1. Google's Assistant is Getting a Major AI Upgrade š
Google is planning to "supercharge" its Assistant with generative AI, similar to the tech behind ChatGPT and Google's own Bard chatbot. This could mean that Assistant might soon be able to answer questions based on info it finds all over the web, just like Bard.
2. Meta's AI Chatbots: The New Kids on the Block š¤
Meta is gearing up to launch a range of AI-powered chatbots with distinct personalities as early as September. The social media giant is reportedly designing prototypes for chatbots that can hold human-like conversations with users, aiming to boost engagement on its platforms.
3. YouTube's New AI Video Summarizer š„
According to a support page notice, Google (owner of Youtube) is experimenting with AI to provide a brief overview of a video's content, without replacing the existing human-written description. This feature is currently limited to a select number of English-language videos and users.
4. Fiverr Adding an AI-Powered Matchmaker šÆ
Fiverr, the online marketplace for freelancers, is launching two new services: Fiverr Business Solutions and Fiverr Neo. Fiverr Neo is the star of the show, an AI-powered matching service designed to help customers find the perfect professional for their specific project needs.
5. Are AI Chatbot Hallucinations Fixable? š¤
AI chatbots may be getting a little too imaginative. AP News reports that these bots are now commonly creating "hallucinations," or false information, during conversations. Some wonder if this is becoming an unfixable problem.

š¤·āāļø Whatās Going On and Why It Matters:
In late 2022, ChatGPT set the internet ablaze.
Suddenly, just about every human everywhere knew about the AI bot that could write content on demand.
Like Google, ChatGPT has become a verb.
āJust ChatGPT itā
But, the majority of people are making one HUGE mistake.
The free version kinda sucks. (At least compared to the paid version)
(Sorry not sorry.)
OK, OK. Donāt get us wrong.
The free version of ChatGPT is still groundbreaking tech, and is so technically advanced and powerful and yada yada yada.
But, yo, have you really not tried the paid version yet?
Maybe our Everyday AI team wasnāt blown away by the free version, as we had been using the GPT tech in the wild since 2020.
Thatās why we dedicated an entire episode to go over the pros and cons of the paid and free version of ChatGPT.
The skinny?
The free version is a 1999 flip phone.
The paid version is the iPhone 16 X Plus/Max that can run your entire business.
We on the same page now? Cool, letās dive in:
š¦¾How You Can Leverage:
Pay for ChatGPT?
āYeah right. The free version is more than enough!ā
Said no one ever.
(But iff youāve said the above, please, please, please, listen to todayās podcast then scroll to the bottom for a lil gift from us. Youāll thank us later.)
OK, welcome back.
You now know the differences between the free and paid version of ChatGPT.
Letās break it down to hammer it all home šØ
1 ā The free version is so 2021 š“š»
Like, literally.
One of the biggest hallucinations people get in ChatGPT is when it makes stuff up. Thatās especially the case when youāre using the free version of ChatGPT, as it cuts at 2021.
Essentially, that Econ 101 paper that the free ChatGPT wrote for you aint gonna reflect anything past September 2021, so be prepared for some outdated and stale copy.
Try this: Get ChatGPT plus and give it internet access. Even though Open AI took away the āBrowse with Bingā mode because of some legal trouble, we got you. Hereās how to still access the internet in ChatGPT.
2 ā Plugins change the game š
Our favorite part of ChatGPT plus?
Plugins. As we talked about today, plugins are what makes that Nokia snake phone the smartest smart phone ever. They can essentially run your business.
Try this: OK, thereās 800 plugins. Where do you start? Join us for our livestream on Friday as we dive into the best ChatGPT plugins.
3 ā Learn with PPP š¤
Self-promotion time:
