ChatGPT has secret codes — these are the four you need to use
However, the latest trick to go viral is a set of secret phrases that, only using a few letters at a time, can get ChatGPT to perform specific and useful tasks.
In a post on the popular Reddit forum ChatGPTPromptGenius, user Stuckingood lists four of these phrases that they use to get ChatGPT to perform in certain ways. We've broken those options down below.
Prompt: ELI5
A popular prompt technique, and one of my favorites to use. When using ChatGPT, simply type ELI5 and then a topic that you want to learn about. This will trigger ChatGPT to give you an easy-to-understand breakdown of the subject.
For example, "ELI5" black holes will give you an explanation of this topic that even a child will understand. Sometimes this can feel a bit over the top, like you're being talked down to, but it is also a great way to get started on a new topic.
You can also insert any age here. Doing "ELI10" will give a bit more explanation and context to a topic.

Prompt: TLDR
Let's be honest, sometimes the last thing we want to do is read through a really long document. Whether it's a terms and conditions, a research paper or a news article, this is a way to get an explanation quickly.
Give ChatGPT a document or copy and paste some writing and type the prompt "TL:DR" (Too long, didn't read). This will give you a summary of the topic, saving you from having to do the reading yourself.
It is always important with a prompt like this to double-check any key details. While ChatGPT has come a long way, it can still make mistakes, and you don't want these getting caught up in any final content you make from what you've learned.
Prompt: Jargonize
Normally, we're trying to make our writing as simple to understand as possible. But every so often, you're trying to add some complexity to your writing. This is great for LinkedIn posts, corporate emails or somewhere you want to give an air of confidence.
Type 'Jargonize:' before your text on ChatGPT and it will throw in some industry terms and give it the confidence of someone who knows a subject inside and out.
Prompt: Humanize
The opposite end of the spectrum to the jargonized prompt above, putting "Humanize:" before a prompt will force ChatGPT to try and bring some human energy and character into its writing.
This makes it both more natural and gives more conversational replies, making it feel more like you are talking to a real person, not just ChatGPT.
You can also throw in some extra points here. For example, saying 'Humanize but keep it professional' can give ChatGPT a bit more character, but still produce writing that works in corporate situations.

This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. If you're looking to maximize your B2B marketing success, you need to establish trust with your target buyers, and showcase brand credibility with your content. So how do you do that? This is the focus of LinkedIn's latest B2B Marketing Benchmark report, which incorporates responses from 1,500 B2B marketing leaders to dig deeper into the key formats and approaches that are working for them right now. You can download the full 28-page report here, but in this post, we'll take a look at some of the key notes. First off, as noted, the data shows that 94% of marketers agree that building trust is key to B2B success. So what's the most effective way to build trust? LinkedIn says that video content is the leading format for enhancing trust and connection. As you can see, short-form video, specifically, has become a key trust-building element, while brand storytelling and testimonials also play an important role. Which is reflected in LinkedIn's usage data, where video consumption has increased 36% year-over-year, with short-form video creation growing at twice the rate of other post formats. Video posts are also now shared 20x more than any other content type in the app. So it makes sense that LinkedIn's seeing more interest in short-form video, and why B2B marketers are then generating better results with the format. Whether that's through pure popularity or algorithmic amplification, I don't know, but either way, on LinkedIn, short-form video should be part of your content mix. Creator partnerships can also help to enhance brand trust, and LinkedIn provides an overview of the top considerations for such: The report explores all of these elements in detail, with a heap of engagement data and usage stats to support the findings of the report. LinkedIn also provides a summary of the key notes, and how to action these tips in your strategy: These are some good notes, which definitely relate to broader LinkedIn content trends, and align with the platform's increasing focus on video content. Which is why, again, you should be looking to utilize video on LinkedIn if you want to boost your in-app presence. You can download LinkedIn's full B2B Marketing Benchmark Report here.

