Part human, part AI bot himself, Mr Elon Musk has finally announced the AI bot developed by xAI to rival chatbots like ChatGPT. Welcome to the universe, the fantastically named… Grok!

After the week of meeting Rishi Sunak and re-iterating Elons growing fears of unregulated AI resulting in human catastrophe, Musk has now announced his rival AI bot.

What’s the difference so far? Well, Grok is said to be witty with answers, sometimes rebellious and answer the ‘spicy’ questions that ChatGPT won’t. Ooo la la, Fifty Shades of Grok perhaps.

X Premium (formally Twitter blue) users who pay the subscription of $16 a month will soon be able to test the beta version of Grok. One major difference will be the data that Grok the LLM will scrape from X. We’re sure it’s getting it’s information from a reliable source. Gulp!

For the record Grok is a name of an alien from a 1961 science-fiction novel, ‘Stranger in Stranger Land’. Maybe Elon is trying to tell us something? 👽️ 

Online design giants Canva, have incorporated OpenAI into all areas of the company to save time and improve their products. But not just any old ChatGPT, but ChatGPT Enterprise.

Canvas new AI generator - Developed by ChatGPT Enterprise.

If you’ve used Canva in the last year you’ll have seen constant AI updates to the design space. In August this year, Open AI invited Canva to be one of the companies to test the new ChatGPT Enterprise.

After just two months of using ChatGPT Entreprise, Canva employees from every department had announced significant improvements to the speed of their work. These included writing code, frontend developments and even creating AI using AI.

Canva, PLC, Zapier and EstĂŠe Lauder may be the first big companies to pave the way for others to follow the Enterprise suit.

Who is going to keep us safe before total AI domination? Well cyber security will look a whole lot different.

As companies look to install AI Cyber Security here is Darktrace.

Darktrace uses AI to detect company patterns and detect cyber security problems before they begin. Even those pesky phishing emails.

Take a look at the Darktrace AI introduction video here.

We pay to keep our cars and house safe, why don’t we always pay to keep cyber safe? Stay safe out there.

ICYMI (In case you missed it for those not ‘down with the kids’), many startup companies have been developing businesses off the back of a ChatGPT wrapper.

What is a ChatGPT wrapper? In the most simplest of terms, you build an application, it sends information to ChatGPT, which takes something called the API, and then sends it back to your application, and then to the consumer. It’s much more complicated than that, but you get the gist.

In the most recent ‘downfall’ of ChatGPT wrappers startups, OpenAI took out a number of PDF reader companies in one fail swoop, by adding a PDF reader function to ChatGPT.

Previously, companies had built functions for AI to read your PDF’s and summarise them with all of it’s information. These were proving to be quite lucrative as a 100+ page PDF document could be analysed in a matter of seconds.

But now… OpenAI has implemented that idea into ChatGPT and PDF.AI is no longer required.

Why is this significant? Well, as many start ups race to become the latest million pound acquired businesses by some lucrative VC's, OpenAI could ‘take them out’ on any given day.

Are you working on a business start up or know someone that is? Be careful of the red flags and warning signs of API wrapped innovation. ⭕️
