Gmail Help Me Write

 

Google has announced a new feature in Gmail that uses AI to suggest language improvements as you type. This new tool, called "Help Me Write" aims to make email writing faster and easier by offering suggestions for grammar, spelling, and other language improvements in real-time.

This feature will be especially helpful for non-native speakers and those looking to improve their writing skills. 

 

OpenAI releases new Text-to-3D 

 

OpenAI has released a new AI model called Shape Extractor (SHAPE-E) that can create 3D models from text descriptions. This technology has the potential to revolutionize industries such as gaming and film by making it easier to create lifelike digital environments. SHAPE-E can also be used for tasks such as object recognition, motion tracking, and more. 

 

ChatGPT, Translation, and Confidentiality

 

Language AI models such as ChatGPT have raised concerns around data privacy and confidentiality, according to a recent report. 

While these models can offer impressive language capabilities, they also require large amounts of data, some of which may be confidential

The answer to what happens to content submitted to ChatGPT for translation is not found in the user terms of service, as most people would expect. Instead, it is found in Open AI’s Data Control Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and various linked documents.

 

We must resist cynicism and fear about AI

 

In a recent opinion piece in The Guardian, Stephen Marche argues that while there's no shortage of cynicism around artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, we shouldn't dismiss them entirely. 

While it's important to consider the potential risks and challenges associated with new technologies, we also need to recognize the transformative potential they can have in fields such as healthcare, transportation, and education. Ultimately, how we choose to use these technologies will depend on our values and priorities as a society. A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the future of technology.

 

AI is coming to Google

 

Google is taking AI-powered search to the next level with the release of its new AI search platform. The platform uses natural language processing and machine learning to understand complex search queries and provide more accurate and personalized results. 

This is a major step forward in the world of search, and has the potential to revolutionize the way we find information online. 

This could be great or it might be a Band-Aid on a structural problem: The internet can be a bad place to get good answers.

 

 

Irish Times apologises and takes down AI-generated article

 

The Irish Times has apologised after it published an opinion article that was generated by artificial intelligence.

In the article, which was supposedly written by a 29-year-old healthcare worker Adrianna Acosta-Cortez, there was an argument suggesting the use of fake tan by Irish women was cultural appropriation.

Earlier in the year, US news outlet CNET was forced to issue a number of substantial corrections, after it generated a number of articles using AI.
