    Google just showed how Big Tech will win again in AI

    Business Insider, 06/01/23, In the battle for innovation waves, either startups or incumbent technology companies emerge victorious. In the first internet wave, startups claimed 60-70% of the spoils, while incumbents only got the remainder. Recently, Google incorporated generative AI features into its widely used products, leaving competitors with an 80/20 split. Google’s breadth of wildly popular products is its key advantage, as startups only have amazing AI models. Even OpenAI, with one of the best AI models, needs big tech companies like Microsoft and Google to bring its technology to fruition in multiple useful ways. READ THE ARTICLE

    They Plugged GPT-4 Into Minecraft—and Unearthed New Potential for AI

    Wired, 06/01/23, “New research from Nvidia shows that the same technology behind ChatGPT can be used in video games like Minecraft. The Nvidia team created a Minecraft bot called Voyager that uses GPT-4 to solve problems inside the game. This technology has the potential to automate many workplace tasks, potentially one of the technology’s biggest impacts. Microsoft, which owns Minecraft, is also training AI programs to play it, and its latest operating system feature will use machine learning and APIs to automate certain tasks.” READ THE ARTICLE

    Ars Frontiers recap: What happens to developers when AI can code?

    Arstechnica, 06/01/23, At the recent Frontiers conference, a panel discussed the possibility of generative AI eventually creating consistently good code. The panelists found that while large language models have the potential to create code, even cursory examination proves that they often just make things up. Moreover, generative models are only as good as the code they’re trained on, which means there’s a high likelihood that AI-generated code will come with problems baked in. The panelists advise caution and stress the importance of human review at all levels of the development process. READ THE ARTICLE

    Go Ahead and Make Your AI Recipe. It Won’t Be Good.

    Eater, 06/01/23, The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the kitchen has been on the rise, with companies offering meal planning and recipe generating chatbots. However, the current state of AI-generated recipes is far from perfect. Despite improvements, chefs have reported issues with incorrect measurements and missing ingredients in AI-generated recipes. Furthermore, these tools do not address the fundamental issues in the kitchen, such as not knowing how to scan a recipe properly or having a lack of cooking knowledge. In addition, AI platforms may not provide up-to-date information, are biased towards Western flavors and diets, and strip recipes of their context. Addressing these problems is essential before AI can become a reliable source for meal planning and recipe generation. READ THE ARTICLE
