Abhay Parasnis, the former chief technology officer of Adobe, wants to use AI powered by OpenAI, Stable Diffusion and computer vision models to help companies churn out branded content. His startup Typeface, which he launched in June 2022, has now raised $65 million in Series A financing to continue building out its generative AI platform for marketing and communication content such as blog posts, Instagram posts, websites and job postings on LinkedIn.

One of the challenges businesses face, Parasnis says, is that the skills needed for marketing can take years to acquire, which can make finding the right people challenging.

Typeface is a platform trained on ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion models that can generate personalized blogs, Instagram posts and websites for companies.

He also said that the current cost of inference is too high and that Chat GBT is too often busy. He thought that there were opportunities to build AI systems trained and focused on particular uses, which would lead to smaller models and they would be more practical. He thought we are 1–2 years away from useful products, particularly in business intelligence. He also said that the use of AI allows us to program with data rather than lots of lines of code. Google was hesitant to produce something like Chat GBT, they didn’t want the system to say wrong or toxic things. He said that the tech industry needs to be more careful to encourage a civil society and that many tools, such as the Internet, were not anticipated to be used to do evil things.

Over half of the studied companies in the United States have deployed OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot, according to a recent study.

And nearly half of these businesses disclosed that ChatGPT had already replaced a number of their employees, claimed the survey done by Resumebuilder.com, involving 1,000 business leaders.

This new technology is still in its early stages in the workplace, “workers need to surely be thinking of how it may affect the responsibilities of their current job,” said Stacie Haller, Chief Career Advisor at Resumebuilder.com.

Was given test for Singapore students and failed.

The publication compared ChatGPT with students who have taken the PSLE in the past three years using questions from the latest collection of past year papers that are available in bookstores.

ChatGPT received a mere 16 out of 100 points for three math papers, 21 points for the science papers, and 11 out of 20 for the English papers.

Few recent advances in technology have elicited as much interest as generative artificial intelligence. Media outlets around the world have provided awe-inspiring snapshots of what it can do for us. Our services alliance with OpenAI brings clarity to the expanding array of its potential business applications, combining OpenAI’s technology with our deep understanding of business strategy and social responsibility.

Generative AI uses sophisticated machine learning models to produce entirely original content such as images, text, and more. Beyond a compelling novelty, platforms such as ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Codex offer tangible benefits across industries and business functions—hyperefficient content creation, highly personalized marketing, more streamlined customer service operations, to name just a few. Advances in neural networks have pushed generative AI to an inflection point, giving early adopters a golden opportunity to make their mark. But while the technology has gained traction, many companies have faced challenges with integration.

We can help separate the hype from the real-world application, bringing experience across the value chain and a deep understanding of our clients’ industries. Equipped with deep expertise in AI technologies, our Advanced Analytics practice doesn’t only advise but also delivers solutions. We pinpoint the generative AI use cases that will create the most value, rapidly deploy a proof of concept, then implement the capabilities across your operating model, businesses processes, and data assets.
