ChatGPT Offers More Features for Free Users
We live in a world where much of the AI we use seems downright magical — and very often, absolutely free.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has upped-the-ante on that trend, rolling-out a spate of even more new features that can be used for a song.
For writers, that means free access to ‘custom-GPTs’ — or custom versions of ChatGPT designed for specific writing tasks like stylized auto-writing, editing and proofing, SEO-optimization and the like.
Writers will also be able to take advantage of new ChatGPT tools for data analytics and image manipulation.
And they’ll also have access to Memory, a powerful new feature that is especially handy for writers looking to train ChatGPT to closely mimic their personal writing style — or remember all of their personal preferences as users of ChatGPT.
In other news and analysis on AI writing:
*AI for the Camera Shy: Instantly Create an Avatar Spokesperson: AI video toolmaker Captions has released a new tool that enables video-makers to create instant avatars to serve as spokespeople in short clips.
Dubbed ‘AI Creator,’ the tool also offers users the ability to customize production elements of their videos, such as camera angles, lighting, clothing for the spokesperson and a background.
Observes Gaurav Misra, CEO, Captions: “Not everyone who wants to create content also wants to be on camera. “Since our mission has always been to empower anyone to effectively communicate their stories through video, launching AI Creator feels like the natural next step.
“Now, not only can users record and edit their talking videos with Captions. (They can now) generate a talking video entirely on Captions as well.”
*Need Workshops, Seminars, Polls and More?: Just Add Text and Stir: Mentimeter has released a new AI tool that auto-creates workshops, quizzes, seminars, polls and similar content from a text prompt.
The tool works by analyzing an input prompt and crafting a ‘purpose-built presentation — following Mentimeter’s knowledge base of best practices for facilitating meetings and classes.’
Observes Niklas Ingvar, co-founder, Mentimeter: “Our customers highlight that they often lack sufficient time to level-up traditional one-way presentations into sessions that encourage active participation.
“This new capability not only saves time, but also assists users to focus on delivering impactful content and engaging their audience effectively.”
*Extra! Extra!: AI Coming to 100+ More Newsrooms: Add another 100+ news publishers to the list of news outlets that are going all in on AI.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has announced that it’s working with WAN-IFRA — the World Association of News Publishers — to further promulgate AI in news.
Observes Tom Ruben, a media exec at OpenAI: “This program is designed to turbo-charge the capabilities of 128 newsrooms across Europe, Asia and Latin America.”
*Canva Looking to Eat Microsoft’s and Google’s Lunch: Consumers now have an alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
Dubbed Canva Enterprise, the productivity platform is shot-through with AI and designed to simplify work.
Observes Melanie Perkins, CEO, Canva: “In this next chapter, we’ll take the three fragmented ecosystems that organizations face—the design needs of each professional industry, the AI creation and editing tools and all the workflow products—bringing it all into one single platform.”
*James Bond, Meet AI: Spy Reports Now Shaken, Not Stirred — and Algorithmically Generated: Impressed by early gains in their use of AI to find patterns in spy-collected data, U.S. intelligence agencies are “scrambling to embrace the AI revolution,” according to writer Frank Bajak.
One example, according to Bajak: “Thousands of analysts across the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies now use a CIA-developed GenAI called Osiris.
“It runs on unclassified and publicly or commercially available data — what’s known as open-source. It writes annotated summaries and its chatbot function lets analysts go deeper with queries.”
*Flesh-Bags One, AI-Automated News Site, Zero: In a victory for mere humans, an AI news aggregator that apparently regurgitated stories from legitimate journalists — after quick, AI re-writes — has gone dormant.
The reason: Lack of oversight by human beings resulted in error-ridden content that in at least one case, severely damaged the reputation of a respected Irish talk-show host.
Observes lead writer Kashmir Hill: “Even though AI-generated stories are often poorly constructed, they can still outrank their source material on search engines and social platforms, which often use AI to help position content.
“The artificially elevated stories can then divert advertising spending — which is increasingly assigned by automated auctions without human oversight.”
*AI Inside: Google’s Chromebook Gets a Makeover: Fans of Chromebook and AI may cotton to a slew of AI features Google is integrating into the latest Chromebook.
Observes writer Nathan Ingraham: “Chromebook Plus models are getting a host of features that Google first teased last year as well as some new ones we haven’t heard about before.”
One of the handiest features for scribes is an AI-automated writer.
Observes Ingraham: “The ‘help me write’ feature Google soft-launched earlier this year is now available on all Chromebook Plus laptops.
“This should work across any text entry field you find on a Web site — whether that’s a Google product like Gmail or a site like Facebook.
“You can use it to get a prompt, or have it analyze what you’ve already written to make it more formal, or more funny.
“Basically it’s a generative text tool that you can use across the Web.”
*AI-Powered Legal Tools: Now All in One Place: Lawyers looking for the lowdown on the full spectrum of AI tools available to them now have a directory to call their own.
Offered by Artificial Lawyer and Theorem, the directory enables buyers to evaluate “a wide range of leading solutions, leverage an RFP Builder to help you match the best legal tech products with your projects, and you can take part in Theorem’s Legal Tech Stack Community to learn more about what tools the market is using.
“The goal is to improve the procurement process for finding the right legal tech tools for you.”
*AI Big Picture: Bringing New Meaning To, ‘A License to Print Money:’ AI Company Joins the $3 Trillion Club: You know you’re doing well as an AI company when you become one of only three businesses on the planet valued at $3 trillion.
AI chipmaker Nvidia did just that earlier this month — a company in the right place at the right time that arguably manufacturers the world’s most coveted and extremely powerful chips for AI applications.
For the record, Nvidia is the number two most valuable company on Earth — just behind Microsoft and a step ahead of Apple.
