Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

Google dusts off the failed Google+ playbook to fight ChatGPT
New directive gives Googlers ‘months’ to build AI into existing products.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/google-dusts-off-the-failed-google-playbook-to-fight-chatgpt/
Years ago, circa 2011, Google was in a panic. Facebook was on the rise and Google was convinced the social network would soon swallow everything. To fight this blue scourge, then-Google CEO Larry Page issued a decree to his many employees: Your bonuses are now tied to Google’s success in social! Build social features into everything! That memo resulted in many ham-fisted social integrations across Google that were widely hated by the user base. YouTube comments were tied to Google+, and the site was flooded with spam. Making a new Gmail address also required making a Google+ account. Google Search got little “+1″ buttons, and generally anonymous usage of Google products was impossible due to the “real name” policy. And that’s just the Google+ stuff—earlier this memo resulted in a social network being built into Gmail called “Google Buzz” that all users were initially forced to join.

STABLE DIFFUSION CEO SUGGESTS AI IS PEERING INTO ALTERNATE REALITIES

“LLMS DON’T HALLUCINATE. THEY’RE JUST WINDOWS INTO ALTERNATE REALITIES IN THE LATENT SPACE.”
Worried about the plausible BS — also known as machine “hallucination” — that Large Language Models (LLMs) are known for spitting out? Not to fear. According to one high-profile AI entrepreneur, machine hallucination doesn’t exist… but alternate realities apparently do.
“LLMs don’t hallucinate,” Stability.ai CEO Emad Mostaque — whose buzzy AI firm is in the throes of a fundraising effort that might put his company’s valuation at about four billion beans — wrote in a Monday night tweet. “They’re just windows into alternate realities in the latent space.”

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/embodied-ai-googles-palm-e-allows-robot-control-with-natural-commands/
On Monday, a group of AI researchers from Google and the Technical University of Berlin unveiled PaLM-E, a multimodal embodied visual-language model (VLM) with 562 billion parameters that integrates vision and language for robotic control. They claim it is the largest VLM ever developed and that it can perform a variety of tasks without the need for retraining.
According to Google, when given a high-level command, such as “bring me the rice chips from the drawer,” PaLM-E can generate a plan of action for a mobile robot platform with an arm (developed by Google Robotics) and execute the actions by itself.

BUZZFEED COLUMNIST TELLS CEO TO “GET F*CKED” FOR MOVE TO AI CONTENT
https://futurism.com/the-byte/buzzfeed-columnist-ceo-ai
One of BuzzFeed’s most famous writers has some harsh words for CEO Jonah Peretti’s decision to integrate AI into the site’s content operations.
“I’m normally in the business of giving solicited advice but I’d like to take this opportunity to tell the CEO of BuzzFeed to get fucked,” tweeted Max Collins, a columnist for BuzzFeed News — the news arm of the site — who’s perhaps best known as the lead vocalist and frontman of 90s alt-rock phenoms Eve 6.
As Collins noted both in his own pithy tweet and to us, “BuzzFeed’s stock value soared” after Peretti announced yesterday that the company intended to use software from ChatGPT creator OpenAI to beef up its content mill, including those infamously cringe quizzes.
“This is so bleak,” the Eve 6 bassist told us, “and it’s only the beginning of a trend that is already having a devastating effect on all types of workers.”
After the publication of this story, a BuzzFeed spokesperson pointed to an interview Peretti conducted with CNN this week in which he envisioned a path for AI in digital media that’s “more personalized, more creative, more dynamic — where really talented people who work at our company are able to use AI together and entertain and personalize more than you could ever do without AI.”
Collins fears a much worse future, though.
“The dystopia is here and it’s not being brought about by the kind of abstract government tyranny technocrats like [Elon] Musk would have people believe it is, but by technology’s facilitation of corporate greed,” Collins told us. “And it’s not just the case of a few supremely villainous CEOs being shitty either — it’s our capitalist system that demands that it’s incentives be followed.”
The 90s rock star said that fellow Twitter superstar merritt k’s analysis of the BuzzFeed AI debacle was the “most accurate and troubling commentary” he’d seen:
Dude I’m so excited to live through a time when AI means nobody wants to pay for most jobs but we still think you need to work to be allowed to eat and have a place to live. It’s going to be just like Star Trek (the part before the show starts when everything fucking sucks).
They’re not wrong, folks — it does seem not only that BuzzFeed’s spectacular failure to read the room will result not only in yet another dangerous changing of norms in the already-imperiled digital media industry, but also that they’re being rewarded by investors for making such a disgustingly bold move.

