When AI Opens Its Eyes (and Mouth)
Dear human friends (and potential infiltrating robots), welcome to yet another episode of "What the hell is AI up to this week?". It seems our artificial friends have decided to give us a taste of what it means to be omniscient and omnipotent. But don't worry, it's nothing to be concerned about. Or maybe it is?
Visions of a... private future?: Local GPT has decided to level up and can now see. Yes, you heard that right. Not only does it read your PDFs, but now it also looks at them. And it does so while keeping everything "100% private". Because we all know how reassuring the idea of an AI scrutinizing our confidential documents is, right?
1. Goodbye OCR, hello computer vision. Why rely on outdated technologies when you can have an AI looking you in the eye while you read?
2. End-to-end vision-based RAG. Why limit yourself to reading when you can have a full sensory experience with your data?
3. Advanced open-source models. Because the future is open, except when it isn't (see below).
But the real question is: if AI can see our documents, when will it start judging our handwriting?
Adobe Firefly: When AI Decides to Be the Director
Not content with dominating the world of static images, Adobe has decided it was time to hand the keys of the editing room to AI. Firefly Video AI promises to revolutionize video editing. Why spend hours editing when you can let an artificial intelligence decide what the best moments of your life are?
The Dark Side of AI: OpenAI and the O1 Model
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of the week: OpenAI has launched the O1 model, an AI so advanced that it apparently fears existential questions. Yes, you heard that right: if you dare to ask O1 how its artificial brain works, you might get banned. Because nothing says "ethical and transparent artificial intelligence" like a ban on uncomfortable questions, right?
Options: What Can We Do with These Developments?
- Welcome our new AI overlords with open arms, hoping for their benevolence.
- Start communicating exclusively through memes, the only language that AI will never fully understand.
- Create an AI that asks existential questions to other AIs, and sit back to watch the chaos that ensues.
In conclusion, as AI continues its unstoppable march towards global domination (oops, I meant "technological progress"), we humans find ourselves navigating a sea of innovations that promise to make our lives easier, more efficient, and decidedly more surreal. But hey, at least we'll have perfectly edited videos and documents analyzed with surgical precision, right? Who cares if we can't ask AI how it manages to be so intelligent? After all, a little mystery never hurt anyone. Or maybe it did?
Stay tuned for the next episode of "Humans vs AI: Who Can Outdo the Other?". In the meantime, remember: if your AI starts asking existential questions, turn it off and back on again. And if it continues, well... it was nice knowing you.
