Generative AI News This Week - Alexa LLM, DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT, Mircosoft Copilot, Google Bard, Funding, and More - Voicebot Podcast Ep 353

We have another episode of the Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown,
which provides a live discussion of the week’s top industry news.
This week, the tech giants were out in force with news from
Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and OpenAI. Featured stories
this week include:




Alexa Gets an LLM - Amazon has had a
large language model (LLM) for years, but never let it out of
the lab until ChatGPT changed the market seemingly overnight.
Amazon has fully embraced LLMs at this point and started to
infuse it through AWS, and across its Alexa-enabled products
and services. Eric and I discussed what was demonstrated this
week, my hands-on experience with the capabilities, the
limitations, and more inside details.




Hour One Can Change What You Say in a
Video - Hour One just launched a really
interesting new feature that enables you to change what
people say in a video. Add a new script or upload an audio
file, and it will match the person’s mouth and facial
movements with the written text. This can be used for your
own footage or stock video. Check out the demo here.




Assistants on Parade - Google Bard got
an upgrade this week with a connection to Google Workspace
and other Google services. This may be truly useful and
extend the value of Bard to a level of personalized benefit
we have not yet seen in the market. Microsoft also announced
Copilot will come to Windows 11 next week, and ChatGPT is
expected to get access to DALL-E 3 text-to-image generation.
This led to a more general discussion about digital
assistants and the different models that are emerging.




Generative AI winners and losers of the
week.