OpenAI faces an ‘increasingly fragile moat,' JPMorgan says, as Sam Altman braces for ‘OS war' against Google, Apple and other Silicon Valley titans
OpenAI is the world's third-most-valuable private company—valued at $300 billion in its latest fundraise in March 2025, and it's 'marching to the beat of its own disruption drum,' according to JPMorgan. At the same time, the bank warns, the risks to the company's business model are 'broadening.' The investment bank took the rare step of initiating coverage on the artificial intelligence (AI) powerhouse, whose ChatGPT products have transformed digital interactions, even though it's not a publicly listed company. Bloomberg reported that the coverage will start with sectors such as AI and software, where private firms such as OpenAI play major and dynamic roles, citing a person familiar with the matter. That is in and of itself interesting, and speaks to the massive role that private credit has come to play in tech and finance, as JPMorgan's own CEO Jamie Dimon often discusses. But this particular note also reached several dramatic, sometimes contradictory conclusions. What JPMorgan calls its 'early advantage, unrivaled brand, and consumer focus' could help it unlock a total addressable market of $700 billion or more by 2030, according to the research note, authored by the analysts Brenda Duverce and Lula Sheena. The note mainly looks at OpenAI's challenges in the marketplace and its future value as an investing prospect, as a research note should, but it makes for fascinating reading in light of OpenAI's internal strategy memo for 2025-26, which came to light as a court document that is part of an ongoing Google antitrust case. In the memo, OpenAI execs write that they want ChatGPT to be 'your interface to the internet.' JPMorgan puts it similarly, writing that OpenAI's management has a vision of 'transforming the way humans interact with machines.' OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the billionaire who decided to turn ChatGPT loose onto the world, has reportedly said this could be worth $1 trillion in market capitalization when OpenAI eventually goes public after some sort of blockbuster initial public offering. This renders the JPMorgan research interesting in how it spotlights the challenges in the way of ChatGPT truly becoming the internet's interface. JPMorgan finds OpenAI's 'frontier model innovation' transforming into an 'increasingly fragile moat.' Duverce and Sheena write about the context facing the AI giant, of a 'window of risks' growing in size and scope. They forecast 'rising talent and litigation risks, as well as strategic uncertainty related to OpenAI's unconventional organizational structure.' In short, the vision is clear to see, but the reality of the situation just outside OpenAI's window is rather more opaque. From quiet lab to global powerhouse Founded in 2015, OpenAI's mission is ambitious: to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—AI systems as smart as humans across the vast majority of cognitive tasks people perform—come to benefit all of humanity. That ethos propelled OpenAI into the spotlight with the revolutionary launch if its consumer-facing ChatGPT chatbot in late 2022, with several follow-on technical breakthroughs combining with enthusiastic backing from Microsoft and A-list Silicon Valley investment firms to create a massively powerful and influential private AI giant. Today, OpenAI has a staggering reach: an estimated 800 million to 1 billion weekly active users on ChatGPT as of April 2025, global availability in over 180 countries and 57 languages, and more than 3 million paying business customers as of June, as well as a robust developer ecosystem. Famously, ChatGPT's viral release on November 30, 2022, led to a reach of 100 million users in a record two months, the fastest-growing app in history until Meta's Threads launch in July 2023. OpenAI's funding reflects its outsized ambitions: over $63 billion raised since inception, including a record $40 billion tranche led by SoftBank in March 2025, vaulting its valuation to $300 billion—the third highest among private tech firms globally, just behind SpaceX and ByteDance. Competitive moats under threat OpenAI's early advantage was its viral consumer adoption and brand strength, but it is not heavily diversified, with roughly 75% of its revenue coming from consumer subscriptions. Moves are under way to remedy this, with the launch of AI agents that can perform tasks for a user across the internet. These include the software engineering-focused Codex and the multipurpose ChatGPT agent, perhaps signaling a move towards agents that can serve as 'autonomous digital workers' for enterprise customers. (OpenAi rival