Amazon has released a direct challenge to ChatGPT with its own AI chatbot -- Q. The post ChatGPT�s New Competitor: Amazon Q appeared first on Robot Writers AI.
In an interesting �Me-Too� moment, Amazon has released a direct challenge to ChatGPT with its own AI chatbot � Q.
Designed for workplace use, the tool operates similarly to ChatGPT � enabling users to ask questions, auto-generate writing, brainstorm ideas and similar � by using everyday language in text form.
#adObserves writer Karen Weise: �Unlike ChatGPT and Bard, Amazon Q is not built on a specific AI model.
�Instead, it uses an Amazon platform known as Bedrock, which connects several AI systems together � including Amazon�s own Titan, as well as ones developed by Anthropic and Meta.�

*In-Depth Guide: ChatGPT Gets the Personal Touch: AI content specialist �Corrie Who Writes� has another great video tutorial out � this time on how to make a custom version of ChatGPT.
As usual, Corrie offers an enthusiastic, step-by-step and easy-to understand primer to customizing ChatGPT, using ChatGPT�s new �GPT Builder.�
One surprise: GPT Builder offers you the option to be really thorough as you develop your custom version of ChatGPT.
The reason: It�s trained to ask a number of probing questions as you customize the AI tool.
One the greatest strengths of GPT Builder, according to Corrie: Its ability to build a custom version of ChatGPT that can auto-interconnect � and work with � scores of software applications across the Web.
Says Corrie: �So you can give the GPT (the custom version of ChatGPT you build) access to your emails, to your calendar, or your Notion account � or really any number of tools � and have it take actions on your behalf.�
Another great strength of GPT Builder: It can be trained to ingest a large custom database that you upload � such as a number of articles, blog posts, papers and the like that you have authored � or have collated through personal research.
Observes Corrie on this spin-on-customization: �Instead of the bot tapping into its database of general knowledge, its tapping into the database of �you.'�
Bottom line: Corrie has a reputation for delivering extremely thoughtful, extremely inquisitive and extremely helpful video tutorials.
This one does not disappoint.

Their fear: OpenAI had developed advanced AI that could �threaten humanity,� according to a Reuters article.
The breakthrough: The new AI was able to solve math problems � albeit at the grade school level.
The development was considered greatly important by the researchers, given that the ability to do math problems � which have only one correct answer � represented a new frontier in the software�s AI ability.
Observes Reuters: �The sources (for the Reuters story) cited the letter as one factor among a longer list of grievances by the board leading to Altman�s firing � among which were concerns over commercializing advances before understanding the consequences.�

*Windows Copilot Goes Live: Microsoft�s desire to add ChatGPT-like features to Windows is a fait accompli.

�Copilot is accessible through a dedicated Copilot button in the taskbar � or by using the �Windows + C� shortcut.�
