The Dynamic Duo: “Chasing the Revision” and “Courage”

Over the last few weeks I’ve shared two Google Lyria-authored songs, with video, that address the importance of asking and acting.

Chasing the Revision.
Courage.

If you’re stuck in your identity, biometric, or technology marketing projects, and you need that push to act before the courage fails, I know a guy.

Uninspirational Slop Quote, the Preface

On Friday night I asked Google Gemini to author some AI slop quotes that incorporated these four elements (thanks Alex P.): embracing storms, building bridges, planting seeds, and becoming an eagle.

Gemini disappointed me, but that was my intent.

  • “Every storm is just nature’s way of washing away all the stuff you stupidly left outside.”
  • “Build a bridge and get over it, preferably before you realize you have zero civil engineering experience and it collapses.”
  • “If you can’t handle me at my violent electrical thunderstorm, you don’t deserve me at my lukewarm drizzle.”
  • “Plant seeds today so that forty years from now, you can complain about who is going to rake all these useless leaves.”
  • “Don’t just build a bridge—charge a exorbitant toll so everyone knows you’ve grown as a person.”
  • “Fly like an eagle, mainly so you can legally scavenge roadkill without anyone calling the health department.”
  • “Plant a seed of hope today, but keep in mind that birds will probably just eat it in twenty minutes.”
  • “Soar high like an eagle to look down on everyone else, but remember that high-altitude winds make it very easy to crash into a power line.”
  • “Embrace the storm by standing directly in the open field holding a massive metal rod of ambition.”
  • “Become an eagle: majestic, solitary, and technically a severe threat to local small livestock.”

But if I’m going to post slop motivational quotes in the Bredemarket blog, they should at least relate to my interests.

Frenetic work ahead.

Act Before the Courage Fails

When you ask Google Lyria to create a song, you obviously can’t describe the song completely. So Lyria fills in the gaps—“hallucinates,” if you will.

For example, I wanted to create a successor to the song I code-named “Roanoke.” The short biometric product marketing expert song I used in the post “Move Along Now.”

Google Gemini.

But I wanted two differences in the successor: the song had to be full-length (up to 3 minutes) rather than only 30 seconds, and the song had to be set in Britain rather than Virginia.

So I used this prompt:

“Create a song by a male British folk singer who urges product marketing leaders at identity and biometric firms (finger, face, iris, voice, DNA) to stop procrastinating on their analysis, marketing content, or proposals. Product marketers should ‘ask, then act.’ But when product marketers act, they shouldn’t go to the extreme of breaking things. Ask, then act.”

So Lyria created this anti-procrastination song.

“Ask the Root, Act the Grain.” Google Lyria. Public Domain.

And in the chorus, Lyria hallucinated this line.

“Ask the wind before the sails, act before the courage fails.”

And that phrase “act before the courage fails” was more powerful than everything else.

Google Gemini.

I’ve encountered many reluctant marketers, afraid to take that final step and “go live” with something.

Or worse still, afraid to take the first step to even communicate something.

I’m trying to stop being that fearful product marketer and instead follow the advice of the Ohio folk singers who urged us to “go forward, move ahead.”

It’s not too late.

Is your identity or biometric company ready to act before YOUR courage fails?

Move Along Now (Biometric Product Marketing Expert)

John E. Bredehoft, Biometric Product Marketing Expert.

I ONLY want my hungry people to view this latest Biometric Product Marketing Expert short.

  • If you don’t care about biometrics, MOVE ALONG NOW.
  • If your company only hires “fresh perspective” (code word for young) people, MOVE ALONG NOW.
  • If your company believes that any use of AI is evil, MOVE ALONG NOW.
  • If your company conversely believes in surrendering your brain to whatever the AI god says, MOVE ALONG NOW.

Good. Now that they’re all gone, let’s talk about how a Biometric Product Marketing Expert can help your company.

Sneak Peek (Correctly Spelled) at Biometric Modality Audio

I’m working on a non-Bredemarket video.

Remember the pictures I shared on Thursday? (Try not to remember that the blog post was originally entitled “Sneak Peak.”)

Well, here’s the audio.
