Welcome back, AI’ers!
Tuesday’s Top Story: Medium is set to ban AI starting on May 1. Stories with AI-generated writing (disclosed as such or not) cannot be Paywalled as part of their Partner Program.
Question.
How will Medium, or any company for that matter, know what’s written by AI or not?
Furthermore, what if the AI content is helpful and supports a positive learning environment…
Are we to turn our heads to information because it was written by or with AI? It seems a bit reckless.

AI IN THE NEWS
Adobe plans to add third-party AI functionality…
Adobe announced plans to add third-party AI applications into Adobe Premiere, including support for OpenAI's Sora text-to-video engine and Runway and Pika Labs models.
📫️ The details:
Adobe will support OpenAI's Sora text-to-video engine, as well as models from startups Runway and Pika Labs.
Adobe will add content credentials indicating which AI models were used in Premiere Pro projects.
Adobe has not yet determined how customers will access and pay for the third-party AI models within its graphics tools.
Integrating third-party AI models into Premiere Pro could significantly enhance the software's video editing capabilities, allowing users to leverage advanced text-to-video and other AI-powered features.
However, Adobe's approach to pricing and access to these models will be crucial in determining their adoption and impact on the video production industry. (Read more)
In other news, Adobe used Midjourney images to train their Firefly AI model.
Medium bans AI-generated content from its paid Partner Program…
Medium, a popular publishing platform, has announced that it will be banning AI-generated content from its paid Partner Program starting May 1, 2024
📫️ The details:
Medium will not allow stories with AI-generated writing, whether disclosed or not, to be paywalled as part of its Partner Program.
Accounts that have fully AI-generated writing behind the paywall may have those stories removed from the paywall and/or have their Partner Program enrollment revoked.
AI images do not have to be removed but must be marked as such.
Medium cites its policy that the platform is "for human storytelling, not AI-generated writing."
Medium's move is a significant step in the ongoing debate about the use of AI in content creation. By banning AI-generated content from its paid program, Medium is taking a stand to preserve the authenticity and value of human-created writing on its platform.
This decision could have broader implications for AI's role in the publishing industry and readers' perceptions and engagement with online content.
Limitless, another new AI wearable…
First, there was Humane, then the r1, and now there is Limitless.
A new AI-powered wearable device that can record and transcribe everything the user hears during meetings and other conversations to help them remember and make sense of the information.
📫️ The Details:
The Limitless Pendant is a small, wearable device that can be clipped onto clothing or worn around the neck. It is designed to record audio using beam-forming technology to focus on the speaker.
The recorded audio is then processed by the Limitless AI system, which aims to help the user recall and understand the content of the conversations.
The device has a "Consent Mode" that detects new voices and doesn't record them until the software hears them agree to being recorded, though this mode is off by default. (Read more)
The Limitless Pendant attempts to make voice assistants and AI-powered tools more context-aware and valuable for tasks like meeting note-taking and information retention.
The device could provide a more seamless and hands-free user experience by understanding the on-screen information and additional conversational context.
Maybe this one will do better than The Humane Pin? (shrugs)

✨ Devin Debunked
There’s always an AI tool that seems to break the internet, and then a few weeks pass, and someone debunks it.
This time, Devin is in the crosshairs.
Devin recently broke the internet for being one of the first AI tools to claim it would replace software developers.
Their impressive demo showcased the AI creating Chrome extensions and applying for work on Upwork.
But it may not be as good as they claim it is.
Internet of Bugs broke down why he believes it’s not as good on his YouTube channel. (link)
