More controversy over AI this week.

Twitter warriors and YouTubers clash. No firm consensus.

At least there’s content for you. Read on.

🤓 DaVinci Resolve’s free content creator adds AI features

Source: Blackmagic Design

Is AI enough to catapult a product?

We'll find out.

The best free solution for video content creation got some major AI upgrades.

DaVinci Resolve is a killer app that’s the best alternative to Adobe Premiere. Yes, that Adobe, who added AI features to their Creative Cloud suite last month.

Here’s what DaVinci fired back with.

  • Voice isolation - cut out the noise from voice tracks

  • Noise classification - identify a water drop from an explosion, and label them both

  • Auto-transcription - generate subtitles and searchable transcriptions

  • Virtual light tool - add artificial lighting sources

Will this be enough to catapult them into the realm of Adobe?

We’ll have to see.

👀 So…Musk was serious about TruthGPT

So, I guess he WASN’T kidding.

Elon Musk wants TruthGPT, a “maximum truth-seeking AI”. As he said in an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson:

“I’m going to start something which I call TruthGPT or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe,” Musk said. “And I think this might be the best path to safety in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe.”

But these are words. Where are the actions?

Is Musk’s X.AI the parent company for this mission? How would a maximum-truth seeking AI work? Will any of this actually happen?

We’re not sure. Words are cheap.

Let’s see some launches.

😬 Chegg adds ChatGPT in desperate move

Yikes.

The company most at-risk from the rise of ChatGPT is…adding GPT to its product.

Chegg, the online studying platform, announced Monday that they’ve added ChatGPT. It’ll help you study, learn from your wrong answers, and prepare practice tests for you.

It’s also free, for now. Probably because ChatGPT's progress is scaring Chegg, bad.

ChatGPT poses a large existential threat to Chegg and companies like it. Even though Chegg focuses on math and the sciences, ChatGPT is capable of answering those types of questions.

And ChatGPT can do more, like write essays or answer complex prompts.

As you see above, Wall Street agrees. They’re not fans of Chegg’s prospects.

Chegg and the teachers finally have a common goal: outmaaneuver ChatGPT. The enemy of my enemy, I suppose?
