🤖 Will Google Bard’s new feature finally make it useful? Or are we sticking with ChatGPT?

We’re so proud. Humane AI finally grew up and soft-launched their AI product.

After five years of pivots.

Don’t worry, there’s other news too.

🤖 Top Stories

🤓 Bard loses the training wheels, can now code

Google’s little baby generative AI assistant is growing up.

Bard can now work in the language of software engineers. 20 different languages of software engineers, to be precise.

Bard can now do the trifecta, Debug code, write code, and explain code.

It has a secret weapon too - automatic exports to Google’s free CoLab software. That’s their super slick data science software. They know what they’re doing.

But honestly. What would it take for you to use Bard over ChatGPT?

👀 Tom Brady sues over AI-generated likeness

You gonna sue us for this AI-generated image, Brady??

It’s all fun and games until an AI version of you is bombing in standup.

Tom Brady’s legal team sent a cease-and-desist letter to two comedians who used his likeness.

The comedians, Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen, made a one-hour comedy special called "It's Too Easy! A Simulated Hour-Long Comedy Special". A few minutes featured an AI-generated Brady doling out (bad) jokes.

The Brady team claim this “blatantly” violated his rights, and gave two options: take down the video, or we sue.

They took down the video.

But…

The comedians were quick to defend themselves.

"Again, I think this is First Amendment, freedom of speech-type s--t that we're dealing with here," Kultgen said. "This is obviously a parody... This is what all impressionists do. You watch hours of tape of that person to get their mannerisms and stuff like this down. It's literally the same."

Are we creeping into defamation territory? Lawyers are salivating at the billable hours of figuring THAT out.

🤯 Humane AI finally has a demo!

"Catch me up," a summary of crucial information you may have missed while you were busy, on @Humane's device.

Remember Humane AI? That crazy AI startup that was five years old, with tens of millions of dollars in funding, and no product?

Well, now they at least have a product.

A leaked Ted talk shows the CEO showing off what appears to be a wearable assistant on his chest.

“It’s a new kind of wearable device and platform that’s built entirely from the ground up for artificial intelligence,” Chaudhri says in comments transcribed by Inverse. “And it’s completely standalone. You don’t need a smartphone or any other device to pair with it.”

Think of it as your AI personal assistant, literally attached to you.

The demo showed some wild stuff.

It can dictate and summarize calls / emails without the need for a phone (not sure how that works tbh)
It can translate what you’re saying live
It uses the built-in camera to identify anything, and give you information about it.
It can also take phone calls. The demo featured a call from the CEO’s wife (also an executive at Humane).

Alright, we’ll say it.

Did they reinvent Google Glass?

You be the judge.

In the meantime, we’ll wait for the official announcement.

Do we agree?

AI is going to enable the creation and enforcement of laws 1000x as complex as we have today. This is mostly a good thing.
