New Guide Shows You How

ChatGPT-Maker OpenAI has rolled-out a new guide to help you get the most from its AI writer.

The collection of tips represents the combined knowledge of a year’s worth of experience working with ChatGPT from some fairly credible experts — the people who actually made the tool.

Old hands at using ChatGPT will most likely recognize at least some of the best practices.

But the new guide is so detailed, even ChatGPT experts will probably glean some great new take-aways on how to optimize use of the tool for writing and other tasks.

As for ChatGPT beginners and casual users: This well-written advisory is your ticket to ‘power-user’ status.

Writer Matthias Bastian offers a great summary of OpenAI’s new tips-and-tricks in this piece.

*In-Depth Guide: AI Fiction-Writer Sudowrite: A long-time favorite among fiction writers, AI writer Sudowrite gets an extremely in-depth look from reviewer Janine Heinrichs in this piece.

Heinrichs’ verdict: Sudowrite is not perfect, but it definitely generates excellent results that sound human.

Bottom-line: Heinrichs is so thorough in this guide to Sudowrite, her piece could actually be a meaty ebook.

Highly recommended if you’re looking to plumb-the-depths of what Sudowrite is all about.

*The Ultimate Penalty Box: Sports Illustrated CEO Fired After Publishing AI Fakes: Ross Levinsohn has been fired as CEO of Sports Illustrated after publishing AI-generated articles that featured links to fake, AI-generated authors sporting fake headshots and fake biographies.

Observes writer Josh Taylor: “Among fake profiles uncovered by Futurism was that of purported author ‘Sora Tanaka,’ which claims she is a product reviewer.

“The page said: ‘Sora has always been a fitness guru and loves to try different foods and drinks.

“‘Ms. Tanaka is thrilled to bring her fitness and nutritional expertise to the Product Reviews Team and promises to bring you nothing but the best of the best.’

“Tanaka is not a real person.”

*Déjà News: Popular Financial News Site Allegedly Copying Stories Using AI: Investing.com is allegedly using AI to copy news from other Web sites — and then publishing them as its own, according to writer Max Tani.

Observes Tani: The stories “bear an uncanny resemblance to stories published just hours earlier by other competitors.

“In each instance, Investing.com disclosed that its stories were written with the help of AI, with oversight from an editor.

“But unlike news aggregators –which link or credit other news sources — Investing.com did not note or credit anyone except its own AI.”

*Carnegie Mellon Researchers Pan Google’s New AI: Google’s new Gemini AI took another hit from reviewers — this time from Carnegie Mellon researchers.

They found that the Gemini Pro version — released earlier this month — is less powerful than a primary competitor, GPT-3.5 from OpenAI.

Observes writer Carl Franzen: “Yes, you read that correctly: Google’s brand new LLM — the one that has been in development for months at least — performs worse at most tasks than OpenAI’s older, less cutting-edge, free model.”

Both Gemini Pro and GPT-3.5 are AI software engines that power specific applications like AI chatbots.

*New Flight Plan: AI Writing Pioneer Rebrands as an ‘AI Copilot:’ In an interesting move, AI writing pioneer Jasper has rebranded its tech as an ‘AI copilot for marketing teams.’

The rebranding language is starting to show-up in press releases that Jasper is releasing, which detail Jasper’s new partnerships with marketing agencies.

Makes sense: With 100+ AI writers on the market, increasing numbers of AI writers are trying to find ways to distinguish themselves from the competition.

*Sweet Home, Algorithm: Real Estate Software Maker Adds AI Writer: In yet another example of the trend towards ‘AI Everywhere,’ real estate software maker Inside Real Estate now has its own AI writer.

The tool, dubbed ‘Smart Assistant,’ is designed to help users auto-write texts and emails and auto-generate scripts for telephone pitches.

Smart Assistant also comes with pre-defined prompts — or natural language commands — that enable you to operate the assistant more easily.

*Pefect Pitch: ChatGPT a Hit Among Musicians, Too: Turns-out ChatGPT is the top AI tool currently used by musicians, according to a new study.

Observes writer Oliver Payne: “Of 1,000 musicians surveyed, 30% said they use AI for songwriting and composition — while 21% use it for research and inspiration.”

Musicians like to use the tool to generate ideas for songs and compositions — as well as to solicit feedback on lyrics, according to Payne.

*Control-Alt-Delete: ChatGPT-Maker Creates Check on CEO’s Power: Still wobbly over a failed attempt to fire its CEO, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has released new rules that enable its board to overrule its CEO.

Specifically, OpenAI’s new board now has the power to stop the release of a major upgrade in the company’s AI software — even if the company’s CEO wants to bring it to market.

Last month, OpenAI was rocked by a power struggle with its CEO, Sam Altman, after the former board tried to fire Altman.

The reason: Many on the former board reportedly believed Altman was moving too fast on the release of new AI.

Altman was able to thwart the firing by rallying nearly all OpenAI employees behind him.

They threatened to quit OpenAI unless Altman was reinstated as CEO.

*AI Big Picture: I Saw Mommy Texting Santa Clause: It’s hard not to love a technology that allows kids to have a seemingly personal conversation with Santa.

The warm-and-cuddly gimmick — dubbed HiSanta.ai — comes from Fixie, a Seattle-based AI startup.

Bonus: You can also talk with ‘Rudolph-the-Rednosed-Reindeer,’ ‘Bad Santa’ and ‘The Grouch’ on HiSanta.ai.

Observes writer Kurt Schlosser: “Visitors to the site simply choose a character they want to speak with, click the call button and then have a conversation about holiday wish lists and just about anything else.

“Santa, for instance, is quick to reply — and he talks back with what sounds like a British accent.”
