Can you imagine writing a text and having it read by James Dean or Judy Garland? Well, now it's possible!
ElevenLabs has launched their new "iconic voices feature" in their Reader App, featuring the voices of Judy Garland, James Dean, Burt Reynolds, and Sir Laurence Olivier. This is made possible through partnerships with the estates of these legendary artists.
The Reader App, which debuted last week, converts digital texts like articles, PDFs, ePubs, newsletters, and e-books into emotionally rich, context-aware voiceovers using AI technology.
These iconic voices are exclusively available for individual streaming within the app, allowing fans to experience works like L. Frank Baum’s "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" voiced by Judy Garland or “Sherlock Holmes” narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier.
Meta's latest innovation, 3D-Gen, is changing everything for 3D asset creation. This advanced tool transforms text descriptions into detailed 3D models in under a minute, significantly speeding up the traditionally time-consuming process.
Meta 3D-Gen operates in two efficient stages:
AssetGen: Generates an initial 3D model from a text prompt, complete with textures and material maps, in about 30 seconds.
TextureGen: Improves these textures to ensure high fidelity and quality, adding another 20 seconds to the process.
This tool promises to revolutionize industries like game development, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) by reducing the time and cost associated with creating high-quality 3D assets.
Elon Musk has confirmed the launch of Grok 2, the latest large language model (LLM) from his AI company, set for August. Building on its predecessor, Grok 2 promises better features and performance, potentially setting a new standard in AI development.
One of the major advancements in Grok 2 is the reduction in reliance on training data from the internet. This change aims to improve the quality of responses and address the issue of AI models sounding similar due to shared training data. Musk highlighted the significant effort required to remove internet-sourced data to enhance the uniqueness and accuracy of Grok 2’s responses.
While specific details about Grok 2's new features are limited, Musk's comments suggest significant improvements over previous models. The AI community is particularly interested in how Grok 2 will tackle the challenge of training data dependence, a common issue among current LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
Kyutai has unveiled Moshi, an advanced AI model capable of expressing over 70 emotions and various speaking styles, from whispering to singing and adopting different accents. Moshi's real-time conversational abilities are showcased through lifelike demos, highlighting its versatility and quick response time.
By merging complex processes into a single neural network, Moshi overcomes traditional latency issues and loss of emotional nuance, ensuring natural and fluid conversations. Trained with a mix of text and audio data, and working with a professional voice artist, Moshi's model is efficient enough to run on a standard MacBook Pro.
One Guide : Automating Tasks with GPTs Using ChatGPT
This guide explores how to use ChatGPT to identify tasks that can be automated and then guides you through building GPTs to handle these tasks.
It includes step-by-step instructions and detailed prompt templates to make the process straightforward and practical, covering task identification and automation feasibility.
Overview
The process of automating tasks with GPTs involves:
Identifying tasks for automation.
Determining the feasibility of automating these tasks.
Building GPTs to automate the identified tasks.
Testing and refining the GPTs to ensure they work efficiently.
Identifying Tasks for Automation
The first step in automating tasks with GPTs is to identify which daily tasks can be automated. This process involves asking ChatGPT for assistance and providing detailed information about your daily tasks.
Step 1: Asking ChatGPT About Your Daily Tasks
Use a prompt template to ask ChatGPT for assistance in identifying which of your daily tasks can be automated.
Prompt:
I need your assistance to identify which of my daily tasks can be automated. Please start by asking me to list all my daily tasks in detail. After that, ask specific questions about each task to determine its automation potential. Finally, create a priority list of tasks based on the ease and impact of automation.
Step 2: ChatGPT Asking Specific Questions
Once you've listed your tasks, ChatGPT will ask follow-up questions to determine if they can be automated. Provide detailed answers about each task.
Prompt:
ChatGPT, here are my tasks: [Insert list of tasks and brief description of each process] Can you ask specific questions about each of these tasks to determine their potential for automation and then provide an analysis?
Step 3: Creating a Priority List
Based on your responses, ChatGPT will analyze each task's potential for automation and create a priority list of tasks based on the ease and impact of automation. (remember to insert this prompt in the same conversation)
Prompt:
Based on the answers provided, can you create a priority list of tasks for automation with a brief explanation for each?
Determining Automation Feasibility
After collecting answers about your daily tasks, ChatGPT will help you decide which tasks are feasible for automation.
Prompt:
Here are my answers to the questions. Can you help me determine which tasks can be automated, provide a brief explanation for each, and recommend the first task to automate based on impact and feasibility?
Outcome:
Analyze Responses
ChatGPT will review the answers provided for each task to assess its automation potential.
Create Priority List
Based on the analysis, ChatGPT will create a priority list of tasks for automation with a brief explanation for each.
Recommend First Task
ChatGPT will recommend the first task to automate based on impact and feasibility.
Now, do you want to learn how to create a GPT for these tasks? See you next week! 😜
