AdvertisementAdvertisementDid OpenAI just kill a bunch of startups by making a small update to ChatGPT? Specifically, he referred to "wrapper startups." AdvertisementAdvertisementIt isn't necessarily the case that founders who build AI wrapper businesses are doing this to exploit a weakness in ChatGPT. In May, data scientist Alex Reibman announced ChatOCR , a ChatGPT plugin that "reads text from PDFs, including scans and handwriting." Following the ChatGPT update at the weekend, he ran a poll on X that asked users what would happen to his plugin "now that ChatGPT has built in PDF processing."

New York CNN —Sam Altman thinks the technology underpinning his company’s most famous product could bring about the end of human civilization. As many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could eventually be automated in some way by generative AI, according to Goldman Sachs estimates. Challenges aheadWhen starting OpenAI, Altman told CNN in 2015 he wanted to steer the path of AI, rather than worrying about the potential harms and doing nothing. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addresses a speech during a meeting at Station F in Paris on May 26. Sam embodies that for AI right now.”The world is counting on Altman to act in the best interest of humanity with a technology by his own admission could be a weapon of mass destruction.

Microsoft's early investment in AI may already be paying off.

He writes that careers will depend on your ability to use soft skills and adapt. AdvertisementAdvertisementLess than a year ago, a degree in computer science seemed like the golden ticket to a successful career. However, after ChatGPT's public release in 2022, this may no longer be the case as generative AI (GenAI) democratizes coding to those who simply possess English proficiency. Simply put, hard skills can make you good at one job, while soft skills can make you good at many jobs. Those that build upon their soft skills to constantly adapt, reset and reinvent will thrive in the Age of AI.

☆ ChatGPT can now respond with images and search the web
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Hayden Field | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

OpenAI, the company behind the viral chatbot, has officially launched real-time internet browsing for ChatGPT, three weeks after reintroducing the beta version of the capability — but it has been a significantly bumpy ride. But one of OpenAI's goals has been to expand ChatGPT's data — and search engine capabilities — into the here and now. In March, the company experimented with a ChatGPT web-browsing plugin for a limited number of users. The company has been slowly rolling out the feature again, after allowing site owners to opt out of the web crawling. Two of the foremost competitors in that race are OpenAI with ChatGPT and Google with its competitor, Bard.

Privately held companies have been left to develop AI technology at breakneck speed, giving rise to systems like Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard. Last year, 58% of people responded to IE University's study saying they think that AI should be regulated. Standing out from the rest of Europe, Estonia is the only country where this view decreased — by 23% — from last year. Generally, though, the majority of people in Europe are favorable of governments regulating AI to stem the risk of job losses. It comes as governments around the world are working on regulation for AI algorithms.

☆ OpenAI's ChatGPT can actually make workers perform worse, a new study found

Workers using OpenAI's ChatGPT may actually perform more poorly than those who don't, new BCG research finds. AdvertisementAdvertisementIf you're using ChatGPT as a shortcut at work, you may want to be extra careful. For tasks "inside the frontier," consultants using AI were "significantly more productive" and "produced significantly higher quality results" than those who weren't using the chatbot. BCG's findings demonstrate a cautionary tale for workers thinking about using ChatGPT to help do their jobs. AI-generated errors may only get worse: In a recent paper, AI researchers found that generative AI models could soon be trained on AI-generated content — a phenomenon they call "model collapse."

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 25 (Reuters) - OpenAI's ChatGPT is getting a major update that will enable the viral chatbot to have voice conversations with users and interact using images, moving it closer to popular artificial intelligence (AI) assistants like Apple's (AAPL.O) Siri. The voice feature "opens doors to many creative and accessibility-focused applications", OpenAI said in a blog post on Monday. ChatGPT's new voice feature can also narrate bedtime stories, settle debates at the dinner table, and speak out loud text input from users. Alphabet's Google Lens is currently the popular choice to gain information on images. The new ChatGPT features will be released for subscribers of its Plus and Enterprise plans over the next two weeks.

OpenAI's ChatGPT can now "see, hear and speak" — or, at least, understand spoken words, respond with a synthetic voice and process images, the company announced Monday. Users will also be able to share images with ChatGPT and highlight areas of focus or analysis (think: "What kinds of clouds are these?"). The big feature push comes alongside ever-rising stakes of the AI arms race among chatbot leaders such as OpenAI, Microsoft , Google and Anthropic. Experts have raised concerns about AI-generated synthetic voices, which in this case could allow users a more natural experience but also enable more convincing deepfakes. OpenAI acknowledged those concerns in its Monday announcement, saying that synthetic voices were "created with voice actors we have directly worked with," rather than collected from strangers.

Over one-third of small-business owners in a survey said they'd tried ChatGPT for marketing content. The founder and CEO of Slade Copy House, a copywriting agency, believed the artificial-intelligence tool couldn't replace a human copywriter. In an Alignable survey of US small-business owners released in July, more than half of respondents said they had tried ChatGPT, and one-third said they had used it to create marketing content. Using ChatGPT successfully takes practice, and it doesn't work for every marketing task. ChatGPT can save small businesses time and marketing dollars, but it's not a magic bullet.
