News:

Google's latest AI integration into their search engine is causing major issues. Users are reporting dangerous and incorrect responses, such as recommending glue in pizza sauce to prevent cheese from sliding, stating that smoking is recommended during pregnancy, and suggesting it's safe to leave dogs in hot cars.??

These alarming mistakes highlight significant flaws in Google's AI search capabilities that need urgent attention. The company is working on removing errors and making broader improvements to their systems based on user feedback.

OpenAI is in hot water after using a voice resembling Scarlett Johansson's for their GPT-40 demo without her permission.

While OpenAI claims they hired a voice actor with a similar voice, the public and Johansson's team are skeptical. This controversy raises questions about the ethical use of voice technology and the boundaries of AI voice replication.

If you ask me, it’s definetly NOT the same voice ?? What do you think?

Rumors are swirling about a potential collaboration between Apple and OpenAI to power the next version of Siri with GPT-4. This could signal a significant upgrade for Apple's voice assistant, potentially integrating advanced AI capabilities. Can you imagine? ??

Other potential AI-powered improvements include smart recaps, AI-generated transcripts for voice memos, on-device Spotlight search enhancements, and AI-powered writing suggestions.
