AFK Semi-Short AI Newsletter of DOOOOOOOM!

Your Weekly Dose of Fun AI News & Tools

Hey everyone — we are a bit AFK this week (look it’s mid-summer and vacation comes for everyone) but just as the pod still goes on, so does the AI For Humans newsletter.

So let’s get to the (abbreviated and shorter than usual) FUN STUFF!!

OpenAI Keeps the ChatGPT Updates Coming

You may have noticed that ChatGPT got a slight upgrade over the last week. This isn’t the AI screwing with your timeline, it’s actually OpenAI improving and moving on new product!

Whether this is due to pressure coming from Meta’s LLAMA 2 or just that the screws have started turning over there, we don’t care. It’s great to see ChatGPT get better.

Tinder Brings AI To The Dating Game

Looks like dating is about to get a little more artificial… oh lord, we’re so sorry.

Tinder announced that it would start integrating AI tools into it’s dating profiles which will help users build better profiles. Turns out that dudes are pretty bad at judging which photos of them holding fish the ladies want to see.

Resurfaced Invisibility Sweatshirt Video Is Awesome

This video has been around for a bit but we hadn’t seen it (resurfaced on TT) — a group of students from the University of Maryland made a sweatshirt that’s impossible for AI cameras to detect. It’s pretty fascinating how they fooled the computers with essentially an AI image generation output and shows how easy it could be to trick spying AIs.

Tiny, Wittle, AI Text-To-Image Model From NVIDIA

Nvidia (they of the massive GPU factories) announced a brand new text-to-image model called Perfusion which can do a lot of very cool things and is literally only 100kb. You read that right - KB not MB. It’s tiny.

Perfusion Keeping Subjects In Images Very Well

It’s not out yet but we’ll be watching this super closely. The idea that AI image models are going to get smaller and better is a no-brainer but we never expected it to get this much smaller, this much better, this fast.

🪤 DUMB THING TO DO WITH AI 🪤

AI might be putting us out of business eventually but humans will always find new and dumb ways to use technology.

We’d explain but honestly you’re better off just clicking the link.

🤖 AI FOR HUMANS LINKS 🤖

Last week, we had our first truly viral TikTok and that was exciting.

We have no idea as to why certain things go viral over others but since it’s likely you’ve seen that Reddit/Glorbo post already, here’s a different TikTok where Kevin dove into SunoAI’s remarkable Chirp text-to-song project.

We cannot for the life of us understand why the algo won’t serve it and it’s very fun. Who wants to build the “ask-the-tik-tok-algorithm” ChatGPT module? We’ll donate like five dollars.

A new AI Tool lets you create musical clips from custom or AI-generated lyrics. This is Suno Sing (VOL-1). Here’s a quick showcase and app... See more

Next week, we’re back with a new pod, a new newsletter and NEW FACES.

Maybe.

Please don’t forget to share this newsletter, or our pod, with the world!
