🏋️ Introducing ChatGPT Plus

OpenAI is launching a pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT, a conversational AI that can chat with you, answer follow-up questions, and challenge incorrect assumptions.

The new subscription plan, ChatGPT Plus, will be available for $20/month, and subscribers will receive a number of benefits:

• General access to ChatGPT, even during peak times

• Faster response times

• Priority access to new features and improvements

🌟 Google presents its ChatGPT

Google has introduced a new AI language model called "Bard". It is designed to help provide relevant information for search queries and improve the overall search experience. Bard uses a combination of traditional NLP techniques and machine learning to understand the context and intention behind a search query.

The model has been trained on a large corpus of text to better understand language patterns and relationships between words. Google aims to use Bard to enhance its search capabilities and provide users with more accurate and relevant results.

🦜 How Duolingo’s AI Learns What You Need to Learn

Duolingo is a language learning platform that offers free lessons in over 30 languages. The platform uses gamification techniques, such as points and rewards, to keep users motivated and engaged.

Duolingo uses machine learning and other cutting-edge technologies to mimic qualities of a good tutor. Duolingo uses AI to keep its learners squarely in the zone where they remain engaged but are still learning at the edge of their abilities.

💰 An Image Generator That Pays Artists

Shutterstock, which launched a text-to-image generator to supplement its business in licensing images, committed to sharing revenue with contributors who permit the company to use their artwork and photographs to train its model.

The image generator is based on OpenAI’s DALL·E 2 and built in collaboration with LG AI Research.

🚙 AI Cheat in Rocket League

Players of Rocket League, a video game that ranks among the world’s most popular esports, are getting trounced by cheaters who use AI models originally developed to train contestants, PC Gamer reported.

🎹 Unleashing ML Innovation at Spotify with Ray

Ray, an open-source framework for distributed computing, is highly used by Spotify. The company chose Ray due to its ability to scale and handle their growing demands for computation resources.

Spotify highlights the benefits of using Ray such as improved performance and the ability to experiment with ML models quickly.

The integration of Ray will allow Spotify to continue pushing the boundaries of ML innovation and drive new levels of efficiency and effectiveness in their data-driven decision making.
