AI Power Moves: Google’s $2.7B Talent Bet, ChatGPT’s Canvas Revolution, and Game-Changing Video Automation Tips

👋 Ready for another mind-bending Tuesday? Let’s dive into the latest AI developments that’ll make your synapses sizzle!

First up, a question that’s been buzzing around the tech world: Is AI worth it? 🤔
Well, Google seems to think so, and they’re putting their money where their mouth is – a cool $2.7 billion to be exact! 💰
That’s right, folks. Google just shelled out this eye-watering sum to bring back a single employee: AI expert Noam Shazeer. After 21 years at Google, Shazeer left in 2021 to start Character.AI, where users can chat with bots mimicking real or fictional characters. Now, through a deal with Character.AI, Shazeer is back in the Google fold.
While Google claims the money is for Character.AI‘s tech, many suspect it’s really about getting Shazeer back. Talk about a golden handshake! This move highlights the fierce battle for top AI talent as tech giants race to stay ahead.
Okay, let’s stop dreaming guys, and move on … Feeling inspired to brush up on your AI skills? 😉

Now, let’s talk about some exciting updates from our old friend ChatGPT. OpenAI has rolled out a nifty new shortcut feature that’ll make your AI interactions smoother than ever. Here’s the lowdown:
1. Start a new chat and type “/” in the input field.
2. Choose from: Picture (DALL-E), Search (web), or Reason (GPT-o1).
3. For images: “/picture [description]” (e.g., “/picture futuristic city”)
4. For web searches: “/search [query]” (e.g., “/search copywriting tips for billboards “)
5. For complex reasoning: “/reason [task]” (e.g., “/reason analyse implications of AI in Healthcare”)

But wait, there’s more! OpenAI has just launched Canvas, a new ChatGPT interface that’s set to revolutionize collaborative writing and coding projects. Here’s what you need to know:
• Canvas opens in a separate window alongside the chat for direct editing.
• New features include inline feedback, targeted editing, and handy shortcuts.
• It uses the latest GPT-4o model, boosting accuracy by 30% and quality by 16% in tests.
• Developers can now review, debug, and translate code more easily.
• Canvas is rolling out in beta to Plus and Team users, with a broader release coming soon.
