Welcome back, AI’ers!

Tuesday’s Top Story: Have you noticed more spam on Instagram and Facebook?

It’s being reported that AI integration is making them less usable, as the AI-powered features are often confusing and generic and fail to provide the functionality users expect.

The pervasiveness of AI on Meta's platforms is leading to a sense of distortion and manipulation of reality as users struggle to distinguish genuine content from AI-generated content.

While Meta has pledged to label AI-generated content, concerns remain about the company's ability to effectively address the challenges posed by AI's growing presence across its ecosystem.

Here’s What’s On The Menu For Today

  • 🤖 ChatGPT Memory

  • Pika Launches Styles

  • 📰 News Hot Off The Press

  • 💰️ Newly Added AI Tools

Ring 一 Acquired by Amazon for $1.2B

Nest 一 Acquired by Google for $3.2B

If you missed out on these spectacular early investments in the Smart Home space, here’s your chance to grab hold of the next one.

RYSE is a tech firm poised to dominate the Smart Shades market (growing at an astonishing 55% annually), and their public offering of shares priced at just $1.50 has opened. 

They have generated over 20X growth in share price for early shareholders, with significant upside remaining as they just launched in over 100 Best Buy stores.

Retail distribution was the main driver behind the acquisitions of both Ring and Nest, and their exclusive deal with Best Buy puts them in pole position to dominate this burgeoning industry.

AI IN THE NEWS

ChatGPT can now remember things…

OpenAI is rolling out a new memory feature for ChatGPT that allows it to remember details and preferences from previous conversations, making future interactions more relevant and helpful. Users have full control over ChatGPT's memory, including the ability to turn it on/off, delete specific memories, or start a temporary chat without any memory. The memory feature is currently being tested with a small portion of free and Plus users, with plans for a broader rollout soon.

📫️ The details:

  • ChatGPT's memory is unique to each user and is not shared with other GPTs or ChatGPT users. Memories are also not shared with ChatGPT builders.

  • Users can teach ChatGPT to remember new information, like dietary preferences, and ask it what it remembers. Memory can be turned on/off in settings and specific memories can be deleted.

  • The memory feature is designed with privacy and safety in mind, and ChatGPT is trained not to proactively remember sensitive information unless explicitly requested by the user.

🧠 Our thoughts:

This new memory feature for ChatGPT is a game-changer.

Being able to pick up where you left off and have ChatGPT remember key details about you and your previous conversations is going to make it so much more useful, especially for things like research, writing, and task planning.

The fact that users have full control over the memory is also really important for privacy and trust. We're excited to see how this feature evolves and how it can enhance the overall ChatGPT experience.

AI is destroying Reddit…

AI-driven services are manipulating Reddit by generating and posting promotional comments using high-karma accounts, which makes these comments appear more legitimate and trustworthy.

📫️ The details:

  • "ReplyGuy" and similar services use AI to craft comments that subtly promote products or services, blending seamlessly into regular discussions.

  • These services purchase aged Reddit accounts with substantial karma to enhance the credibility of their AI-generated comments.

  • The ultimate aim is to get these comments upvoted to boost their visibility and ranking in Google searches, exploiting Reddit's strong SEO.

🧠 Our thoughts:

Social media platforms like Reddit will need to adapt quickly.

AI is not slowing down.

These tactics mislead users and undermine the authenticity of online discussions, which is a cornerstone of community trust.

It's good to see Reddit fighting back, but this digital cat-and-mouse game is far from over—keeping our online spaces genuine is going to be an ongoing battle.
