Introduction
Ok lets go! This because this week in AI has been nothing short of a immense journey! From Snapchat introducing a ghostly watermark to Adobe sprucing up Photoshop with AI magic, there's a lot to cover. Not to mention, GPT-4 is showing off its chops in the medical field, and Meta is rolling out its shiny new AI assistant. Let's dive into these stories, shall we?
Snapchat Adds a Sparkly Ghost Watermark to AI-Generated Images
Snap is taking steps to ensure you know when an image has been AI-fiddled with. They're rolling out a cute, sparkly ghost watermark on all AI-generated images saved or exported from the app. The move aims to tackle the tricky problem of distinguishing real from AI-generated content. While the exact placement of this watermark is still under wraps, it's clear Snapchat wants to keep things transparent with its users.
GPT-4's Close Call with Expert Doctors in Eye Assessments
Hold onto your hats! OpenAI’s GPT-4 has nearly matched expert ophthalmologists in a series of medical assessments. In a study by the University of Cambridge, this AI powerhouse outperformed junior doctors and came scarily close to expert levels in diagnosing eye conditions. This highlights both the potential and the risks of using AI in healthcare—impressive, but with a pinch of caution needed due to its tendency to 'hallucinate' answers.
Meta Unveils an Updated AI Assistant with Llama 3
Meta's not just updating; they're upgrading. Their latest AI assistant, built on the robust Llama 3 model, promises to be the brightest free AI assistant available. From planning your dinner to managing your social calendar, this AI aims to be your go-to helper across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more. Yet, it's only available in English, which, let's face it, isn't ideal for global reach.
Adobe Elevates Photoshop with AI-Generated Images from Text Prompts
Adobe's turning the heat up on creativity with their latest Photoshop update. Now you can generate images from simple text prompts, thanks to their Firefly 3 AI model. This not only makes the creative process faster but also more intuitive, breaking down barriers for both newbies and pros. Plus, Adobe ensures that its AI tools are ethically aligned, with all generated images including digital 'nutrition labels.'
