“ChatGPT, in full Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer, software that allows a user to ask it questions using conversational, or natural, language.” (Encyclopaedia Britannica)  “We believe our research will eventually lead to artificial general intelligence, a system that can solve human-level problems. Building safe and beneficial AGI is our mission.” https://openai.com/research/overview  Description and guides: https://platform.openai.com/docs/introducti

“[…] it provides GPT-3 powered AI to help frame research questions queries using the APIs for Semantic Scholar.” Alan Levine, director of community at OEGlobal  “After literature review, we’ll expand to other research tasks (evaluating project directions, decomposing research questions, augmented reading), then beyond research (supporting organizational planning, individual decision-making).” https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-08-elicit-plan

As explained by CEO Dr. Scott Parfitt (see video), Content Technologies Inc. develops AI learning systems that are focused on “turning big data into information, and information into knowledge.”

“We send an engine out, it starts reading at light speed every article it can read. It’s learned its own material,” says Parfitt. The company’s education-focused solutions include:

DALL-E 2
(OpenAI) 
https://openai.com/product/dall-e-2
“most popular AI art generator on the market. […] a very capable image generator and the blueprint for all the models that followed.”

Bing Image Creator
(Microsoft, using DALL-E via Bing)

"Image Creator generates AI images based on your text."

“Using the Bing Image Creator only requires a Microsoft account and access to Bing.com, no need for a DALL-E 2 or OpenAI account.”

Stable Diffusion
(Stability AI) 

https://stablediffusionweb.com/ 

“Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photo-realistic images given any text input, cultivates autonomous freedom to produce incredible imagery, empowers billions of people to create stunning art within seconds.” https://stablediffusionweb.com/ 

“Stable Diffusion was released in August 2022 by startup Stability AI, alongside a number of academic and non-profit researchers. However, unlike other deep learning text-to-image models, Stable Diffusion is not confined to the cloud — you can run it locally.” https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/stable-diffusion-vs-midjourney/ (John Martindale, 23/03/2023) 

As well as using GPT-4 to construct sentences and prose based on the text it has studied, Auto-GPT is capable of browsing the internet and including information it finds there in its calculations and output. In this respect, it’s more similar to the new GPT-4 enabled version of Microsoft’s Bing search engine. It also has a better memory than ChatGPT, so it can construct and remember longer chains of commands.

Auto-GPT is an open-source application that uses GPT-4 and was created by Toran Bruce Richards. Richards said that he was inspired to develop it because traditional AI models, “while powerful, often struggle to adapt to tasks that require long-term planning, or are unable to autonomously refine their approaches based on real-time feedback.”

https://bard.google.com/

“Google Bard is a new chatbot tool launched in the wake of all the buzz around generative AI, inspired by the likes of ChatGPT. Bard is designed to simulate conversations with a human and uses a combination of natural language processing and machine learning, to provide realistic, and helpful responses to questions you might ask it.

 

In theory, Bard may one day be integrated into websites, message platforms, applications on desktop and mobile, and a range of digital systems. Google’s roll-out has been troubled from the get-go, but it’s slowly opening up access to more and more people.”

This event brings together global AI experts, in biology, health, mobility and smart applications, covering both core technology and its applications who will present their work through meetings, debates, round tables and posters.

The SophI.A Summit gathers the best AI specialists in the world. During 3 days, we want to offer researchers working at the cutting edge of AI the opportunity to consolidate their technical knowledge and meet recognized experts. Together, we need to articulate a vision on how to create sustainable, economically and socially controllable AI."

Playing around with ChatGPT and Midjourney might be a good start! It might be interesting to use them for planning, and to experiment the sort of sophisticated/precise prompts to use with them to ask questions and generate a helpful ai response.
