Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Midjourney breaks out of Discord: Image generation on the web is available in an alpha version. To use the alpha version, you must have generated at least 10,000 images and log in to the current alpha website. Compared to Discord, it offers a simpler interface where you can set parameters like aspect ratio, chaos, or style using sliders and tags. You can also insert images into a prompt with a single click. X user Nick St. Pierre shows the new Midjourney site in action in a video below. There is no news yet about the upcoming version v6, which Midjourney announced in September for this year. The new version is supposed to follow the prompts more closely, which is currently the biggest advantage of OpenAI's image generator DALL-E 3.

The New York Times has hired Zach Seward, co-founder of Quartz, as its first editorial director for AI initiatives. Seward will work with newsroom leadership to establish guidelines for the use of generative AI in news production. He is also expected to build a small team to experiment with AI tools, prototype ideas, and design AI training programs for journalists. The move comes as news organizations are cautiously exploring AI tools for tasks such as automating publishing and generating headlines. AP has an official partnership with OpenAI. The Times has already begun allowing newsroom staff to experiment with AI tools. But concerns remain about the potential impact on quality, jobs, and transparency, as recent examples show.

YouTuber "Greg Technology" has recreated Google's discredited multimodal Gemini AI demo using OpenAI's GPT-4 Vision to demonstrate real-time voice and vision prompts. The original Gemini AI demo video, which was criticized for being staged and not recorded in real-time, featured voice interactions that were later dubbed in. In response, Greg Technology released a video using GPT-4V in which he discussed a drawing, asked about emoticons, and had the AI identify a game. It's not as polished as Google's demo, of course, but it's real-time and real. Greg has published his demo code on GitHub.
