AI Eye: ‘Biggest ever’ leap in AI, cool new tools, AIs are real DAOs By Cointelegraph

Your biweekly roundup of cool AI stuff and its impact on society and the future.

The past two months have seen a Cambrian explosion in the capabilities and potential of AI technology. OpenAIs upgraded chatbot GPT-4 was released in mid-March and aced all of its exams, although its apparently a pretty average sommelier.

Midjourney v5 dropped the next day and stunned everyone with its ability to generate detailed photorealistic images from text prompts, quickly followed by the astonishing text-to-video generation tool Runway Gen-2. AutoGPT was released at the end of March and extends GPT-4s capabilities, by creating a bunch of sub-agents to autonomously complete a constantly updating plan that it devises itself. Fake Drakes Heart on My Sleeve terrified the music industry at the beginning of April and led to Universal Music (AS:) enforcing a copyright claim and pulling the track from Spotify (NYSE:), YouTube, Apple (NASDAQ:) Music and SoundCloud.

We also saw the growing popularity of Neural Radiance Field, or NeRF, technology, where a neural network builds a 3D model of a subject and the environment using only a few pics or a video of a scene. In a Tweet thread summing up the latest advances, tech blogger Aakash Gupta called the past 45 days “the biggest ever in AI.”

And if that wasnt enough, the internet-connected ChatGPT is now available for a lucky few on the waitlist, transforming an already impressive tool into an essential one.

New AI tools are being released every day, and as we try and wrap our tiny human brains around the potential applications of this new technology, its fair to say that weve only scratched the surface.
