Human-Level AI, Bing Upgrades, Code Interpreter, and Text-to-3D Were Unveiled in the Past Week!
AI is not just sci-fi anymore.
Have you heard about the latest buzz in the tech world?
No, it’s not the crypto industry this time. It’s the era of Artificial Intelligence! This is the real deal, people! AI is not just some fad that will come and go like NFTs and virtual lands. AI is here to stay, and it’s going to change the game!
You see, AI is not just about creating robots that can do our laundry or clean our homes.
It’s about solving complex problems that we never thought were possible. From generating images to making games with just a text prompt, AI is making it happen. And companies are going crazy over it, trying to outdo each other to be the top dog in the AI game.
But here’s the thing, folks.
You can’t just sit around and wait for AI to take over the world. You need to learn it, embrace it, and ride the wave.
That’s why I am introducing you to my latest creation — The AI Explorer publication! Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about AI.
And let me tell you, there’s a lot of juicy stuff happening in the AI world right now. From new breakthroughs in natural language processing to machine learning models that can predict your next move, the AI game is strong!
So, without further ado, let’s dive into some of the latest AI updates that you don’t want to miss!
1. Artificial intelligence breakthrough: human-level intelligence could be achieved in just a few years!
AI is a field of study that aims to create intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. There are three types of AI: Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI).
Currently, we are in the early stages of AI development, which primarily focuses on ANI. However, there are growing concerns about the potential risks associated with the advancement of AI technology, such as discrimination, misinformation, and privacy breaches.
To address these concerns, the US government has called upon several AI experts, including CEOs of major tech companies like Google and Microsoft, to take preventative measures.
Despite these concerns, some experts believe that AGI, which is equivalent to human-level intelligence, could be achieved within a few years. The CEO of Google’s DeepMind has made such a claim, which suggests that human-level artificial intelligence could be achieved in just a few years.
2. Microsoft blows the competition out of the water with cutting-edge Bing upgrades
Microsoft has been making exciting announcements lately, with the introduction of new features and tools. Recently, they added AI functionality to their tool, Microsoft Edge. And now, they have announced even more cool features that users can expect.
Some of these new features include the removal of the waitlist for the Bing Search Engine, the ability to save chat history, plugin support inside Microsoft Edge, the ability to generate written and visual content directly from the Bing chat interface, and the availability of the Bing Image creator in over 100 languages.
With these new updates, Microsoft is continuing to improve the functionality and user experience of its products. Users can now enjoy a more streamlined and efficient search experience, and the ability to easily create and save content directly within the platform.
3. OpenAI’s new ‘text to 3D’ project
When OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, people could get information by simply typing a prompt.
Later, Midjourney was released, a tool that converts text into images, and then several tools were developed that allow users to create games, CGI characters, and animations by writing text.
Now, OpenAI is working on a new project called “Text to 3D” which will enable users to generate 3D simply from text. This is an open-source project written in Python and there is a user-friendly guide to help get started. The project also includes a number of sample models to experiment with.
If you’re interested in trying out Text to 3D, you can find the project’s GitHub repository at https://github.com/openai/shap-e. With this new technology, users will have even more creative options at their fingertips.
4. New AI players challenging ChatGPT’s throne
ChatGPT has become very popular in the AI industry and has made people pay more attention to Microsoft, Microsoft Edge, and related technologies. However, new competitors are starting to emerge as the AI field continues to grow.
These competitors include Inflection AI, a machine learning startup founded by Reid Hoffman (the co-founder of LinkedIn) and Mustafa Suleyman (the co-founder and former head of applied AI at DeepMind).
They recently raised $225 million in equity financing.
Another competitor is HuggingChat, which is an open-source tool developed using 30 billion training parameters.
These new players are challenging the dominance of ChatGPT and could bring significant advancements to the AI field.
5. Master AI and ChatGPT with these free courses
Last week, many AI and ChatGPT courses were launched, including the ChatGPT Prompt Engineering course by Andrew Ng in partnership with OpenAI.
Additionally, educational institutions like Harvard are offering AI-related courses starting in May 2023.
If you’re interested in learning about AI, there are also many free courses available on YouTube.

6. Discover the game-changing AI tools launched in the past week!
In the past week, several new AI tools have gained popularity or have been launched.
These include:
- HuggingChat
- Microsoft Designer
- Flowise: an open-source UI visual tool for building LLM apps
- Studio AI: a drag-and-drop website development tool with AI capabilities
- Dart: an AI-powered project management tool
- Docuask: a tool that can turn uploaded documents into a chatbot capable of answering questions in multiple languages
- Twelvelabs: an AI tool capable of extracting information from videos using text input.

7. Analyze data like a pro with Microsoft’s code interpreter plugin
Microsoft has been introducing new AI tools that are highly functional and impressive.
One of the latest features to be added to ChatGPT is the Code Interpreter plugin, which allows users to analyze data without needing to spend months learning programming languages.
This plugin has been made available to only GPT-4 users.
It is a powerful plugin that can help users create professional and informative graphs, scale their businesses, and analyze stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Additionally, it has the potential to aid governments in several ways.
With Code Interpreter, users can transform data into heat maps, which can help provide a visual representation of data patterns.
In short, this new plugin is a game-changer for those who want to dive into data science without investing significant time and effort into learning coding languages.
Hope you like it.
