ChatGPT Search to Launch Next Week 🔍

OpenAI is developing a search engine called "SearchGPT" that will use AI to find answers on the web, according to a Bloomberg report.

Details:

• "SearchGPT" will display results in a chat window similar to ChatGPT, where users can ask follow-up questions for a conversational search experience. It's also said to be able to use images alongside written responses to questions when they’re relevant.

• It will summarize web pages in a maximum of 300 characters and cite web sources, similar to Perplexity.

• In addition to text search, it will offer image search and widgets for weather, calculator, sports, finance, etc.

Reports indicate that OpenAI has been aggressively trying to poach Google employees for a team that is working hard to ship the product soon. A new competitor for Google and Perplexity seems to be just around the corner.

Apple’s New "Outrageously Powerful Chip for AI”

Apple has announced its next-generation M4 chip, which focuses on boosting performance for AI-related tasks in the new iPad Pro models.

Details:

• CEO Tim Cook said this announcement marked 'the biggest day for iPad since its introduction' and referred to the M4 as an 'outrageously powerful chip for AI.'

• The M4 chip delivers 4x better performance than existing iPad Pro models.

• This chip features Apple's 'most powerful Neural Engine ever,' capable of 38 trillion operations per second (TOPS) and delivering the same performance as the latest PC chips with only a quarter of the power.

This is only the beginning as the company is expected to show off its first batch of AI tools for the iPhone and iPad at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

How to use AI to morph aging

1. Create a character on an AI image generator

Example prompt: “A teenage man, close up shot, macro”

This is the result using the RealVisXL model:

2. Img2Img on Remix.ai 

Go to the Img2Img feature and select the previous image as the base image and change the prompt to change the character age .

Example prompt: “A 35 year old man, close up shot, macro”

Repeat this process for each age you like to change your character to. Download all of the images for the next steps.

3. Go to Runway

On Runway, select the Frame Interpolation feature from the main menu. Upload your character age images and arrange them chronologically from youngest to oldest.

4. Set the duration of your clip and hit generate

That's it! You should have an age-morphing video similar to the one shown above.
