GAIN 17 - A Lawyer's ChatGPT Debacle, Demos of Generative AI Search, Nvidia, OpenAI, Runway, TikTok, Spotify, and More

Top generative AI industry news from the week of June 1st

Jun 02, 2023

The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for June 1, 2023, is here. We have some special segments for you today with hosts Eric Schwartz from Voicebot.ai and Bret Kinsella (that’s me). These include:

An Nvidia video demo of a humanlike conversation with an in-game non-player character
Live demos of Bing search inside of ChatGPT and Google Bard’s similarity
A short video showing how the Google Search Generative Experience beta release works.

Eric and I also introduced a new segment, generative AI winners and losers of the week. I am sure you will find that to be a fun addition to the show.

Generative AI News

This week’s top stories include multiple NVIDIA announcements, OpenAI’s new AI reasoning capabilities, Runway’s big payday and Google’s investment, Spotify voice clones may be coming, TikTok tests a generative AI-powered assistant, how search is changing, and, of course, the lawyer’s ChatGPT debacle.

Please double-click on the video above and give us a like 👍. I’d appreciate the help with YouTube’s AI black box algorithms. 😀🎉🚀

Links related to the top stories are included below in case you’d like to explore the news in more detail. Let me know what you think about this week’s topics and commentary.

A Special Microsoft-only GAIN Episode

Also, in case you missed it, Synthedia published two GAIN episodes last week. There were so many significant announcements from the Microsoft Build developer conference that Eric and I recorded an impromptu GAIN live stream to supplement the regular show. We ran through the 5 top announcements from Satya Nadella and Kevin Scott, Microsoft’s CEO and CTO, respectively.

There is quite a bit of depth to cover in those announcements, mostly based on Microsoft’s use of OpenAI technology. Plus, Microsoft is so far out ahead of most other generative AI players that focusing on this information provides important context about how the industry is evolving.

GAIN is recorded live and streamed via YouTube and LinkedIn at 12:00 noon ET on Thursdays. You can re-watch each week’s discussion on Voicebot’s YouTube channel. Please join us live next week on YouTube or LinkedIn. Also, participate in the live show by commenting, and we are likely to give you a shoutout and may even show your comment on screen.
