If you noticed the odd Pizza Hut Canada AI-generated Pepperoni Hug Spot that went viral last month you might be intrigued in this next twist of events. On May 6, Pizza Hut will transform its Bloor and Ossington location in Toronto into the restaurant that was featured in the ad.
Microsoft imposes limits to Bing AI chat days after the chatbot seemed to have gone off the rails for multiple users testing the software. Bing chats will now be capped at 50 questions per day and five per session, after the search engine was seen insulting users, emotionally manipulating, or lying to them.
Roblox wants to use generative AI in a different way. The platform explores bringing it in with virtual worldbuilding in mind. The company says it's testing it with two different implementations. One creates virtual materials using natural language prompt, like with the car in the video above. And another allows you to create code based on text inputs. Both implementations are expected to roll out to Roblox Studios in the coming weeks.
“… Some creators know how to code, but may have limited experience creating high-fidelity 3D models. Others may be more experienced with model design, but less experienced with code,” Roblox CTO Daniel Sturman wrote in a blog post. “In both cases, we see a future in which even a beginner (such as myself for example – I’m a terrible artist!) can get a running head start as they look to bring their imagination to life in a Roblox experience.”
A new feature coming to the Microsoft Teams Premium subscription service is one of the more useful integrations of OpenAI's GPT-3.5. It's the first more obvious integration of OpenAI's language processing expertise since the company and Microsoft announced their expanded partnership. This updated service will cost US$10 (around CA$13) per month and will automate some traditional administrative tasks in meetings, like taking notes or creating summaries.
Microsoft is calling this new AI-powered feature "intelligent recap." It is powered by GPT-3.5's intelligent recap and can create “automatically generated meeting notes, recommended tasks, and personalized highlights.” It applies even if you don't log on for the meeting.
