Two Weeks of Generative AI News - SEO in Crisis, OpenAI Economics, Midjourney, Google, Baidu, NVIDIA & More - Voicebot Podcast 357

This week’s Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown covers two weeks of
news. Eric Schwartz of Voicebot.ai and I jammed in 16 different
news stories and a few other tidbits in this double roundup.


Featured stories this week include:




OpenAI Economics - OpenAI is generating
a lot of revenue from ChatGPT Plus subscriptions and API
usage by software providers. However, the popularity of Azure
OpenAI Service is siphoning off many of those API customers
as they move into production on Azure, which means lower
margins for the LLM kings.




SEO in Crisis? - Generative AI search
is about to reap substantial change in the SEO industry, and
we consider the analysis of a Texas A&M marketing
professor’s warning that the current crop of SEO consultants
may be facing extinction.




Foundation Models and Transparency -
Stanford researchers have a new 100-point generative AI model
transparency checklist. We consider the good, the bad, and
the ugly of this endeavor.




Generative AI winners and losers of the
week.
