- 🤖 ChatGPT Didn't Train Bard
What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. Major League Baseball celebrated Opening Day yesterday. I think the strike zone is a great task for AI to take on.
Here are the hits of the day:
Google had a bad news day
The OG HustleGPT is quiet…too quiet
Microsoft is setting up ads in Bing Chat
The AI code wars have begun
GOOGLE IS HURTING FOR SOME GOOD NEWS
Alphabet wants to beat OpenAI, but there’s one issue: they’ve got two companies trying to do the same thing.
You may not know this, but Alphabet acquired DeepMind in 2014 and operates separately (sometimes competitively) from Google’s AI lab.
That is until ChatGPT came out.
According to The Information, the code red at Alphabet is forcing the two teams to come together and work on an undercover GPT-4 competitor nicknamed Gemini.
It’s a classic anti-hero who joins the hero to stop the villain story. But I am sure they’re still debating who’s Batman and who’s Superman in that example.
Buried in the ninth paragraph of the story was some spilled tea that we can’t help but wonder about:
It turns out Jacob Devlin, a renowned AI researcher, left Google after the company tried to train Bard on ChatGPT data. The team wanted to use ShareGPT’s outputs to train Bard and help it catch up to ChatGPT.
Devlin pointed out that it violated OpenAI’s terms of service and would make Bard too similar to ChatGPT.
Google denied the report but did not comment when The Verge asked them if Google ever used ChatGPT data to train their AI models.
Things are getting prickly, and Google feels desperate for good news soon. Instead, they keep playing second fiddle in big stories while taking center stage in controversies.
As far as winning combinations go, it’s more Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving than Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
That one was for all you basketball fans out there; enjoy.

WAS HUSTLEGPT JUST A HUSTLE?
Prompt: a robot collecting cash Style: Claymation
It was great content. Two weeks ago, Jackson Greathouse Fall captivated AI enthusiasts when he tweeted about his HustleGPT experiment.
The idea was simple: he invests $100 into ChatGPT, and it tells him the business to make.
The result was Green Gadget Guru. The viral idea launched a huge Discord community of 2,000+ members that Fall used to start a project called “Make Shift.”
But where are the Green Gadget Guru updates?
An article on Futurism did the digging for us and found that most of the actual site's work is barebones.
Templated text is the only sign of life in the blog post that Fall featured in his thread, and there are no affiliate links on a site dedicated to that exact purpose.
How did they land $130 in revenue, then? I’d assume it’s the ad he sold near the bottom of the OG thread.
Look, the guy will give us an update. But we shouldn’t wait on the edge of our seats to hear about his HustleGPT ideas. ChatGPT can’t run everything for him yet, and humans are slow.
AI is rough around the edges still, and that will cause friction. You shouldn’t expect perfection from a prompt alone.
Right now, the best work we can do with AI takes two to tango. In other words, never underestimate the human element in this work.
Your effort still makes a difference.
Just update us more than once and a while if you go viral with your idea, okay?
