Generative AI News This Week - ChatGPT Turns 1, Anthropic's and Inflection's New Models, SoapBox Labs Acquired, Amazon Q & More - Voicebot Podcast 365

To say November closed with a flurry of generative AI news is a
severe understatement. OpenAI almost melted down pulled it back
together, and then we had a birthday for a little product called
ChatGPT. Nearly every OpenAI competitor attempted to seize on the
company’s turmoil and ramped up their visibility for sales,
product announcements, or fundraising. Amazon released a slate of
new announcements at the AWS re-invent conference. NVIDIA’s
quarterly revenue looks like a vertical line. And that’s not all.


Eric Schwartz, head writer of Voicebot.ai, and I break down the
news once again this week and hopefully offer a little
perspective on the story behind the story.
