A new Twitch livestream tries to answer the question: What if AI made never-ending Seinfeld? "Nothing, Forever" is an experiment using OpenAI's GPT-3 natural language model to produce (occasionally coherent) dialog between pixelated counterparts of Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer. Although it's closer to surreal performance art than the beloved 90s sitcom, it conjures images of a strange, dystopian future where we entertain ourselves with endless content generated by robots. "Nothing, Forever" immediately hits you with well-known aesthetics. Scene transitions show the exterior of a line of New York City brownstones over the sound of a quirky jazz bassline.

OpenAI has released a web-based tool that is designed to help educators and others figure out if a particular chunk of text was written by a human or a machine. The tool is imperfect and performance varies based on how similar the text being analyzed is to the types of writing OpenAI's tool was trained on. However, its creators warn, the free web-based tool makes lots of mistakes.

Artificial intelligence research startup OpenAI on Tuesday introduced a tool that's designed to figure out if text is human-generated or written by a computer. The release comes two months after OpenAI captured the public's attention when it introduced ChatGPT, a chatbot that generates text that might seem to have been written by a person in response to a person's prompt. Following the wave of attention, last week Microsoft announced a multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI and said it would incorporate the startup's AI models into its products for consumers and businesses. Schools were quick to limit ChatGPT's use over concerns the software could hurt learning. Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, said education has changed in the past after technology such as calculators has emerged, but he also said there could be ways for the company to help teachers spot text written by AI.

This week's highlighted event is from the Digital Media Licensing Association entitled'Generative AI Webinar: Separating Fact from Fiction' – a free to attend webinar that aims to explore the issues surrounding the new wave of generative AI trends and technologies. Do the new platforms such as DALL-E and Midjourney represent an existential threat, or do they offer greater opportunity by liberating art and creativity for everyone to access? Speakers include vAIsual CEO Michael Osterrieder and Thomas Smith from Gado Images. Tickets are free to DMLA members and $59.99 for non-members. "Whether this is the best of times or the worst, one thing is for certain, we face a looming legal quandary with the explosive entrance of artificial intelligence into our daily lives. Join DMLA and experts in this new field as they lay out the threats and opportunities they see in Generative AI." [Read More]

The craze surrounding OpenAI's ChatGPT has reached small-cap artificial intelligence stocks, as investors relay excitement over the potential future of the space. Under-the-radar firms BigBear.ai and SoundHound AI have both seen bullish runs in recent months. In January alone, BigBear saw an increase of 356%, while SoundHound climbed 56%. BigBear.ai is rooted in artificial intelligence, and the firm's breadth of products offer applications to industries including healthcare, government and manufacturing. SoundHound, meanwhile, focuses on conversational intelligence, which integrates AI interactions with users that is voice activated.

As the tech world embraces ChatGPT and other generative AI programs, the industry's longstanding pledges to deploy AI responsibly could quickly be swamped by beat-the-competition pressures. Why it matters: Once again, tech's leaders are playing a game of "build fast and ask questions later" with a new technology that's likely to spark profound changes in society. Catch up quick: While machine learning and related AI techniques hatched in labs over the last decade, scholars and critics sounded alarms about potential harms the technology could promote, including misinformation, bias, hate speech and harassment, loss of privacy and fraud. Yes, but: Smaller companies and startups have much less at risk, financially and reputationally. ChatGPT "is nothing revolutionary," and other companies have matched it, Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun said recently.

If you're looking for a way to make your home more energy-efficient, you should consider investing in solar panels. Solar panels have become increasingly popular over the past few years, and with good reason. Not only can they cut down on your energy bill, but they can also help reduce your carbon footprint and help the environment. Solar panels work by converting the sun's energy into electricity, which can then be used to power your appliances and lights. The panels can be installed on your roof or wherever else you choose, and they typically require minimal maintenance.

In what sounds like a solution, OpenAI themselves have released a tool designed to detect if the text has been written by artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, OpenAI elaborated on the tool that has been trained to figure out if the text is written by a human or generated by AI, including ChatGPT. "We recognize that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is recognizing the limits and impacts of AI-generated text classifiers in the classroom," the researchers wrote in a blog post. "We have developed a preliminary resource on the use of ChatGPT for educators, which outlines some of the uses and associated limitations and considerations." However, the research laboratory warns that the new classifier tool is not "fully reliable" yet.

OpenAI, a leading AI research lab, has created a powerful API that allows developers to tap into cutting-edge AI capabilities and make use of generative language models like GPT3.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT has launched a new AI classifier tool to determine if a text has been written by a person or by Artificial Intelligence. The tool comes with the caveat that it is not 100 percent reliable and can label human-written text as AI written, you can see more information below. We've trained a classifier to distinguish between text written by a human and text written by AIs from a variety of providers. While it is impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text, we believe good classifiers can inform mitigations for false claims that AI-generated text was written by a human: for example, running automated misinformation campaigns, using AI tools for academic dishonesty, and positioning an AI chatbot as a human. Our classifier is not fully reliable.
