Is artificial intelligence here to help me... or take my job? Shelly Palmer speaks with Vanessa Yurkevich on CNN about whether you should be worried, where artificial intelligence is already being used in the workforce, and lessons we can learn from I, Robot. Continue Reading →

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Plus for $20 per month, offering general access to ChatGPT (even during peak times), faster response times, and priority access to new features and improvements. Continue Reading →

OpenAI, the creators of popular generative AI platforms ChatGPT and DALL-E 2, says the tool it developed to detect content written by AI only works 26% of the time: "While it is impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text, we believe good classifiers can inform mitigations for false claims that AI-generated text was written by a human." I would not classify a classifier that fails three-quarters of the time as a "good classifier." Just sayin'. Continue Reading →

We know that OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) is working on a pricing plan, and some users are reporting that they’ve been granted access to a pro tier that costs $42 a month. Fans of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" know this number well.

This raises a question: Do you wait to learn to use the version of ChatGPT that's built into Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.), or will you start learning how to use native ChatGPT right now?

I understand why teachers are worried about students using ChatGPT, but let's not forget that students have always found ways to cheat, chatbots or not. I think it's more important to focus on how we can use these tools in a positive way in education. Continue Reading →

OpenAI has announced plans to begin charging for access to ChatGPT, a widely popular AI-powered chatbot capable of composing essays, emails, poems, and even computer code. In a statement on the company's official Discord server, OpenAI mentioned that they are considering monetizing ChatGPT as a means of securing the tool's long-term sustainability. Continue Reading →

This is absolutely the year of AI, and the announcements are just going to keep on coming. One of the biggest opportunities for value creation in the next few years will be companies that leverage the base layers provided by large language models and finely tune highly-specialized middle layers above them.