Anthropic, by contrast, derives most of its revenues from enterprise customers.) JPMorgan projects that agents could comprise a quarter of OpenAI's revenue within five years. OpenAI's strategy memo confirms that the company never wanted ChatGPT to settle into the by-now well-honed grooves of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector. Instead, OpenAI appears to regard this revenue 'almost as a constraint,' a step toward their much grander battle for control over user interaction itself. OpenAI's leadership writes of platform giants Apple, Google, and Microsoft as existential threats, since they could easily block ChatGPT or 'push their own AIs without giving users fair alternatives.' JPMorgan's analysis rhymes again, noting that OpenAI is eyeing digital advertising and hiring consultant-like 'forward deployed engineers,' whose job is to increase enterprise adoption. This lays the groundwork for a direct assault on the business models of the platforms. But the bank also says it's no sure thing that OpenAI will succeed in this regard. Simply put, JPMorgan writes, it's a crowded space, with 'leading model developers constantly jostling for pole position.' The different types of generative AI models released over the past 18 months have expanded at what JPMorgan considers an 'exceptional pace,' noting that Google's Gemini 2.5 model and China's DeepSeek R1 have matched—or surpassed—OpenAI on benchmarks for reasoning, coding, and cost-efficiency. Price wars have ensued: OpenAI slashed o3 model prices by 80% after Gemini's Pro model leapfrogged it in user rankings, illustrating how differentiation in core models is getting harder to preserve. Of course, the fact that OpenAI is in increasingly direct competition with some of the most valuable companies in the history of the world, let alone Silicon Valley, is a remarkable achievement, and OpenAI could be seen as encroaching on their moats, not the other way around. The enterprise sector is especially challenging. Large customers increasingly seek best-in-class, domain-specific models or 'AI portfolios' sourced from rival providers such as Anthropic, xAI, Google, and specialized startups. Security and data privacy requirements, as well as cost, drive enterprises to avoid single-provider lock-in. OpenAI's developer ecosystem—a major early strength—remains sticky due to tooling and documentation, yet developers are highly cost-sensitive and more willing to switch as alternatives proliferate. Infrastructure and partnership crossroads A defining challenge for OpenAI and its peers is building out the massive infrastructure needed to train and deploy advanced models. Its recently announced Stargate project, a $500 billion joint venture with partners including SoftBank and Oracle, aims to meet soaring demand for compute and power. Data center constraints, power shortages, and a global talent war threaten to slow progress. The Microsoft partnership—once a source of exclusive cloud access and capital—has become 'complicated,' JPMorgan said. Revenue- and profit-sharing terms are being renegotiated as OpenAI seeks more autonomy. High-profile failed acquisitions, such as the loss of code startup Windsurf to Google, suggest these same governance and partnership frictions remain unresolved, the bank added. OpenAI's transition from a capped-profit model to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) is still under way. With billions in new funds contingent on this restructuring, any delay could ripple through its expansion plans. Ongoing legal battles—especially over training data and copyright—could raise costs or limit access to essential resources if outcomes go against OpenAI's practices. JPMorgan's assessment again agrees with OpenAI's own internal strategy memo, which frames the competitive landscape as an 'OS war,' or battle over operating systems, rather than an arms race between chatbots. Today, tech's biggest players control core interfaces (Apple: iOS; Google: Android/Chrome; Microsoft: Windows), and the memo's underlying anxiety is clear: despite OpenAI's substantial mindshare, it lacks a hardware or operating system anchor, making it vulnerable to being boxed out by entrenched platform owners. Despite formidable risks, J.P. Morgan's research frames OpenAI as the best-capitalized and brand-recognized contender in the AI arena. With a projected $174 billion in revenue by 2030, success will hinge on its ability to monetize new products, cement customer trust, outpace rivals on technical and operational fronts, and navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. The race is on. OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment. For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft.

