These settings will be tied to your account, so you can now use them in any Veras platform (just make sure you’ve installed version 1.9 or later!).

In the dropdown menu, you can also:

  • Save (update the selected preset with the current settings)*
  • Save AS (creates a new preset from the current settings)
  • Rename (renamed the selected preset)*
  • Revert Changes (resets the settings back to the selected preset)
  • Update Image (updates the thumbnail for the selected preset)*
  • Delete (deletes the selected preset)*

* Note: You cannot edit the EvolveLAB presets, only the ones that you have created.
* Note: Trial users can only save up to 10 presets *

Your presets will be visible in both the Preset Gallery in the Explore Tab, as well as in the searchable dropdown menu that appears when you click on the current Preset in the top right.

how AI prompt creation can be a lucrative side hustle: Mark Cuban's Million-Dollar Advice To Teens: 'If I Were 16 Again, I'd Start This Lucrative Side Hustle'

Thank you, and thanks for sharing the post. It’s really neat!

Here’s a AI generated summary of the post:

  • Mark Cuban suggests that teenagers can start a lucrative side hustle by venturing into artificial intelligence (AI) prompt engineering.
  • His three-step strategy:
    1. Master writing prompts for AI language models
    2. Teach peers to use these prompts for school assignments
    3. Offer services to small and medium-sized businesses that don’t understand AI yet
  • Cuban notes that he would teach these businesses as well, regardless of his age (16)
  • AI prompt engineering can be a profitable opportunity, with average salaries ranging from $30,000 to $129,500 per year.
  • Certifications and practice are essential for mastering the basics of large language models, but a college degree is not required.
  • Online certification programs can help individuals learn the basics within a month.

Our goal is to assist with the prompt engineering, where crafting prompts is a breeze by offering good starting points.