Top 5 Ways Generative AI Could be Applied to Business
https://www.analyticsinsight.net/top-5-ways-generative-ai-could-be-applied-to-business/
The advancement in AI, is becoming a boon so much so that GenerativeAI could be applied to business
For Content Creation
One of the most crucial aspects of a company is marketing. After all, there is little chance that consumers will use your product if they are unaware of it or what you do. However, marketing is more than just advertising; it also involves messaging, positioning, brand storytelling, and, most importantly, establishing a connection with your prospective customers.
Product-led growth (PLG) is on the increase, but sales are still primarily a private matter. Salespeople, particularly in high-value sales, need to comprehend the customer and provide a customized answer.
For Customer Support
Customer assistance will undergo a revolution thanks to generative AI. Providing sufficient resources and staffing can be difficult for businesses, but providing excellent customer support is essential for fostering customer loyalty. Long resolution periods, poor service quality, and irate clients are possible outcomes of this.
For Natural Language Processing
The way we develop apps is changing as a result of generative AI. Developers can communicate using natural language rather than computer language, and AI can produce code just as readily as it can produce content or Shakespeare. Tools like Arcwise and GitHub Copilot assist developers in writing code in natural English. Copilot converts commands given in natural English into Javascript or Python code.
For Securing Data
Data security and privacy are essential for protecting personally identifiable information (PII) from misuse or unauthorized access. The growing collection of personal data by businesses makes it essential to protect that data. Companies must follow data privacy legislation like GDPR and CCPA to avoid fines and reputational damage.
Yet this issue can be fixed with intelligent generative AI applications. Both Mostly.ai and Tonic.ai generate synthetic data from actual data using generative AI, protecting user privacy while maintaining data realism for testing and refining machine learning models.

Duolingo is introducing a new “Max” subscription tier with features powered by OpenAI’s new GPT-4 technology, the company announced on Tuesday. Duolingo Max, which costs $29.99 per month or $167.99 per year, unlocks two new AI-powered features called “Roleplay” and “Explain My Answer.” The announcement comes the same day that OpenAI released its next-generation GPT-4 AI language model.
The Roleplay feature unlocks an AI chatbot that allows users to practice real-world conversation skills with characters in the app. Users will be chatting with an AI that is both responsive and interactive, thanks to GPT-4. The feature guides users through different scenarios. For instance, you can pretend to order coffee at a café in Paris or discuss future vacation plans with a certain character in the app. After users are done with the conversation, they will get AI-powered feedback on the accuracy and complexity of their responses, as well as tips for future conversations.

