What’s up team!

Today we’re learning about the issues developing a LLM in China, Patent law and another video editor.

It’s 100% more interesting than it sounds.

Trust me.

Okay even if not theres an AI generated pizza advert.

Tomorrow we’re going to look at where AI is going to get to in the next 6 months. Its’s shocking.

Let’s go!

🗞 News in 30 secs’

🌋 Content issues everywhere…
Few things to call out here:

1/ Ed Sheeran was in court today arguing he didn’t plagiarise a marving Gaye classic. No AI was involved in this story, but they argued that all pop music sounds the same, and that significant similarities are expected. We’ll keep an eye on this, but if the court agrees with Sheeran it might have consequences for the ongoing generative music copyright question.

2/ The supreme court refused to recognise AI as the inventor of a patent. Given that all content created by AI right now is effectively regurgitated human inventions that makes sense. But leading lawyers agree “Our laws are not equipped, the way they’re written right now, to handle that scenario.” where AI makes it’s own inventions.

Watch this space. Close.

🎶 Go ghost mode with ChatGPT
OpenAI have added a mode to ChatGPT to help users choose what information they share with OpenAI. When this mode is on, no data will be used to train the GPT model. As well as more control over the data going in, you can also control the data coming back out with a nifty export tool.

This is brilliantly terrifying. A glimpse into the future where out most basic desires are turned into finely tuned AI Adverts for Pizza. Watch this. Thank me at the water cooler.

So is ChatGPT a thing in China?

Right. So. All the models we’re familiar with like ChatGPT, Claude, HuggingChat have all been trained on loads of content.

They logically respond with what their input data tells them too.

So if I ask give me a recipe for pancakes I get back instructions for light, fluffy goodness.

And if I ask this…

And here lies the problem with AI in China. Creators need to balance making a useful chatbot and making one that conforms to Chinese speech controls. e.g don’t mention what happened in 1989 🤫

ChatGPT has been banned in China for this, amongst other reasons, causing two things:

1/ The creation of ChatGPT login black market.

2/ The race to create a controlled and localised Generative AI tool for China.

In fact Baidu, a ‘leading’ AI generator in china admitted that the first live demo of it’s own chatbot Ernie Bot, was all pre-recorded. Due to fears that the bot could hallucinate live.

Sounds pretty funny.

And as if it wasn’t hard enough, the Chinese government last week released a series of rules for AI bots to follow.

In a nutshell AI bots must:

• Agree with the CCP.

• Don’t disagree with the CCP.

• Get the CCP to complete a ‘security review’ of any application before it goes live.

This drive for regulation in AI in China, sets a couple questions we’ll be keeping our eye on:

1/ Is a LLM for China even possible, given how difficult it’s been for even OpenAI to prevent hallucinations

2/ Are we going to see a significant split between multiple models, trained to give different responses based on where in the world you are. Essentially creating parallel universes?

What’s Appnin’ 🎮

Picture this.

You see the hottest new Youtube Trend poppin’ off.

You gotta feed that algo, but too camera shy?

It’s cool. We got you.

With no video or editing skills required, Synthesia helps you create AI avatars and videos with just a written prompt. On their website they show boring examples like training videos or sales demos.

But imagine this, we’ve seen @lilmiquela, a CGI influencer with 2.8M followers on instagram, it won’t be long until someone creates the viral video with Mr.Beast.Ai.
