I believe chatbots understand part of what they say. Let me explain

Finally, a rational exploration of what ChatGPT actually knows and what that means.

I used to think that today’s so-called “artificial intelligences” are actually pretty dumb. But I’ve recently changed my mind. In this video I want to explain why I think that they do understand some of what they do, if not very much. And since I was already freely speculating, I have added some thoughts about how the situation with AIs is going to develop.

Get Ready to Meet the ChatGPT Clones

ChatGPT might well be the most famous, and potentially valuable, algorithm of the moment, but the artificial intelligence techniques used by OpenAI to provide its smarts are neither unique nor secret. Competing projects and open-source clones may soon make ChatGPT-style bots available for anyone to copy and reuse.

Stability AI, a startup that has already developed and open-sourced advanced image-generation technology, is working on an open competitor to ChatGPT. “We are a few months from release,” says Emad Mostaque, Stability’s CEO. A number of competing startups, including Anthropic, Cohere, and AI21, are working on proprietary chatbots similar to OpenAI’s bot.

The impending flood of sophisticated chatbots will make the technology more abundant and visible to consumers, as well as more accessible to AI businesses, developers, and researchers. That could accelerate the rush to make money with AI tools that generate images, code, and text.

GPT-4 reveal: Microsoft won’t comment on launch rumors

Andreas Braun, CTO of Microsoft Germany, announced the introduction of GPT-4 for next week. The models will be multimodal.

At the “AI in Focus – Digital Kickoff” event, Microsoft Germany presented business applications of large language models and talked about its cooperation with OpenAI and new Azure offerings resulting from it.

As Silke Hahn reports for Heise, Braun announced a GPT-4 reveal next week: “Next week we will present GPT-4, there we have multimodal models that offer completely different possibilities – for example videos,” Braun said.

Microsoft Says OpenAI’s Latest Blockbuster AI Is Dropping “Next Week”

Update, March 10: A spokesperson for OpenAI has confirmed in a statement to Futurism that “OpenAI has not announced any timing for GPT-4.”

A German Microsoft executive has, for some reason, claimed that OpenAI’s next large language model (LLM) will drop imminently.

“We will introduce GPT-4 next week, there we will have multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities — for example, videos,” claimed Microsoft Germany CTO Andreas Braun during a digital kickoff event yesterday, per German tech news site Heise Online.

24/7 AI Seinfeld show is back on Twitch

Really bad now. BUT, the future of entertainment industry:

Transphobic comments lead to Larry Feinberg’s downfall on Twitch. According to the host, the reason for Feinberg’s bias is an outdated OpenAI language model without a functioning moderation system.

Since mid-December 2022, the small media group Mismatch Media has been running one of the most unusual shows on Twitch (and that’s saying something): Using AI tools like DALL-E, GPT-3, Stable Diffusion, and more, Mismatch Media broadcasts an AI-generated show inspired by the popular U.S. sitcom “Seinfeld” every day, around the clock. “Nothing, Forever” is the name the team has given to their art project.

The AI-generated content is stitched together in the Unity engine to create an audiovisual pixel show reminiscent of early ’90s video games. The jokes rarely have punchlines, the conversations are empty and incoherent, and the audience’s fake applause starts in the wrong places.

Is Neuralink the Next Step in Human Evolution? (Or its Downfall…)

Thank you for watching my video about Elon Musks Neuralink! If you liked it, please consider subscribing! Have a great day. #neuralink #elonmusk.

Neuralink is a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk in 2016 with the goal of.
merging the human brain with artificial intelligence. The company aims to develop a.
brain-machine interface that will enable humans to communicate with computers and other.
devices directly through their thoughts. Neuralink’s ultimate vision is to create a symbiotic.
relationship between humans and AI, where the brain and the computer work together to.
enhance human capabilities. While there is a huge potential in this field, it could also turn out.
to be extremely dangerous. Here’s why.
