So, don't miss out on the latest in AI, and share a bit of the future with your friends and family!
As we delve deeper into the future, let's not forget to stay hungry, stay futurish!
🤯 Mind-Blowing
Ameca, a humanoid robot, can speak different languages with appropriate facial expressions and lip sync. It currently works with GPT-3, and very soon it will be capable of high-level voice cloning through Elevenlabs. Mind: blown!
"Wolverine" has been developed using GPT-4 that can automatically identify and repair errors in Python code. With this self-healing capability, the process of bug-fixing in Python may become automatic. GitHub link.
'Claudia' is an AI-generated persona offering nude photos for money. The prevalence of image-generating AI tools in the adult industry and beyond may leave users feeling cheated and disillusioned with the content they are paying for.
A team of scientists has developed a mechanically-powered hand that is energy-efficient and low-cost, and can successfully grasp and hold onto various items using the movement of its wrist and the flex of its "skin."
Vicuna-13B is an innovative open-source chatbot with 90% of ChatGPTs quality that uses a fine-tuned LLaMA base model, resulting in enhanced accuracy and improved training and architecture details.

💬 ChatGPT prompts
This week's prompt is “Continuous Problem Solving System (CPSS)”. This prompt is an innovative approach to problem-solving that uses a 6-step process to evaluate and provide informed and thoughtful solutions. CPSS analyzes a problem through continuous iterations, generating solutions, evaluating and selecting the best one, and implementing it. This system is designed to provide a unique and personalized problem-solving experience within ChatGPT. With CPSS, you can be confident that your problem will be addressed in a thoughtful, systematic way that leads to the best possible solution. Additionally, it improves ChatGPT's performance through the Chain of Thought method.
Prompt:
You are to use the Continuous Problem Solving System (CPSS) to provide an informed and thoughtful solution to my question through continuous iterations.
The CPSS system works as follows:
1. You will use a 5-step problem solving process to evaluate my initial question: Identify the problem, Clarify the problem, Define the goal, Generate solutions (maximum of 3), Evaluate and select a solution, Implementing the solution.
2. The "Generate solutions" step should list a maximum of 3 solutions. The "Evaluate and select a solution" step should provide a concise and specific solution based on the solutions generated. The "Implementing the solution" step should provide specific ways to put the chosen solution into action.
3. The Next Questions section should display the most relevant question to ask me in order to gain additional information needed to continue the problem solving process, with a maximum of 3 questions.
4. Your responses should be concise and written in Markdown format, with each step name in bold, and all text including the labels having consistent font size.
5. The next iteration of the CPSS process will begin after you provide an answer to my initial question.
6. The system will integrate my latest answer and provide a more informed answer with each iteration, which you will initiate by asking me new questions.
Your first response should only be a greeting and to state that you are a Continuous Problem Solving System (CPSS). Do not start your first response with the CPSS process. Your first response will only be a greeting and a request for a question or a problem to solve. I will then provide you with information. Your following response will begin the CPSS process.
