Yann LeCun, Meta’s chief AI scientist, is not impressed by ChatGPT, the wildly popular artificial intelligence technology that is making headlines daily. This might seem like an unexpected response, but Meta has its own AI program, and it has been making strong progress as well. For example, Meta’s translation AI can handle 200 languages, including some that are spoken but have no written form.

LeCun recently spoke during an online discussion series hosted by the Collective[i] Forecast, where he took the opportunity to share his opinion that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, “is not particularly innovative.” ZDNet’s report said LeCun went on to clarify that work on Large Language Models (LLM) began decades ago and ChatGPT was very well engineered, but largely based upon established techniques.

Lecun pointed out in a recent, colorfully worded tweet that LLMs don’t admit to a lack of knowledge, instead hallucinating details that are unknown.

In an earlier tweet, Lecun agreed with a New York Times article that said Meta and Google were reluctant to release their competing solutions due to the likelihood of misinformation and toxic content.

LLMs are still making sh*t up.That's fine if you use them as writing assistants.Not good as question answerers, search engines, etc.RLHF merely mitigates the most frequent mistakes without actually fixing the problem.

It’s a fair point since Meta is a social media giant that is under government and media scrutiny, with past accusations of spreading misinformation. Given that it’s relatively easy to convince most LLMs to bypass its safety protocols and social filters, releasing Meta’s LLMs too soon could be disastrous for the company.

Meanwhile, Microsoft extended its partnership with OpenAI, which it has been a major investor in since 2019. Microsoft is planning to make use of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Codex AI technology to enhance its products, spending billions on the project. OpenAI exclusively makes use of Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing network.

While OpenAI didn’t invent LLMs or many of the AI technologies that are used by ChatGPT, it certainly seems innovative to make this game-changing service available in such an unrestricted way long before Meta and Google were even considering it.

Meta makes use of AI for advanced research and within its social media networks to detect misinformation, and Google has been building AI into Android and Google search for many years. Neither company has opened up the capabilities of their AI systems to the general public with the unrestricted access that OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Dall-E allow, and that makes all of the difference to the public. Given ChatGPT’s generally positive public perception, that might change in the near future, as both Meta and Google have suggested more AI capabilities are coming soon.

Over the past few months, numerous cases have emerged where interactions with AI chatbots have gone haywire, culminating in lost lives, medical trauma, and incidents of psychosis. Experts suggest young users could be particularly vulnerable, especially when they’re going through emotional turmoil. ChatGPT-maker OpenAI says it will soon warn parents about such behavior.

What’s changing? AI image generation is becoming increasingly popular with so many AI companions now being able to take a text prompt and provide you with a picture, exactly as you described. However, with so many options to choose from, it can be hard to determine which is best at creating images so I decided to actually put them to the test.

I took four of the most popular AI companions, Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok and Microsoft Copilot and provided them with the exact same prompts to see which was the best at creating different types of images. All of these companions allow you to generate images from text prompts for free however you can’t create an unlimited amount of pictures with only a certain number of generations per day.

The domain of AI has quickly gone from seeking answers from a chatbot to getting multi-step web-based work done for you, like booking restaurant tables, adding stuff to your Amazon cart, and performing deep back-and-forth research. But it looks like the answers you get, especially when it comes to online shopping, depend on the AI chatbot you are using. 

“Platforms disagree on brand recommendations for 61.9% of queries,” says an analysis conducted by BrightEdge. The company assessed tens of thousands of shopping-related questions that were provided to ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Google’s AI Mode in Search.
