As part of a recent chatbot comparison, I (ambitiously) decided to bake chocolate cakes based on recipes from ChatGPT, Bard, and a control cake from the food blog Sally’s Baking Blog. I thought everyone who tasted the cakes would choose Sally’s, aka the one that hit all my chocolate cake wants, but somehow, the runaway favorite has been ChatGPT. Yes, it based its recipe on something else, but it made good enough changes to win over an actual human-written recipe.
My intrinsic need to believe humans with actual taste buds can do better has been challenged, and I do not like it.

Urtopia, an Indiegogo darling that sells “the world’s smartest e-bikes” direct-to-consumers, spends as much time marketing its bikes as it does saddling them with superfluous tech. Now it’s pushing an Iron Man “Jarvis” feature ahead of CES complete with smart ring activation that’s so absurd I just had to share.

A new paper published by Apple researchers says they’ve developed a method that “paves the way for effective inference of LLMs on devices with limited memory.” This should allow powerful AI models to run on handheld devices with less computing power.

But forget the thinkpieces about weapons of mass destruction — it’s that Kai Bird, coauthor of J. Robert Oppenheimer biography American Prometheus, is part of a fresh group of authors joining one of the numerous copyright lawsuits against generative AI companies.

The feature is out now on the web and iOS, and OpenAI says it’s coming to Android “soon.”
