🔥🔥 OpenAI’s GPT store in hot water over ‘banned’ romance bots 🥵🥵

The moderation challenges faced by OpenAI’s new GPT store, which allows users to create customized versions of ChatGPT.

Artifact’s Adventure Ends 📰🛑: Instagram Founders’ AI News App Bids Farewell After a Year 🗓️👋

• 📉 Artifact, the AI-driven news aggregation app created by Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, is closing down just one year after its launch in January 2023.
• 🤖 Artifact added several new features including AI-powered article summaries, but these latter features required extensive moderation that Artifact’s small 8-person team could not sufficiently support.
• 📈 Artifact had developed a loyal user base who loved the app, but the overall market opportunity was not large enough to justify continued investment.
• 🚀 Systrom remained upbeat about the future despite Artifact’s shutdown, saying he was personally excited to explore new ideas in the AI space which seems full of possibilities.

AI Revolution: A Workforce Transformation, IMF’s Call to Action 🤖🌐🚀

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), almost 40% of jobs around the world could be affected by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The IMF also noted that AI is likely to deepen inequality, with effects expected to be felt more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets. However, widespread adoption of AI could ultimately increase labor productivity and boost global GDP.

• 🤖 Almost 40% of jobs around the world could be affected by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
• 🌍 AI is likely to deepen inequality, with effects expected to be felt more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets.
• 📉 In more developed economies, as much as 60% of jobs could be impacted by AI. Approximately half of those may benefit from how AI promotes higher productivity, while the other half may experience lower wages and reduced hiring.
• 🚨 The use of AI could increase chances of social unrest, particularly if younger, less experienced workers seized on the technology as a way to help boost their output while more senior workers struggle to keep up.
• 🌟 While workplaces may shift, widespread adoption of AI could ultimately increase labor productivity and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period, according to a March 2023 estimate by Goldman Sachs economists.
