While ChatGPT offers the option to disable model training on your content inside ChatGPT's settings page, it also disables Chat History. This discourages users from disabling model training. That said, OpenAI has a separate privacy portal page where you can request the company to not train its model on your data while keeping the Chat History functionality intact. OpenAI doesn't promote this privacy portal page inside ChatGPT's interface. In fact, a passing mention is found on its FAQ page.
DALL-E can generate solid visuals but has lagged behind Midjourney in editing, thus limiting its creative appeal.

Microsoft introduced Windows Copilot with much pomp and hype, but is it really an intelligent AI assistant to help you with everyday Windows tasks? Turns out, it's just another AI chatbot like Edge Copilot with few system integrations. Microsoft decided to replace Cortana with Windows Copilot, but there is close to zero feature parity and feels like a downgrade. Windows Copilot should embrace vision models to perform system actions locally like composing emails, interacting with various files, setting alarms, tweaking system settings, and more.

Groq is a company formed by ex-Google TPU engineers who have developed an LPU (Language Processing Unit) that can generate outputs at a blistering speed. It can generate over 500 tokens per second while using a 7B model and close to 250 tokens per second while using a 70B model. ChatGPT and Gemini generate responses at a speed of 50 to 60 tokens per second. The Groq LPUs are said to be highly performant with much less latency and minimum energy consumption. With the introduction of LPUs, expect instant interaction with AI models soon.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series brings with it a cool AI feature called AI Generative Wallpapers.

Touted to be the most capable model by the Google DeepMind team, the Gemini Ultra 1.0 model has been finally released. Gemini Advanced is powered by the Ultra model so we compared it with OpenAI's GPT-4 model. In our tests, we found that Gemini Advanced still lacks rigorous commonsense reasoning capability, hence, it's nowhere close to GPT-4. However, in creating writing, it does a better job than GPT-4. In coding tasks, it's indeed an improvement, but with tools like Code Interpreter in GPT-4, you are likely to get better results in ChatGPT.
