#artificialintelligence

DALL-E 2 is an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by OpenAI that can generate high-quality images from textual descriptions. The model builds upon the success of the original DALL-E, which was first introduced in January 2021. DALL-E 2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, with the ability to generate images that are larger, more complex, and more realistic than before. In this article, we will explore the technology behind DALL-E 2, its potential applications, and its impact on the field of AI and computer vision. DALL-E 2 is a generative model based on the GPT-3 architecture, which is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI.


OpenAI CEO confirms ChatGPT is not trying to train GPT-5

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI CEO confirms ChatGPT not training GPT-5, addresses safety concerns raised by open letter from tech community, Italy establishes task force on ChatGPT. OpenAI, a leading AI research organisation, has developed the ChatGPT programme, which has become immensely popular for its ability to provide quick and comprehensive answers to a wide range of queries. However, its fast expansion has sparked worries regarding its potential effects on employment, privacy, and safety. Recently, an open letter signed by tech giants Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and others urged companies to pause the development of AI systems that are more powerful than GPT-4, which was released by OpenAI. The open letter signed by Elon Musk and other researchers called for a halt in the development of AI systems that are more powerful than GPT-4, citing concerns about potential impacts on safety, privacy, and employment.


Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4 - Microsoft Research

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have been developing and refining large language models (LLMs) that exhibit remarkable capabilities across a variety of domains and tasks, challenging our understanding of learning and cognition. The latest model developed by OpenAI, GPT-4, was trained using an unprecedented scale of compute and data. In this paper, we report on our investigation of an early version of GPT-4, when it was still in active development by OpenAI. We contend that (this early version of) GPT-4 is part of a new cohort of LLMs (along with ChatGPT and Google's PaLM for example) that exhibit more general intelligence than previous AI models. We discuss the rising capabilities and implications of these models.


Adobe Firefly's new AI tools aim to cut down drudge work for editors

Engadget

Less than a month after debuting its new suite of Firefly generative AI editing tools, Adobe announced Monday that it is already working on a host of upgrades to further empower its users through Creative Cloud video and audio applications. The additions should be coming to Firefly's beta program later this year. Built from the company's long-running AI program, Sensei, Firefly is a suite of generative AI models that can both create and transform audio, video, illustrations and 3D models using text prompts in the same way that Dall-E and ChatGPT do. Firefly's features are already available across Adobe's ecosystem including Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects and Photoshop, though they're currently only accessible through the closed beta program. The new features announced Monday are designed to help professional editors cut down on their drudge work, boosting color levels, inserting placeholder images, adding effects, autonomously recommending b-roll for a given project -- simply by typing their ideas into Firefly's AI text prompt and letting the algorithm do its thing.


ChatGPT's Thirsty Business: Using 1000ml of Water to Answer 100 Questions with AI - Upsprit

#artificialintelligence

Sustainability and generative AI are two topics that are currently taking the world by storm. While they may seem unrelated, there is a significant intersection between the two. A recent study called "Making AI Less Thirsty" reveals just how much water is consumed when training large AI models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Colorado Riverside and the University of Texas Arlington. It compares and measures the environmental impact of AI training that requires massive amounts of constant electricity and water. The water is used to cool data centers that are essential to keep them running.


Elon Musk creates AI company to rival OpenAI

Daily Mail - Science & tech

After describing ChatGPT's left-wing bias as'concerning', Elon Musk is now working on a new AI chatbot of his own. The Twitter, Telsa and SpaceX boss has registered a company with the name of'X.AI', a subsidiary under his new conglomerate X Holdings Corp. According to the Financial Times, the new subsidiary will be the home of efforts to build a tool just like the hugely successful ChatGPT, owned by OpenAI. Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers and is in discussions with some investors in SpaceX and Tesla about putting money into his new venture. Due to Musk's belief in free speech, the new bot product could have less of a left-wing bias than ChatGPT, which has already been criticised for'woke' responses. Twitter, Telsa and SpaceX boss Elon Musk (pictured) has registered an artificial intelligence (AI) company with the name of'X.AI' Mr Musk has been critical of AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT in the past.


OpenAI's CEO Says the Age of Giant AI Models Is Already Over

WIRED

The stunning capabilities of ChatGPT, the chatbot from startup OpenAI, has triggered a surge of new interest and investment in artificial intelligence. But late last week, OpenAI's CEO warned that the research strategy that birthed the bot is played out. It's unclear exactly where future advances will come from. OpenAI has delivered a series of impressive advances in AI that works with language in recent years by taking existing machine-learning algorithms and scaling them up to previously unimagined size. GPT-4, the latest of those projects, was likely trained using trillions of words of text and many thousands of powerful computer chips.


OpenAI is not currently training GPT-5

#artificialintelligence

Experts calling for a pause on AI development will be glad to hear that OpenAI isn't currently training GPT-5. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke remotely at an MIT event and was quizzed about AI by computer scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman. Altman confirmed that OpenAI is not currently developing a fifth version of its Generative Pre-trained Transformer model and is instead focusing on enhancing the capabilities of GPT-4, the latest version. Altman was asked about the open letter that urged developers to pause training AI models larger than GPT-4 for six months. While he supported the idea of ensuring AI models are safe and aligned with human values, he believed that the letter lacked technical nuance regarding where to pause.


Not training GPT-5: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reveals plans about next ChatGPT update - BusinessToday

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI's CEO and co-founder Sam Altman on Friday said that the company is not trying to train GPT-5 after AI language model GPT-4, which was released last month. In recent months, OpenAI has become a familiar name on the backs of latest technology like ChatGPT and GPT-4. ChatGPT is an AI program that has gained attention for its ability to generate quick and comprehensive answers to a wide range of queries. With over 100 million monthly active users, it is the fastest-growing consumer application in history. However, its rapid growth has raised concerns about its potential impact on safety, privacy, and employment.


Watch Chad Nelson's 'Critterz', "an animated short designed with AI"

#artificialintelligence

Using characters and scenes he generated with Dall-E, writer / director Chad Nelson and creative agency Native Foreign have made the animated short Critters, which recently debuted on YouTube. The five-minute film, which was partly financed by OpenAI and is a cross between something from Pixar and a David Attenborough-style documentary, we meet a cast of cute, furry creatures who live in an imaginary jungle. While the assets were generated using AI, Chad wrote the script himself. He used actors to record the voices and the film was made together with a team of animators. His son also worked on the film, as an Unreal Engine programmer.
