The Challenges of Perplexity

The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for June 1, 2023, is here. We have some special segments for you today with hosts Eric Schwartz from Voicebot.ai and Bret Kinsella. These include:

• An Nvidia video demo of a humanlike conversation with an in-game non-player character

• Live demos of Bing search inside of ChatGPT and Google Bard’s similarity

• A short video showing how the Google Search Generative Experience beta release works.

Eric and Bret also introduced a new segment, generative AI winners and losers of the week. I am sure you will find that to be a fun addition to the show.

***Note: There are a couple of videos that we ran on the live video stream that did not record properly, so there were removed from the audio. 

This week’s top stories include multiple NVIDIA announcements, OpenAI’s new AI reasoning capabilities, Runway’s big payday and Google’s investment, Spotify voice clones may be coming, TikTok tests a generative AI-powered assistant, how search is changing, and, of course, the lawyer’s ChatGPT debacle.

Please double-click on the video above and give us a like 👍. I’d appreciate the help with YouTube’s AI black box algorithms. 😀🎉🚀
