🗃️ OpenAI introduces custom GPTs and  GPT Store

At the beginning of November, OpenAI introduced GPTs, a new feature allowing users to create custom versions of ChatGPT for specific tasks or interests.

These GPTs require no coding skills and can be shared with others. This innovation is available for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users, with examples like Canva and Zapier AI Actions.

The GPT Store, which launched later this month, features user-created GPTs that can earn money based on usage. OpenAI emphasizes privacy and safety in GPTs, ensuring user data control and introducing systems to review GPTs against usage policies. Additionally, developers can integrate GPTs with the real world through custom actions and APIs. For businesses, GPTs offer tailored solutions for internal use 🧠

🗣️ Google DeepMind and YouTube introduce their most advanced music generator LYRIA

📏 YouTube takes a clear stance on AI content on its platform

YouTube is integrating generative AI into its platform, focusing on balancing creativity with community safety. They plan to update viewers when they're viewing synthetic content and require creators to disclose AI-altered or synthetic material. This includes labeling content and applying stricter labels for sensitive topics. Non-disclosure may lead to content removal or penalties.

YouTube will also allow requests for removal of AI-generated content that simulates identifiable individuals or their voices, with certain considerations like parody or public figures. They're also enabling music partners to request removal of AI-generated music mimicking an artist's voice 🗣️

 🕹️ TikTok adds AR effects creation flow for its users

TikTok has globally launched a mobile effect editor, enabling creators to design AR effects directly within the app. This tool simplifies effect creation, allowing users of any skill level to become effect creators without needing advanced software. Using templates and objects from TikTok's AR database, users can't create entirely new effects but can build interactive experiences using existing AR tools 😎

This development is particularly notable considering Snapchat's recent downsizing of its AR departments. While Snapchat seems to be scaling back its AR efforts, TikTok is actively expanding its AR features, democratizing the creation process and potentially opening doors for more advanced, paid AR options.
