As far as AI has come in the last few years there are still a few things that machines can't do as well as humans. However, all of that might soon change as OpenAI and Meta are both reported to be on the brink of releasing AIs capable of reasoning and planning. Leaders of both companies suggest that the latest versions of their AI models are coming soon and will be a lot more powerful. According to their reports, ChatGPT-5 and Llama-3 will not just generate text but start to do something that looks a lot more like thinking. Joelle Pineau, vice-president of AI research at Meta says: 'We are hard at work in figuring out how to get these models not just to talk, but actually to reason, to plan... to have memory.'

Stealing someone else's joke is one of the highest crimes in comedy. With new AI tools like ChatGPT, some comedians are now worried about getting ripped off. After comedian Sarah Silverman joined a lawsuit against OpenAI and Meta for allegedly using her content to train their bots without permission, one comic told Fox News ChatGPT does not pose a threat to him. "In terms of how ChatGPT affects comedy, yes, I think we're going to enter the golden age of in-print comedians, meaning people who can type things on the internet," said Jimmy Failla, comedian and host of "Fox Across America" on Fox News Radio and Fox Nation. "But where true performers and people with actual charisma and comedic wherewithal will always flourish is no one's going to show up to a comedy club and buy a two-drink minimum to stare at a laptop, typing out words, or even saying those words through some Bluetooth audio," he continued.

Silverman has filed the suits along with two authors, Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey, in which they claim the AI models developed by OpenAI and Meta used their work as part of their training data. Tools like ChatGPT, a highly popular chatbot, are based on large language models that are fed vast amounts of data taken from the internet in order to train them to give convincing responses to text prompts from users. The suits claim the authors' works were obtained from "shadow library" sites that have "long been of interest to the AI-training community". The OpenAI suit includes exhibits claiming that, when prompted, it summarised three books: Silverman's The Bedwetter, Ararat by Golden, and Kadrey's Sandman Slim. The Meta suit cites multiple works by Kadrey and Golden, alongside The Bedwetter, and flags a Meta paper that indicates LLaMA's training datasets included material taken from shadow libraries the suit describes as "flagrantly illegal".
