1. Meta and IBM's AI Alliance šŸ¤

Meta Platforms and IBM have launched a coalition with over 50 AI companies and research institutions, advocating for an open model of AI. This AI Alliance, including Intel, Oracle, and academic institutions, aims to foster open innovation and science in AI, countering the proprietary approach of firms like OpenAI. The alliance focuses on diversifying AI development, emphasizing the need for multiple providers to reduce reliance on single vendors.

2. Tesla's AI: Whistleblower Concerns šŸš—

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, touts the company's AI as the "best real-world AI," powering its self-driving technology. However, whistleblower Lukasz Krupski, a former Tesla technician, raised concerns about the readiness of Tesla's Autopilot feature for public use. Krupski leaked confidential Tesla files, including customer complaints about the Autopilot system, to German newspaper The Handelsblatt. These documents revealed issues like sudden acceleration and emergency braking in Tesla vehicles.

3. Trump Accuses AI of Tarnishing His Image šŸ“ŗ

Former US President Donald Trump has accused the Lincoln Project, a political advocacy group, of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to negatively portray him in ads. The ads, aired on Fox News, featured Trump's gaffes, which he claims were doctored using AI. The Lincoln Project, known for its opposition to Trump, denied these allegations, asserting they simply showcased reality.

4. AI for School Safety šŸ”’

School districts across the United States are turning to artificial intelligence for enhanced safety measures. In Louisiana's Iberville Parish, the district has implemented ZeroEyes gun detection software into school cameras. This AI system, developed by former military and law enforcement personnel, can identify potential guns and alert authorities. The software is designed to work with existing camera systems, providing an additional layer of security without compromising privacy.

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Whatā€™s Going On and Why It Matters:

Hereā€™s one of the biggest ChatGPT mistakes you probably donā€™t know youā€™re making: knowledge retention. 

If youā€™ve moved past the beginners stage, youā€™ve probably gone all-in on some new features of ChatGPT. 

Like Jordan talked about on todayā€™s show, the Default mode is actually useful now, with the ability to upload files and connect to the internet.

And GPTs? Everyoneā€™s running to create a custom GPT with their companyā€™s knowledge. And it only takes minutes. 

But hereā€™s the problem, yā€™all.

Knowledge retention. 

See, ChatGPT can be a little skittish when it comes to properly understanding and recalling the documents that you upload.

And with the GPT store reportedly now opening in January 2024, this knowledge retention issue could be even more problematic. 

As always, when a monumental update comes out, we donā€™t blindly follow the crowds.

At Everyday AI, we carefully and meticulously explore GenAI systems, pushing them to their limit and finding the holes no one knows about. 

And then we share them with you. 

So letā€™s break down the knowledge retention issue and what it means to you and your biz.šŸ‘‡

šŸ¦¾How You Can Leverage:

New bells and whistles often means new frustration and facepalms. 

But donā€™t worry, shorties, we did all the hard work for you. 

As we found out on todayā€™s show, knowledge retention inside ChatGPTā€™s new default mode and custom GPTs can be a real headache if you donā€™t know what youā€™re doing. 

Uploading docs as a knowledge base is supposed to improve your outputs. Likeā€¦ a legit blessing! 

Right? 

But, if you dive in too fast, it could actually be a pseudo blessing wrapped in a false sense of security with a pretty red bow of hallucination. 

Each mode handles knowledge retention and knowledge calling a bit differently. So, letā€™s go over the essential 1-2-3 here so you can confidently unwrap the gift of GPT. 

1 ā€“ Test before you deploy ļøšŸ“

Yoooooo. You gotta be careful. 

As we showed on the show, always test the connection/recollection abilities anytime you share a doc with ChatGPT. Whether youā€™re using the default mode or the custom GPTs, we recommend ā€˜hidingā€™ random facts in the latter half of the doc. 

And every so often, ask ChatGPT a very non-directed question about those facts. If it fails that test, you need to improve your prompting inside the default mode, or improve your configuration instructions in custom GPTs. (More on that below) 

Try this: 
TBH, custom GPTs usually do a better job at retaining knowledge.

Inside default mode, youā€™ll want to keep an eye on the 32K token limit. And it never hurts to both keep track of tokens and also re-upload the doc every so often to make sure the default mode can continue to access the doc. 

2 ā€“ Call the knowledge šŸ—£

Hello, document, are you there? 

Even after you upload your docs for ChatGPT to use as knowledge, it doesnā€™t mean it will remember. Or use that knowledge for each reply. 

You may think that ChatGPT is ā€˜usingā€™ the documents you upload in your responses. But in reality ā€” it might not be. Thatā€™s why youā€™ve gotta call your knowledge base, like we showed in todayā€™s show. 

Try this:
When in doubt, add a simple call to the knowledge base. As in, ā€˜Yoooo ChatGPT, check the doc named ā€˜your doc nameā€™ for this information. Can you tell me about it?ā€™

Whether youā€™re using a custom GPT where youā€™ve uploaded company docs or a chat in the default mode, it doesnā€™t hurt to call ChatGPT to use any docs youā€™ve uploaded.

Something as simple as: 

ā€œBefore responding, please make sure to carefully analyze the documents in your knowledge baseā€ in a custom GPT.

or 

ā€œBefore responding, please make sure to carefully analyze the (document name) that I uploaded previously.ā€ In the default mode.

3 ā€“ Always be skeptical

Sorry not sorry. 

Hereā€™s whatā€™s gonna happen in early 2024 when the GPT App Store opens. Everyoneā€™s gonna rush into the store and immediately use every GPT under the sun. 

Cool. 

(Prolly us too, TBH.) 

Yes, the OpenAI GPT store will likely be bonkers when it comes to building your biz or career. (The good kind of bonkers and the bad kind, prolly.)

But, make sure to be skeptical when that time comes.

Check who the developer is. See their privacy policy. Are they using outside APIs? Is their website even secure!? Lolz. (But seriously. If a dev has an unsecured website, you really shouldnā€™t touch anything they develop.) 

Try this:
When the GPT Store drops, due your due diligence. Especially when using a third-party GPT for your day-to-day business operations.

Not only do you need to make sure the GPT works correctly, but you should also go through a privacy and security checklist on the GPT if youā€™re going to rely on it for your biz.
