Dall-E 3: OpenAI's sneak peek at the Multimodal future
OpenAI announced the third version of its generative AI visual art platform DALL-E. This text-to-image generator will be integrated into ChatGPT to produce detailed images from natural language prompts.
Details of what can be expected from Dall-E 3:
Better image quality and detail thanks to enhanced prompt understanding
Easy prompting - just tell ChatGPT what you want to see, and it will suggest prompts for Dall-E 3
Accurate text rendering in images - very useful for logos, ads, and more
Commercial usage rights - you can use Dall-E 3 images freely without needing permission
Dall-E 3 will roll out to Plus and Enterprise ChatGPT users in the coming weeks. OpenAI is also letting artists opt-out of having their work used to train Dall-E 3 and future AI models.
The multimodal AI future is almost here. Dall-E 3 provides a sneak peek at the creative possibilities ahead when brilliant bots can both understand and generate anything we can imagine.

AI RESEARCH
Google unveils groundbreaking Generative Image Dynamics
Google has introduced an innovative new technology called Generative Image Dynamics that can transform static images into dynamic, interactive scenes. This has exciting implications for content creation, metaverse experiences, and more.

Key Highlights of this paper:
The technology can generate seamless looping videos from a single image by predicting motion patterns and trajectories.
It enables realistic user interaction with objects in static images by simulating response dynamics.
The core of the system is a meticulously trained model that learns from real-world motion sequences. This allows it to understand diverse dynamic behaviors.
Downstream applications include looping videos, motion editing, and interactive dynamics in response to simulated forces.

Generate oil portraits in Midjourney
Source: midlibrary
Midjourney allows you to create beutiful art that resembles an oil painting using this prompt:
Create stunning and dramatic oil paintings that capture the true essence of the subject. Use rich textures and bold brushstrokes to bring out the personality and character of the individual, while framing them in a dark and moody ambiance. The painting should be photorealistic yet also expressive and emotional, conveying a profound sense of depth and complexity.AI Image of the day

The latest in AI and Tech
AI-Powered Alexa to Optimize Smart Homes
Amazon unveiled a new Alexa assistant powered by a large language model to deliver more natural conversations. The AI can understand context better to handle multiple requests in one command and control smart devices more seamlessly. Alexa will leverage its knowledge of 200+ smart home APIs and which devices are in your home to make homes smarter. The new Alexa will roll out slowly starting with a US preview program. While current Alexa remains free, the enhanced assistant may eventually carry a charge given its increased capabilities.
Big-Name Authors Add Firepower to Copyright Fight Against AI
More authors including George R.R. Martin sued OpenAI for copyright infringement, joining other writers pursuing legal action against AI companies for using their books without permission to train models. The Authors Guild and 17 well-known authors filed in New York, hoping for a class action status. They allege OpenAI copied works "wholesale" and could create derivative content that harms their market. OpenAI said it's having "productive conversations" with creators and is optimistic about finding mutually beneficial solutions. This lawsuit follows other recent cases against OpenAI over copyright issues as generative AI navigates IP concerns.
Google launches Bard Extensions
Bard can now connect with your Google apps and services to provide more tailored and helpful responses. It can grab info from Gmail, Docs, Maps and more to answer your questions. Bard's also improved its "Google it" feature to double-check answers and expanded access to more languages. These updates are thanks to a new model that's more intuitive and imaginative.
UK Aims to Prevent AI Market Domination with New Principles
The UK's anti-trust regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), has set out seven principles designed to prevent artificial intelligence (AI) models from being dominated by a handful of tech companies. The principles focus on accountability, transparency, access, and diversity, and aim to ensure that the full benefits of AI are felt across the economy. The new principles are designed to promote competition and ensure that AI is used in a responsible and ethical way.
