The Tea ☕
☕ FREE AI Content Marketing Masterclass on Monday
On Monday, December 29, at 2 PM EST, I’m showing you how to fix that inside a free AI Content Marketing Masterclass.
Here’s what most people do:
– Open ChatGPT
– Ask it to “write a post”
– Accept whatever comes back
– Post it
– Wonder why it doesn’t convert
The problem: you’re treating AI like a content vending machine instead of a tool that needs direction and context.
You’ll see:
– An overview of my content system framework
– The prompts and tools I actually use from content strategy to creation
– Live demos of your favorite AI tools
– How I make sure everything stays on-brand and sounds like me
Free to join. Special bonuses for live attendees. Replay available for 48 hours for registrants only.

☕ Meta Plans 2026 Launch of "Mango" and "Avocado" AI Models to Close Gap with Competitors
Source: TechCrunch (Dec 19, 2025)
Meta is working on two new AI models under its superintelligence lab: an image and video model called "Mango" and a text-based model dubbed "Avocado." Both are slated for release in the first half of 2026.
The text model aims to excel at coding while exploring world models that can understand visual information and reason without exhaustive training. This development comes as Meta attempts to catch up with rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google after experiencing significant AI division restructuring, leadership changes, and researcher departures this year, including chief AI scientist Yann LeCun leaving to start his own venture.
The pressure is on for these new models to deliver results, especially since Meta still lacks a standout AI product.
☕ ChatGPT Launches "Your Year with ChatGPT" — But There's a Privacy Catch
Source: OpenAI (Dec 22, 2025)
OpenAI rolled out its Spotify Wrapped-style recap showing how you used ChatGPT in 2025.
Available now to Free, Plus, and Pro users in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, you'll get a custom poem, usage stats, pixel art, and an "archetype" award like "Creative Debugger."
Here's the catch: The feature requires chat history and saved memories — both on by default. If you have "Improve the model for everyone" enabled (also default), OpenAI may use your data to train their models. Team and Enterprise accounts are exempt.
To see yours, check your ChatGPT home screen or ask "Show me my year with ChatGPT."
The timing? OpenAI launched this as Gemini's traffic grew 388% compared to ChatGPT's 52%...classic engagement bait during a competitive crunch.
