⚖️ The New York Times sues OpenAI

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, seeking billions in damages. This legal action could mark a crucial juncture in the debate over AI and copyright laws.

Central to the NYT's lawsuit is the claim that ChatGPT often produces outputs that are verbatim extracts from their articles, many of which are behind a paywall and therefore not freely accessible to the public. This action, according to the NYT, directly affects both their ad-based and subscription-based revenue models.

Why does it matter? The outcome of this lawsuit might be a defining moment in the future of generative AI. A ruling in favor of the NYT could significantly slow down the advancement of AI startups, which would then face stricter controls on the use of online data for their training. Conversely, a decision favoring OpenAI would establish a crucial precedent, potentially allowing for broader use of this kind of data.

AI TOOL OF THE DAY

⚡ Pika 1.0 is finally available to everyone

The wait is finally over. After some time in closed beta, Pika Labs has finally made their AI video generator Pika 1.0 accessible to the public. What exactly is Pika? It's essentially the video equivalent of what Midjourney and DALL-E 3 are for images.

Key features of Pika 1.0:

• Photo-to-Video: it can turn static images into dynamic videos, like animating a meme.

• Text-to-video: the classic prompt-based AI generation, just like DALL-E 3 and Midjourney.

• Style Transformation: users can alter the style of their videos, such as changing a live-action clip into a cartoon.

• Editable Elements: it allows tweaking various aspects like a character's outfit, camera perspectives, and movements, all through simple text commands.

• Video Extension: Pika 1.0 can intelligently extend the length of a video by predicting and creating additional content beyond the original footage.

Just yesterday, we talked about Google's VideoPoet, and now there's more to be excited about with Pika going public. At the same time, Runway keeps making their AI video tools even better. It's an awesome time for anyone looking to incorporate AI into their video creation process.
