The Award for Tradition in Crafts ✌ Henri Ford once said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Well, faster horses seem to be what the jury of Luxembourg's “Crafts Innovation Award” (PIA) was wishing for when they announced the winner of the “Marketing and Communication” category.Nominated were “Menuiserie Reckinger” with their “Turning School”, at the awards referred to as “Drechselschoul” or “Dréischoul”, and my company neon internet with our software LetzAI, a Generative Artificial Intelligence platform.“Turning,” for those of you who don’t know what that is, is a special kind of way to treat wood - a process that, according to archaeologists, has existed for more than 3500 years. Generative AI, on the other hand, is software capable of generating information that could have been made by a human, for example, an image, a text, music, etc. LetzAI is the first software capable of doing this for Luxembourgish subjects (and other things that users may upload), such as Luxembourg’s Golden Lady or the national hero “Superjhemp.” This has existed for 6 months.The winner was the “Turning School.”I find it very important and honorable that a carpenter is keeping this tradition alive, and I wish Menuiserie Reckinger only the best, but allow me a question: Why does such a Turning School win a national Marketing Innovation Award?I am not asking this question because I am disappointed that we didn’t win. I am asking because I can’t help but wonder if the jury knows what kind of signal they’re sending to young entrepreneurs with such a judgment?!The sponsors of this “Innovation Award,” or rather the selected jury, are members of Luxinnovation GIE, Digital Luxembourg, the Ministère de l'Économie - Luxembourg, Enovos Luxembourg, Banque Raiffeisen, Institut de la Propriété Intellectuelle Luxembourg GIE (IPIL), or LALUX Assurances.The main organizer besides the Société Nationale de Crédit et d'Investissem*nt is the Chambre des Métiers Luxembourg, where the winner Reckinger is also a member of the board. “Classic Luxembourgish,” one might say.We were asked in November last year to sign up for this award. If we had known that the jury in charge has trouble differentiating tradition and innovation, we could have spared ourselves the effort. And much more importantly, we’d still believe that there is potential in Luxembourg for disruptive, meaning innovative, startups. This will now prove difficult (again).Because of that, I want to hand the jury this award, the “PTA - Prix de la Tradition dans l’Artisanat” (Award for Tradition in Crafts). An award which, by the way, I didn’t carve, but which I generated. With LetzAI.Déi Lëtzebuergesch Versioun vu mengem éischte Lieserbréif ever fënnt een hei RTL Lëtzebuerg 👉 https://lnkd.in/esJw8hT3

This is all human nature. Plato prefered oral transmission over writing as he feared it would weaken our memory capacity. You have entered the exponential dimension of the “innovator’s dilemma”, where things appear silly at first as they initially move slow and little, until they reach their true momentum, become significant, big and growing fast.

    A lot of brands are still having difficulties grasping their biggest opportunity in generative AI: Being a prompt input. As a brand you want to be top of mind, when users enter a prompt inside a generative AI app.But if that app doesn't know about you or your products, it won't produce accurate information about you. LetzAI enables brands, artists, and other creators around the world to add themselves and keep control on how their brand is represented inside of our system. We summarized the 3 biggest opportunities briefly in this blog article 👇

    Happy to announce that we've just launched the LetzAI API, a big milestone in our roadmap.Through the API we'll bring LetzAI images to other platforms.You can now use our endpoints to generate images using every publicly available model on our platform. To give one example of how cool this is: you can now use LetzAI inside of ChatGPT simply by tagging our LetzAI CustomGPT with "@letzai" and then enter a prompt like "@mischstrotz as a knight". Then ChatGPT will directly generate an image of well, me, using my AI Model from LetzAI.Find all the details now on our Blog: https://lnkd.in/ecnZDiCZWe're also actively looking for feedback on this. If you have great ideas on what to build on top of it, DM me! 😌

    LetzAcce l e r a t eThanks to The Dots Luxembourg and Deloitte for letting me share my vision of LetzAI at "Hack me if you can". The speech wasn't recorded, but if I had to summarize it, it would be like this:We're not trying to build the next Photoshop.We're building the next Instagram.
