What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. I wish you the best as you begin the arduous journey from your bed to the coffee maker.

Here's what to read while you sip on said coffee:

  • Google releases the Bard waitlist

  • NVIDIA gives an inspiring keynote

  • Adobe joins the generative AI shuffle

  • Microsoft connects Bing to DALL-E 2

THE BARD WAITLIST IS NOW OPEN AND ACCESSIBLE

Google made strides in the AI race yesterday when they announced that Bard now has a waitlist. They’re slowly granting access from there, but saying this is available to everyone would be a lie.

To fit the bill, you must be over 18 and in the US or UK. If you match that description, join the waitlist ASAP.

However, even if you get access, don’t expect it to match the performance of GPT-4. It appears that Bard faces more restrictions, and the creative processes differ in numerous ways.

In this instance, GPT-4 is the kid whose parents let him bring friends over anytime and hang out in the basement till two in the morning. Bard is the kid whose parents ensure everyone brushes their teeth at the sleepover and turn the lights out by ten.

Bard cannot code for you or retain a lot of context from your chats.

I know that sounds lame, but it can also bring updated information into chats, just like Bing does. It feels like talking to a completely different conversational AI, and that’s a good thing.

Let’s zoom out a little. Last week, Google was a loser.

GPT-4 stole the show, and everyone placed flowers on Alphabet’s tombstone.

This week, a circus of AI news crowded yet another Tuesday, but Google came out on top. They needed that W.

Get pumped. This news should feel like 1.21 gigawatts of electricity coursing through your flux capacitor.

If it doesn’t, that’s okay. There are plenty of other stories today to get you psyched.

NVIDIA WANTS AI INVOLVED IN EVERY INDUSTRY

Prompt: robots in a room doing different jobs Style: Children’s Book Cover

When NVIDIA’s CEO and founder, Jensen Huang, finished his GTC 2023 keynote, I was ready to run through a brick wall for him. The guy knows how to get you excited about AI’s future.

We’ll cover news from the 4-day conference as it rolls in, but that first hour was a haymaker.

NVIDIA announced partnerships with all the major cloud companies like Microsoft, Google, and Oracle to help expand AI development and collaboration across industries.

Plus, they announced new quantum machine efforts, new ways to accelerate medical advancements, and a ton of AI infrastructure moves.

The entire speech took over an hour. Do you have that kind of time? If so, here’s the link to it:

I recommend watching the opening 7 minutes. There’s a video about AI and today's work to innovate.

Low-key…I might’ve shed a tear. What can I say? It inspired me.

The more significant point to all this is Moore’s Law.

If you’re out of the loop, over the last 50 years, computer chips have been getting smaller, cheaper, better, and faster.

NVIDIA is leading the charge to continue that trend and sees that drive as a key unlock for AI development.

Huang and his team believe they're making significant improvements to computational power, which opens the door to more companies adopting AI tech.

In his words:

The warp drive engine is accelerated computing, and the energy source is AI
