PLUS: Adobe's generative AI

All of today’s AI news happened in like a two hour period.

The industry is moving a million miles a second.

Except for Apple.

😬 Adobe wants to have its AI-generated cake and eat it too

Adobe is taking a different approach to generative AI.

They’ve announced new creator tools that use generative AI. For text to image generation. Surprise, surprise.

The tool pulls on Adobe’s vast stock photo library, as well as images from the public domain. It’s a beta feature in creative cloud products.

Join the club, right?

The difference here is Adobe is addressing the concerns of creators.

For one, Adobe is “exploring the possibility of opting out” of being part of the training data. How noncommittal.

That creator can also opt-in. Down the line, they might receive extra payments when a prompt uses their photo. Adobe doesn’t have any details on this.

This announcement SCREAMS “I know what you’re thinking, creators, but hear us out.”

Adobe wants in on AI, but makes its livelihood off artists creating using their tools. Artists who are not too happy with AI-generated imagery.

This will surely cause no controversy.

👀 OpenAI knows if AI will affect your job

Give it up for “Support activities for agriculture and forestry”. The job LEAST likely to gain or lose from AI.

Lumberjacks everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.

OpenAI released a paper detailing how jobs might improve or disappear thanks to AI’s gains. They define it as level of “exposure”.

We define exposure as a proxy for potential economic impact without distinguishing between labor-augmenting or labor-displacing effects.

Confused? Their scale is “will AI impact this job or not”. Without considering whether that impact is positive or negative.

Their list of “Occupations with no labeled exposed tasks” is a long list of manual labor roles. Stuff like cooks, athletes, roofers, cement pourers.

High exposure?

Mathematicians, accountants, blockchain engineers. Anything data-processing related especially.

Now, will this help or hurt your job?

That’s up to you, if we’re being honest.

Except for the lumberjacks.

🤯 Google releases ChatGPT competitor*

*Not yet, but you can join the waitlist now.

You'll move off it quick. To be honest, we're not sure why there's a waitlist. But the AI from the world's largest search engine is NOT search.

Google can’t stress that enough.

“You can use Bard to boost your productivity, accelerate your ideas and fuel your curiosity. You might ask Bard to give you tips to reach your goal of reading more books this year, explain quantum physics in simple terms or spark your creativity by outlining a blog post.”

It’s clear they want distance from any mistakes Bard makes.

They describe it as “an early experiment that lets you collaborate with generative AI”. And not, you know, a better way to search.

So, use it for creative expression, but don’t you dare try to get some facts out of it. If you do, they have a “Google it” button built in for every message.

Compared to ChatGPT, there are some significant guardrails. Let’s see if it’s anywhere close to as useful.
