Introduction to AI Weekly
Good morning, AI enthusiasts, this week we’re looking at where AI is truly useful versus where it’s just hype. Notion makes for a strong case study in integrating AI, where it adds real value, not noise. On the research side, we cover new methods for detecting deepfakes, why single-vector embeddings are hitting mathematical limits, and what Copilot+ PCs mean for running powerful AI apps entirely offline.
What’s AI Weekly
This week, in What’s AI, we’re going to talk about how to spot the difference between AI that actually solves real problems and AI that’s just there for the sake of being trendy. Every company uses AI, but often, it feels more like hype than something that genuinely helps you get things done. So I will dive into how Notion is a perfect example of useful AI integrations into their new Notion AI, solving problems and not just hype for the sake of using AI.

Mgsneol has been working on Coders Connect, a WhatsApp bot built to help coders, developers, and builders connect more easily. It also opens up opportunities for people to work with the UAE Ministry of AI initiatives. You set up a quick profile, share what you’re looking for, and the bot brings back relevant matches you can reach out to directly.
AI Poll of the Week
Almost half of you said vibe coding “depends on the task,” which feels spot on. For exploratory coding, prototyping, or chasing an idea down rabbit holes, it’s a productivity booster. But when it comes to production-ready, test-heavy work? Many of you seem to pull back. What kinds of tasks do you feel vibe coding hurts efficiency rather than helps?
Collaboration Opportunities
The Learn AI Together Discord community is flooding with collaboration opportunities. If you are excited to dive into applied AI, want a study partner, or even want to find a partner for your passion project, join the collaboration channel!
