🔥Musk Recruits Team to Develop ChatGPT Rival

Elon Musk is reportedly taking the lead in forming a new artificial intelligence research lab to develop an alternative to OpenAI's well-known chatbot, ChatGPT.

Musk was one of the original founders of OpenAI in 2015 but resigned all his ties in 2018 to avoid future conflicts with Tesla's AI production.

Recently, Musk expressed dissatisfaction with the safeguards currently in place that prevent ChatGPT from producing potentially offensive content.

To drive this effort, Musk has been approaching artificial intelligence researchers, including machine learning expert Igor Babuschkin, who previously worked at Google's DeepMind.

The lab may get integrated into Twitter, but it's also possible they will ultimately make it a stand-alone project.

Fun fact: Elon has twins with former OpenAI director Shivon Zilis

🤖 OpenAI is Planning for AGI

OpenAI published an article titled "Planning for AGI and Beyond," expressing their thoughts on the potential impact of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) on humanity.

Here's the TL;DR:

• They acknowledge the exciting possibilities that AGI could bring and raise concerns about the risks.

• AI usage should be maximized with caution, and the public should be consulted on major decisions.

• To OpenAI, the transition to a world with superintelligence through AGI is the most significant project that humanity has ever undertaken.

Essentially, OpenAI recognizes that AGI has potential benefits and risks and aims to guide us in navigating its development with caution.

📱 Snapchat Joins the AI Frenzy

Snapchat is joining the AI chatbot frenzy with their new AI feature, 'My AI,' that runs on OpenAI's latest version of GPT.

You can talk to My AI as a chatbot, similar to how you talk to ChatGPT. Additional features include: 

• Recommendations for various things such as birthday gifts, weekend trips, recipes, and writing.

• Giving the chatbot a name

• Customizing the wallpaper of your 'chat'

The chatbot is available as an experimental feature for Snapchat+ subscribers only for now, but Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel has plans to release the feature to all 750 million users very soon.

The CEO also says this is just the beginning of the company's generative AI plans.
