Bard could be a game changer for me. I use it most of the time when researching, say for an article. Having a line of sight (being able to ask Bard questions about) into my emails and Drive would be a HUGE game-changer. I'm sure I've had loads of conversations via email about whatever I want to write about, so grabbing that data is tremendous. I've been waiting for something like this from the Google suite for business reasons, too: we already have proprietary info shared w/Google, and I have zero interest in widening that footprint with, say, CodeInterpreter via ChatGPT.

Charlie, let me know if you're playing with this yet, or with DallE's integration into ChatGPT. Dall E is another service I use every day.

I'm definitely going to start testing it out as soon as it's available for ChatGPT Plus users next month.

If you're interested in AI for email, I suggest trying out Shortwave (https://www.shortwave.com/). No affiliation, but I've been testing them out the past few days and really like it so far!

I think Shortwave is no good simply because then both Google and Shortwave will have access to my business's proprietary info. I can wait for Google for email (but it does sound like Bard is gonna do what I want).

Fair enough! I suppose I'm a bit too cavalier with what I connect my email account to.

Super excited to test DALLE-3. Actually just wrote the draft of its 10X AI section earlier today (comparing that long prompt with Midjourney's rendering of it):

Not even close.

I love Midjourney, but I'm happy that OpenAI has opened a new dimension for competition other than just making the images look better and better. Improving natural language processing will open text-to-image up to even more users.

Lots of end-user-focused developments this week, so 10X AI is an all-news edition again.

Yeah, I think Midjourney has pretty clearly cemented itself as the "best looking" image generator, and so others will need to compete on other axes.

The next game changer would be the ability to make in-place edits through conversational language. I know a lot of people who try Midjourney and then assume they can type "make the red shirt black" and expect it to work. ChatGPT has already spoiled a generation of AI users.

You can SORT of do the "change the shirt color" with the recent Vary (Region) feature, but it won't quite keep the shirt the same in the process. So yeah, having very precise control of post-editing built into the tool is definitely another area where they can compete!
