How OpenAI's GPT-3 is Revolutionizing the World of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been evolving rapidly over the past decade. OpenAI's GPT-3 is one of the most talked-about AI tools today, and it has been revolutionizing the field of AI development. GPT-3 stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3, and it is a state-of-the-art AI model that has been designed to learn and generate human-like language. In this blog post, we will explore the breakthrough AI tools of OpenAI, the difference between ChatGPT, PlaygroundAI, Dall-e, and GPT-3, and the impact of these tools on communication, learning, and work. OpenAI has been at the forefront of developing AI tools that are transforming how we interact with technology.


For Chat-Based AI, We Are All Once Again Tech Companies' Guinea Pigs - WSJ

#artificialintelligence

The companies touting new chat-based artificial-intelligence systems are running a massive experiment--and we are the test subjects. In this experiment, Microsoft, OpenAI and others are rolling out on the internet an alien intelligence that no one really understands, which has been granted the ability to influence our assessment of what's true in the world.


ChatGPT's Growing Competition: 4 A.I. Startups On Big Tech's Radar

#artificialintelligence

The roaring success of ChatGPT has triggered a race among Big Tech companies to either come up with their own competing artificial intelligence products or buy a stake in promising startups that could become the next OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. In the past month, Microsoft, Google and China's Baidu have each presented their responses to ChatGPT. In the meantime, some of these companies have also invested or formed partnerships with lesser-known startups specializing in generative A.I., the technology behind text and image generators like ChatGPT and Dall-E, OpenAI's other viral product that can generate digital images based on text prompts. There is a natural attraction between A.I. startups and tech behemoths. Many startups rely on the cloud infrastructure of large tech companies to train their algorithms, while tech giants often see them as potential investment or acquisition targets to expand their business without having to do the early-stage research themselves.


ChatGPT and OpenAI: A Step Forward in Robot Control - Geek Metaverse

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft and OpenAI have partnered up to explore the possibility of using the ChatGPT language model to control robots and drones using natural language. By doing so, the companies aim to simplify interactions between people and machines, without the need for complex programming languages. The goal is to enable ChatGPT to control robots, making it easier for people to interact with them, and improve communication through the implementation of artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI. Microsoft has released a paper that outlines a new set of design principles that utilizes ChatGPT to give instructions to robots. The process involves defining a list of high-level tasks that the robot can perform, writing an instruction that ChatGPT translates into the robot's language, and then running a simulation in which the robot follows the instructions.


Coca-Cola Signs Deal With OpenAI's DALL-E and ChatGPT

#artificialintelligence

The Coca-Cola Company is getting deep into the artificial intelligence game thanks to a newly-inked deal that will see it partnering with OpenAI. The press release announcing the deal did not say how much the partnership between Coca-Cola, OpenAI, and the Bain consulting firm is worth, but given that the AI firm recently got a multi-billion-dollar contract with Microsoft, there's a good chance it's worth a pretty penny -- and it seems particularly significant because of Coke's storied history in advertising, a domain that the release seems to hint could be a target for the AI tech. In the statement, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincy said that the company is "excited to unleash the next generation of creativity offered by this rapidly emerging technology" using tech including DALL-E and ChatGPT. "We see opportunities to enhance our marketing through cutting-edge AI," Quincy said, "along with exploring ways to improve our business operations and capabilities." Coke is the first company to sign on to Bain and OpenAI's new partnership, and although there's no word yet on exactly what the deal will entail, the press release hints at marketing, sales, and human resources implementations, the latter two of which sound pretty dystopian, to be honest.


How Nvidia dominated AI -- and plans to keep it that way as generative AI explodes

#artificialintelligence

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. At next month's GTC, Nvidia's annual AI conference targeting over 3.5 million developers working on its platform, founder and CEO Jensen Huang will invite Ilya Sutskever, cofounder and chief scientist at OpenAI, onto the stage for a fireside chat. The conversation will certainly send a symbolic message that Nvidia has no intention of ceding its AI dominance -- which began when the hardware and software company helped power the deep learning "revolution" of a decade ago. And Nvidia shows few signs of losing its lead as generative AI explodes with tools like ChatGPT. Follow VentureBeat's ongoing generative AI coverage After all, Nvidia supplied the technology of the early pioneers.


On Deep Generative Models for Approximation and Estimation of Distributions on Manifolds

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Generative networks have experienced great empirical successes in distribution learning. Many existing experiments have demonstrated that generative networks can generate high-dimensional complex data from a low-dimensional easy-to-sample distribution. However, this phenomenon can not be justified by existing theories. The widely held manifold hypothesis speculates that real-world data sets, such as natural images and signals, exhibit low-dimensional geometric structures. In this paper, we take such low-dimensional data structures into consideration by assuming that data distributions are supported on a low-dimensional manifold. We prove statistical guarantees of generative networks under the Wasserstein-1 loss. We show that the Wasserstein-1 loss converges to zero at a fast rate depending on the intrinsic dimension instead of the ambient data dimension. Our theory leverages the low-dimensional geometric structures in data sets and justifies the practical power of generative networks. We require no smoothness assumptions on the data distribution which is desirable in practice.


The Real Agenda Behind All the Chatbots

Slate

This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. The chatbots did their job. They inspired awe, mockery, and even some fear. Most importantly, they drew attention. Front-page headlines, cover stories, and word of mouth caused millions to try them, leading businesses and developers to ask how they could put the technology to use.


The right's new culture-war target: 'Woke AI'

Washington Post - Technology News

OpenAI declined to provide comment, but confirmed that none of the employees being harassed work directly on ChatGPT. Concerns about "politically biased" outputs from ChatGPT were valid, OpenAI wrote in a blog post last week. However, the company added, controlling the behavior of type of AI system is more like training a dog than coding software. ChatGPT learns behaviors from its training data and is "not programmed explicitly" by OpenAI, the blog post said.


AI image generator Midjourney blocks porn by banning words about the human reproductive system

MIT Technology Review

Midjourney's founder, David Holz, says it's banning these words as a stopgap measure to prevent people from generating shocking or gory content while the company "improves things on the AI side." Holz says moderators watch how words are being used and what kinds of images are being generated, and adjust the bans periodically. The firm has a community guidelines page that lists the type of content it blocks in this way, including sexual imagery, gore, and even the emoji, which is often used as a symbol for the buttocks. AI models such as Midjourney, DALL-E 2, and Stable Diffusion are trained on billions of images that have been scraped from the internet. Research by a team at the University of Washington has found that such models learn biases that sexually objectify women, which are then reflected in the images they produce.
