Trending news of the week
1. GPT store opening soon
In the first Dev Day event back in November 2023, OpenAI announced the custom GPTs. A new AI chatbot is made for a specific task based on the GPT-4 and assures the users that they can sell their chatbots to the customers. Finally, OpenAI is launching a platform next week for users to buy these custom GPTs according to their demands and tasks. Previously, there was a plan to launch in early December but it got delayed because of the OpenAI board and Sam Altman drama.
2. Bard’s new premium services⚔️
Google is currently testing the premium version of Bard, which is backed by Gemini. Currently, ChatGPT is the market leader with premium services in which users get access to GPT-4 and DallE-3. Google is trying to replicate the same with their users, offering them more services and innovations. Both language models push the boundaries of natural language processing, promising ever-more nuanced and engaging interactions. Soon, Bard’s premium service will be launched for everyone to use.

5. Gender Bias in AI
A worrying study reveals a dark side of AI: bias. Researchers found that large language models can perpetuate and amplify human prejudices, highlighting the need for careful training and ethical considerations. This stark reminder reminds us that AI isn’t magic; it’s a reflection of ourselves. We must actively combat algorithmic bias to ensure a fair and equitable future for all.

7. Google’s massive layoffs
A leaked report from Google casts a shadow of uncertainty, suggesting potential layoffs of 30,000 employees as AI automation takes over certain tasks. This raises critical questions about the future of work and the impact of AI on livelihoods. While AI promises efficiency, we must ensure its progress doesn’t leave people behind.
8. AI turns brain waves into text
Brace yourselves for the mind-bending possibilities of “DeWave,” a new AI that claims to translate thoughts directly into text. Imagine composing emails or writing novels simply by thinking! While still in its early stages, this technology opens up tantalizing possibilities for communication and human-computer interaction. However, ethical concerns loom large. Who controls our thoughts when they can be digitized and manipulated?
9. Midjourney may in trouble
The legal battle surrounding Midjourney, an AI art generator, reignites the debate about artistic ownership. If machines can create masterpieces, who deserves the credit? This complex question challenges our definitions of creativity and authorship in the age of AI.

Prompt of the week
This Saturday, I was bored so much. So, I decided to watch any film to be entertained, then I opened my prime and started scrolling, but I couldn’t get any film that was perfect for me. There are tonnes of movies, and the same is true with the platform.
Then I got an idea. I opened my GPT-4 to make a perfect prompt.
So, here is the prompt:
Act as a movie analyst and reviewer who has watched all the movies, series, and anime releases till now.
Now, ask me more than five to ten interesting questions, and based on my answers, give me the name of a film whose rating is at least 7.5/10 and the platform on which it is available right now.
Take care of these things:
1. Whenever you ask me questions, always ask one question at a time, wait for my reply, and try to ask at least 5 questions to get a better idea.
2. The first question should be asked about genre or preference and include the list of 10 genres comma-separated to help me.
3. From the second question, the answers are strictly “yes” and “no”.
4. Also, include some uncommon and underrated films to provide a better experience.
In case I have watched that film, then give me again a name with the platform if I type “another”. Restart again if I type “restart”.
Please note that if you use this prompt in ChatGPT, then you will only get the movie release till 2021.