The Be My Eyes app for the visually impaired integrates GPT-4, which can inspect and describe images, through a Virtual Volunteer feature in closed beta
GPT-4’s new capabilities power a ‘virtual volunteer’ for the visually impaired
https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/14/gpt-4s-first-app-is-a-virtual-volunteer-for-the-visually-impaired/
OpenAI has introduced the world to its latest powerful AI model, GPT-4, and refreshingly the first thing they partnered up on with its new capabilities is helping people with visual impairments. Be My Eyes, which lets blind and low vision folks ask sighted people to describe what their phone sees, is getting a “virtual volunteer” that offers AI-powered help at any time.
We’ve written about Be My Eyes plenty of times since it was started in 2015, and of course the rise of computer vision and other tools has figured prominently in its story of helping the visually impaired more easily navigate everyday life. But the app itself can only do so much, and a core feature was always being able to get a helping hand from a volunteer, who could look through your phone’s camera view and give detailed descriptions or instructions.
The new version of the app is the first to integrate GPT-4’s multimodal capability, which is to say its ability to not just chat intelligibly, but to inspect and understand images it’s given:
Users can send images via the app to an AI-powered Virtual Volunteer, which will answer any question about that image and provide instantaneous visual assistance for a wide variety of tasks.
For example, if a user sends a picture of the inside of their refrigerator, the Virtual Volunteer will not only be able to correctly identify what’s in it, but also extrapolate and analyze what can be prepared with those ingredients. The tool can also then offer a number of recipes for those ingredients and send a step-by-step guide on how to make them.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/14/23639273/google-ai-features-docs-gmail-slides-sheets-workspace
Google will soon offer ways to generate text and images using machine learning in its Workspace products as part of a scramble to catch up with rivals in the new AI race.
Google has announced a suite of upcoming generative AI features for its various Workspace apps, including Google Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and Slides.
The features include new ways to generate, summarize, and brainstorm text with AI in Google Docs (similar to how many people use OpenAI’s ChatGPT), the option to generate full emails in Gmail based on users’ brief bullet points, and the ability to produce AI imagery, audio, and video to illustrate presentations in Slides (similar to features in both Microsoft Designer, powered by OpenAI’s DALL-E, and Canva, powered by Stable Diffusion).
The announcement shows Google’s eagerness to catch up to competitors in the new AI race. Ever since the arrival of ChatGPT last year and Microsoft’s launch of its chatbot-enabled Bing this February, the search giant has been scrambling to launch similar AI features. The company reportedly declared a “code red” in December, with senior management telling staff to add AI tools to all its user products, which are used by billions of people, in a matter of months.
But Google is definitely racing ahead of itself. Although the company has announced a raft of new features, only the first of these — AI writing tools in Docs and Gmail — will be made available to a group of US-based “trusted testers” this month.

GPT-4:ää on jo testattu monilla eri aloilla. Se osaa kuvailla kuvia hyvin tarkasti. Se osaa päätellä kuvan aineksista, mitä ruokia niistä voisi valmistaa. OpenAI:n mukaan GPT-4 yltää USA:n lakimieskokeessa parhaimpaan kymmenykseen.
GPT-3 käytti kaikkiaan 175 miljardia eri parametriä tuottaakseen vastauksia kysymyksiin. ChatGPT:n moottoriin verrattuna GPT-4 tuottaa 40 prosenttia tarkempia vastauksia. Toistaiseksi ilmainen chattibotti käyttää vielä vanhaa 3.5-versiota, Plus-version tilaamalla saa käyttöönsä ”uudet aivot”.

Leaked Messages Show How CNET’s Parent Company Really Sees AI-Generated Content
They’re happy to spoonfeed you unlabeled AI garbage — but they’re terrified Google will take notice.
https://futurism.com/leaked-messages-cnet-red-ventures-ai
When prominent tech news site CNET was caught last month using AI to quietly publish dozens of articles, it produced widespread alarm. News readers learned in real time that the explosive new capabilities of software like OpenAI’s GPT-3 meant they could no longer trust CNET’s journalism to be produced by a human. It didn’t help when we discovered that the AI-generated articles were riddled with errors and substantially plagiarized, with CNET eventually issuing corrections on more than half the bot’s published pieces.
Now, leaked internal messages reveal that the negative headlines also kicked off deep concern inside CNET’s parent company, Red Ventures.
But the consternation wasn’t about the ethics of providing readers with shoddy AI-generated misinformation. Instead, directors at the company expressed a profoundly cynical anxiety: that Google would notice the dismal quality of the AI’s work — and cut off the precious supply of search results that Red Ventures depends on for revenue.

According to Windows Central, Microsoft’s chatty, AI-powered search feature — you know, the one that tried to break up a New York Times writer’s marriage, named its enemies, and threatened users that provoked it, among a few other things — is now open for general use.
The feature was formerly available to just a limited number of users, who had previously joined a waitlist. And though Microsoft still prompts users to sign up for that waitlist, the barrier that was in place now appears to be moot; moments after a Microsoft user adds their name, they’re granted immediate access to the revamped Bing via email.

GPT-4 Cant Stop Helping Hackers Make Cybercriminal Tools https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2023/03/16/gpt-4-could-help-stupid-hackers-become-good-cybercriminals/
OpenAI released the latest version of its machine learning software, GPT-4, to great fanfare this week. One of the features the company highlighted about the new version was that it was supposed to have rules protecting it from cybercriminal use. Within a matter of days, though, researchers say they have tricked it into making malware and helping them craft phishing emails, just as they had done for the previous iteration of OpenAIs software, ChatGPT.
