Section 1.1: A Defining Moment in AI

In the spotlight this week are major players like Nvidia, Adobe Firefly, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing's Image Creator, GitHub Copilot X, Microsoft Loop, and the newly launched ChatGPT plugins.

Nvidia's Influence

It is widely acknowledged that Nvidia provides the computational power that fuels ChatGPT. Let’s explore their vision for the future of AI.

My Thoughts: What has become of Google's TPU and Tesla's Dojo? Their silence is quite noticeable.

Section 1.2: Adobe Firefly and Google Bard

Adobe Firefly

This new tool merges the capabilities of the Adobe Creative Suite with AI functionalities similar to ChatGPT.

Google Bard

Despite a rocky start, Google Bard continues to evolve. However, users must first join a waitlist to gain access. I managed to interact with Bard on March 25, and while it can engage in English conversations and generate code, my exploration of its capabilities is still ongoing. A future comparison between ChatGPT and the new Bing may be worth considering.

My Thoughts: In a previous analysis, I expressed optimism for Google’s AI efforts, yet it’s apparent that their product is lagging behind ChatGPT. As we are at the dawn of the AI age, this gap could have significant repercussions if not addressed swiftly.

Section 1.3: Advancements from Microsoft

Microsoft Bing's Image Creator

Bing has introduced an image creation feature, leveraging DALL·E, another groundbreaking product from OpenAI.

GitHub Copilot X

As the saying goes, "A workman who wants to do his job well must first sharpen his tools." For OpenAI, prioritizing AI-assisted development tools is crucial. Perhaps, one day, the code for the next iteration of ChatGPT will be entirely generated, tested, and deployed by AI itself.

A concerning thought lingers: as an LLM-based application, ChatGPT may simplify translations between programming languages, potentially erasing the distinctions among them. Users might only need to communicate their ideas in natural language, with AI generating machine code or binary as needed.

Section 1.4: The Launch of ChatGPT Plugins

Recently, just nine days after the release of GPT-4, we have welcomed ChatGPT plugins. These tools enhance ChatGPT's functionality, marking the initial steps toward a robust ecosystem. Note that joining the plugins waitlist is necessary to gain access.

Section 1.5: The Waitlist Phenomenon

Since the launch of ChatGPT, joining waitlists has become a daily routine for many. This week, I signed up for several, including one for an app designed to manage these waitlists—though, you guessed it, it also requires joining its own waitlist first.