GOOGL Earnings: The Cheapest of the Magnificent 7
Alphabet (GOOGL) heads into its second-quarter earnings report on July 23 with something to prove. While the stock is flat year-to-date, lagging significantly behind Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META), it is in line with the performance of Amazon (AMZN) and much better than Tesla (TSLA) and Apple (AAPL). Despite the mixed performance, Alphabet may now be one of the most attractively priced stocks in the Magnificent 7. At just 20x forward earnings, GOOGL trades well below its 10-year median of 25.8x, offering an opportune valuation discount in a market saturated with AI-driven premiums. Yet many investors remain skeptical, with bears raising concerns about search cannibalization from AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. While this narrative dominates headlines, the data has yet to confirm any material erosion in Alphabet's search business, though it will be a key metric to watch in Wednesday's report. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Alphabet Earnings Breakdown According to the latest Zacks data, Alphabet is expected to post revenues of $79.25 billion for Q2 2025, reflecting an 11.06% increase over the year-ago quarter. EPS is forecast at $2.14, representing 13.2% year-over-year growth. Estimates have remained stable in recent weeks, suggesting analyst confidence heading into the report. GOOGL currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating, with current quarter earnings estimates rising by 1% in the last week, next quarter increasing by 1.85% and next years estimates dropping 1.3%. Over the past four quarters, Alphabet has consistently exceeded earnings expectations, including a 39.11% beat last quarter. For the upcoming report, the Zacks Earnings ESP suggests a potential beat of 0.87%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Google Search Remains a Core Engine Search remains the company's crown jewel and a point of investor anxiety. The rise of large language models (LLMs) has fueled speculation that traditional web search could be disrupted. So far, however, Google Search appears to be holding up well, even as competitors attempt to innovate around it. This quarter's commentary on ad spending trends and search monetization will be closely scrutinized. While investors are right to ask hard questions, they should also remember Alphabet's key advantage: data. Gemini, Alphabet's native AI model, is built on the vast ocean of the company's proprietary and real-time internet data. This gives it a competitive edge in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), an increasingly important aspect of commercial AI use. GOOGL Stock's Quiet Advantage, YouTube If search is Alphabet's cash cow, YouTube may be its silent growth engine. According to Nielsen data, YouTube has steadily increased its share of US TV viewing time and now surpasses players like Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount, and even Netflix. Its rise reflects a generational shift in media consumption habits, and with its integration of Shorts and AI-powered content tools, YouTube seriously dominates the video content space. YouTube's ad monetization trends will be another key figure to watch. After a brief slump during the digital ad slowdown in 2023, revenue trends have rebounded, and a strong print this quarter could push investor sentiment sharply higher. Image Source: Nielsen Google Cloud is a Growth Center for the Stock Once a drag on profitability, Google Cloud has become a meaningful contributor to Alphabet's bottom line. In Q1 2025, Google Cloud generated $12.3 billion in revenue, marking a 28% year-over-year increase. This impressive growth has been driven by a surge in enterprise demand for AI infrastructure, model hosting, and generative AI tools. Recent developments underscore this momentum. Notably, OpenAI despite its ties to Microsoft, struck a landmark cloud deal with Google, a move that highlights Alphabet's growing credibility and competitiveness in AI infrastructure services. Q1 also highlighted that Google Cloud continues to chip away at market leaders Amazon and Microsoft. The company expanded its global market share to 11%, up from 10% in Q4 2024. While Amazon Web Services (AWS) remains the dominant player, its share slipped to 30%, down one percentage point, highlighting how Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are steadily gaining traction. Google's momentum reflects growing enterprise demand for its AI-optimized infrastructure and broader adoption of its cloud services across industries. Alphabet Shares are Undervalued and Underestimated Despite flat YTD performance and bearish sentiment, Alphabet is not broken. At just 20x forward earnings, expected to grow earnings 15% annually over the next three to five years, and with major franchises like YouTube and Google Cloud gaining steam, the stock may be setting up for a strong second half. While risks remain, particularly around competitive threats in AI and potential search cannibalization, Alphabet's scale, balance sheet strength, and breadth of monetizable assets suggest the long-term case remains intact. With low expectations, compelling valuation, and solid earnings momentum, GOOGL might just be the most overlooked of the Magnificent 7 heading into Q2 earnings.
