Google Assistant to get the LLM update

Hello folks, here’s what we have today;

 Our picks 

1/

Internal emails suggest Google is bringing generative AI to their Assistant. It’s somewhat baffling to me that the likes of Alexa and Siri haven’t been beefed up with LLMs yet. But Google has made a start, with work on the mobile product having started already. The reports are that the reshuffle to get this done will likely result in layoffs.

50 Years of Hip Hop Mixtape AI Art Generator It’s a campaign from Sprite (the beverage brand, not stripe $$) for celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop and they are using AI in it. You chat with an AI chatbot about Hip Hop and it makes the cover art for your mixtape. Sickk, right?
