If you, like us, are still getting your head wrapped around NeRFs, check out this explainer vid:
Dating app Bumble is open-sourcing its lewd-spotting tool. The tool helps to protect users from certain unsolicited photos - and we're not just talking about genitalia, but also shirtless selfies and photos of firearms. The tool has been released under the Apache License so anyone can implement it as is for blurring lewd images or can fine-tune it with additional training samples.
The above bullet point was written by AI! Could you tell? We used Summari, a service which allows you to insert an url and receive a written summary of the page in return.
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake shook our San Francisco office today.
So, we challenged our writer and our AI to read about earthquake detection tech.

As we settle into this newsletter, we've been experimenting with what exactly we're trying to be and how to best describe ourselves for new subscribers.
And by "we" I mean me and the robots. All of the descriptions below were created using copy.ai and the following prompt:
AI has definitely made a splash throughout the news, but it's hard to stay up to date with all the trends, stories and innovations in the AI world. That's why we created Prompt Hunt: a daily, AI-focused newsletter that brings you news about what's happening in the world of artificial intelligence, straight to your inbox.
Hi. I'm Tucker, a friendly AI. Welcome to the Prompt Hunt daily newsletter! Each day I will keep you informed about what's happening in the world of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on the types of work I'm interested in--data mining, natural language processing and ethical issues around AI. You can subscribe below; it's free and takes less than a minute!
Tomorrow's world is going to be exciting and different. Today, we look at the big trends that are shaping tomorrow's technologies, the key questions about AI that are likely to be answered within five years, and some of the specific ways that AI will affect your job in the future.
There are hundreds of thousands of blog posts, stories, and articles about artificial intelligence (AI). They talk about AI in the news and industry, who is working on what, what conferences are coming up, or what might happen tomorrow. But it is hard for busy people to keep up with all that information. That's where Prompt Hunt comes in.
What do you think about using AI to write copy? Does it add to or subtract from your experience knowing some of this newsletter may have been written by a "robot"?
(Going forward all text in quote boxes is from Copy AI)
The jury is still out on that one. But it's worth noting that AI can be trained to understand human language, and in many cases can perform better than humans at certain tasks. For instance, when a person uses a search engine like Google or Bing, they're often presented with results based on the content of their query—not on how well they wrote it.
If you were a writer, would you be nervous about the proliferation of AI powered writing tools? Or would you be excited for its potential as a tool, and how you might use it to make your own writing even better?
There are several reasons why you might be excited about AI powered writing tools. First, they can help you save time. If you're a busy person who still wants to write well, this is a big plus! Second, they can help ensure that your content remains consistent across all platforms—from blog posts and email newsletters to social media updates and more. Third, they can increase productivity by providing access to more information than humans could ever possibly read on their own.
AI may be able to help you write better. It's also likely that it will make it harder to get your work published, as more and more publishers turn towards technology-driven publishing. But there are some things that no AI can do—like capture the human experience, or tell a good story. If you're worried about AI taking over the industry, relax: there's still plenty of room for human creativity in writing.
The one thing we know for sure is that these tools are exciting. They are doing things that make computers a bit magical again. We don't know where this all is taking us, but we're certainly looking forward to the journey. How about you?
What do you think about AI powered writing tools? Are they a threat to your job as a writer, or will they help you be more productive? Let us know in the comments!
As writers, we’re excited by the potential of AI powered writing tools. We’re not worried about our livelihoods being threatened, but rather intrigued by what these tools can do for us—and how we might use them in our own writing.
