumentals and mix them with my voice, and I started rapping and doing all this stuff. Well, now, the way things are so advanced is you don't even have to do any of the work. You could just record your voice. So the computer, the AI, recognizes your voice and is able to duplicate it type it up and you, you don't even have to type it up. You can have a, I make up the lyrics for you and they won't. You can have a, I make the beats for you and the songs of, and it'll sing the whole song and make it all by itself with your voice if you really wanted to. [00:02:46] Speaker A: Oh, wow. I'm sorry. I sing so bad that you just gave me a great idea. [00:02:54] Speaker B: It'll auto tune it for you as well. [00:02:58] Speaker A: Wow. So tell me some, for instance, some practical applications for these platforms that you use. How do you use them? [00:03:07] Speaker B: Okay, for one thing, like, I'm working on a video series right now for the person I work for, and it's on the book of job. And before, it used to cost hundreds of dollars to get a graphic designer to create these different graphics and pictures. So you can put on your covers and all that and on your media, and now it doesn't even take that. You can have AI totally generate the pictures for you. And there are some sites that are free, you can try it once or twice, or worst case scenario, use up your account, just get another email and make more pictures. And then if you do have, if you are tech savvy, you can put them together or do a little collage with them and have totally unique, incredible artwork that basically five years ago, what would have cost you a lot of money or a lot, a lot of time to do. So it's kind of, um, we've reached the point where it's, it's, uh, it's moving so fast. And what used to take the weeks with video productions and stuff like that. It will create a whole video. It will create a commercial like that for something that you would have had to pay thousands of dollars for or take two weeks to go film. [00:04:26] Speaker A: Yes. And as you say, it would have taken a lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of energy, a lot of equipment to just make a quick two minute video. And now you can just do it in minutes. And I think that's pretty, pretty valuable. So tell us about who you serve and how people can reach out to you. [00:04:52] Speaker B: How I serve. Well, I serve. I serve almighty, mighty God. And that's what I'm doing. Doing this for now. A lot of people have reservations when it comes to AI, because there are some things, if you look into it, there is not all good when it comes to certain things, certain parts of AI, but I feel like we can use it and get the best out of it to make sure we can spread our word. There are some very good things with aihdenhe. There are some things to be wary of about, you know, like the singularity and stuff like that. And you know, what it does. But I think. I think if we keep our minds straight and we realize what our mission is and we realize what pieces of it we have to use, we can put it together and, you know, come out better. As for me, you can reach me at. My email is steranatdal.com. i'm currently working in Dinosaur Adventureland. I'm not sure if you guys have ever heard of it.
