🤓 2 Big Stories About AI
A robot lawyer will fight 2 speeding tickets in court next month.
DoNotPay, the creators of “the first robot lawyer” announced that their AI will be entering the courtrooms to fight two speeding tickets next month.
The 🥩 of it:
This February, an AI-powered "robot lawyer" plans to fight two speeding tickets in court, marking the first time AI will be used in court.
The startup behind the project is DoNotPay, which bills itself as "the home of the world's first robot lawyer."
The company's mission is to "level the playing field and make legal information and self-help accessible to everyone," according to its website.
The AI-creation runs on a smartphone and listens to arguments being made in court, then tells the defendant how to respond through headphones.
Joshua Browder, CEO of DoNotPay, hopes that if the cases are successful, it will encourage more courts to change their rules.
If the AI-powered lawyer ends up losing the case, the company will cover the costs.
The company has previously used AI to help secure refunds for faulty in-flight wifi and dispute parking tickets.
Browder said the company has helped win over 2 million service disputes and court cases, but he doesn't expect to commercialize it just yet.
OpenAI creates waitlist for a paid version of ChatGPT
OpenAI announced in their Discord server that they may release a paid professional plan for their viral chatbot, ChatGPT. The announcement comes with the assurance that the paid plan, if released, would come with performance improvements like faster response times and an increase in message limits. They’ve opened up a waitlist for users to join if they’re interested, with the following note from their team:
“If you are selected, we’ll reach out to you to set up a payment process and a pilot. Please keep in mind that this is an early experimental program that is subject to change, and we are not making paid pro access generally available at this time.”
The 🥩 of it:
OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT, is experimenting with ways to monetize its software.
They have shared a waitlist for "ChatGPT Professional", an experimental paid version of the chatbot that offers fast responses and at least twice the daily number of answers compared to the free version.
OpenAI says that the goal is to continue improving and maintaining the service, and monetization is one way they are considering to ensure its long-term viability.
The company is also seeking $10 billion in funding from Microsoft, and reportedly that deal would see Microsoft collect 75% of OpenAI’s profits until Microsoft makes back its initial investment.
OpenAI already offers paid access to some of its software, like image generator DALL-E.
Monetizing ChatGPT would be a logical next, step as OpenAI is thought to be paying millions of dollars a month to keep the chatbot free to use.
OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman has tweeted that ChatGPT is "incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness" and that it struggles with "robustness and truthfulness"
Despite this, some companies are experimenting with integrating ChatGPT into their workflows, and Microsoft itself is reportedly using the AI to improve Bing and their suite of business tools.
If you’re already reliant (or addicted) to ChatGPT, it’s been a rough week for you. Hopefully, if they release a paid plan, it comes with its own server to prevent paid users from experiencing the same level of outages that we’ve seen this week.
