Generative AI News - Busting AI Myths, Giant Funding Rounds, AI in Education and Media, and More - Voicebot Podcast 337

Host notes - My apologies about the audio quality. We recorded on
the road, and the mic setup didn't work as planned. The YouTube
video audio is a little bit stronger if you want to watch this
week. Also, the conversation and guest commentary is very good,
so I wanted to put it out there anyway. In particular, I think
you will like the discussion around LLMs and Theory of Mind,
generative AI in education, and the potential erosion of
generative AI startup valuations.  


The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown this week was recorded on
July 6, 2023. Some special segments include:




Mythical generative AI capabilities. From the theory of mind
to general AI to emergent abilities, generative AI claims
keep getting proven wrong.




The generative AI funding fountain continues to be strong,
but we discuss whether some companies are struggling to grow
into their high valuations.




We also give you a new list of generative AI winners and
losers of the week.
