OpenAI: A Text-to-Speech Model for Creating Human-like Audio from a Few Seconds of Speech with ChatGPT

Most of the changes to the bot are about what it can answer: questions, information, and improved models. This time, though, it’s tweaking the way you use ChatGPT itself. A new version of the service will allow you to prompt the bot by either speaking aloud or uploading a photo, rather than just typing in a sentence. The new features are rolling out to those who pay for ChatGPT in the next two weeks, and everyone else will get it “soon after” according to OpenAI.

A new text-to-speech model is being rolled out by Openai and is said to be able to create “human-like audio from just text and a few seconds of sample speech.” You’ll be able to choose ChatGPT’s voice from five options, but OpenAI seems to think the model has vastly more potential than that. While keeping the sound of the narrator’s voice, OpenAI is working with the service to translate the podcast into other languages. OpenAI has the potential to be a part of the synthetic voice industry.

It’s possible to build a synthetic voice with less than a few seconds of audio, which may lead to problematic use cases. “These capabilities also present new risks, such as the potential for malicious actors to impersonate public figures or commit fraud,” the company says in a blog post announcing the new features. The model is going to be more controlled and restricts to specific use cases as a result of that reason.

How Multimodal AI Can Learn to Describe Natural Language Using Google Lens, GPT-4, And Other Search Engines: The Case for Gemini

The image search, meanwhile, is a bit like Google Lens. You snap a photo of whatever you’re interested in, and ChatGPT will try to suss out what you’re asking about and respond accordingly. The drawing tool in the app can be used to make your question clear or to type questions into the app. Rather than doing a search, you can prompt the bot and refine the answer if you want, which is helpful because you can do two searches at the same time. This is a lot like what the internet giant is doing with multi-dimensional searches.

The most recent GPT-4 is a language model created using lots of text from various sources around the web. While animal and human intelligence use a variety of types of sensory data, including audio and visual, creating more advancedai may require feeding the algorithms that do that as well.

Google’s next major AI model, Gemini, is widely rumored to be “multimodal,” meaning it will be able to handle more than just text, perhaps allowing video, images, and voice inputs. “From a model performance standpoint, intuitively we would expect multimodal models to outperform models trained on a single modality,” says Trevor Darrell, a professor at UC Berkeley and a cofounder of Prompt AI, a startup working on combining natural language with image generation and manipulation. “If we build a model using just language, no matter how powerful it is, it will only learn language.”

Phone data could reduce GPS errors by 10-20% in some areas, and more in underserved regions, said Ningbo Wang, an atmospheric physicist at the aerospace information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Wang’s analysis showed that the noise in phone measurements has a standard deviation of around 70 TECU, more than 30 times larger than the measurement noise for traditional monitoring stations.

US President Joe Biden will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Peru on Saturday, said an official.

Body casts from Pompeii show who the victims were

Researchers found that Pompeii’s population was genetically diverse, which is a reversal from previous theories. The researchers used the remains of Pompeiians being pulled from their bodies and placed into casts to fill the voids left by their decomposing bodies. They had the opportunity to collect some of these fragments during efforts to restore 86 of the 104 plaster casts.

Atomic nuclei being Smashed together reveal their shapes

Researchers have revealed a new technique toImage the shape of atomic nuclei – by smashing them together with high-energy collisions. Current methods take a long-exposure photo of an atom’s nucleus, which doesn’t capture the subtle variations in how the protons and neutrons arrange themselves. The new method involves collision of nuclei and use of information on debris to determine their shape.

It also said that Apple has put a little more thought into upgrading user experience, at least behind the scenes.
