Podcast Transcript

Jordan Wilson [00:00:17]:
The United States may finally be taking AI in education seriously. Adobe is teaming up with an unlikely group on its AI platform, its competitors. Perplexity is going after Siri seems like a hard pivot, and we have some new updates on open AI's rumored open model. A lot going on in the world of AI news as it is every single week. And if you missed it and if you're wondering what happened, how was this gonna impact my company and my career, you're in the right place. What's going on y'all? My name is Jordan Wilson, and I'm the host of Everyday AI.

So no matter what you're trying to learn in the world of AI, we have it for you there. Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:01:55]:
Also, before we get started on our AI newsweekly wrap wrap up, quick, reminder or I guess an announcement. Tomorrow's show, we're gonna be going over Google's AI studio, five time consuming tasks you didn't know you could automate. Yeah. I think a lot of people have been sleeping on Google's AI studio. I use it every day, and I'm like, I should just probably share with everyone the types of things I'm doing in AI studio. It'll probably really help people. So hey. Let me know if that sounds good.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:23]:
Live stream audience. Good to see you. Rolando joining from South Florida. Bet the weather there is fantastic. YouTube crew going hard today. Richard, big bogey. Douglas joining on the YouTube machine today. Kyle, Michelle, Sandra, Keith, Arvin, everyone else.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:39]:
Can't get to everyone. Thank you for tuning in. Yeah. Maybe you listen on the podcast now and then. You can always hang out on the live stream. We do it on on on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, 07:30AM Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Come hang out. Ask questions of our guests.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:55]:
Today, it's just me keeping you up to date with the AI news. So enough chitchat. Let's get into the AI news that matters for the week of April 28. Alright. OpenAI has introduced a new lightweight version of its deep research tool and has expanded access to free users. So OpenAI is rolling out a new lightweight version of its deep research mode for ChatGPT, making this powerful tool more accessible for free users while managing operational cost. So the new lightweight deep research mode is now available to all ChatGPT users, including free accounts. If you are on a free account and you're only can use five queries a month, which isn't a ton, so you gotta make them count.

Jordan Wilson [00:03:47]:
But paid users, which includes, ChatGPD plus, Teams, enterprise, and education, receive 25 deep research queries monthly, while pro users on that $200 a month plan get 250 queries a month with the advanced version, still available but capped before switching to the lightweight mode. So, yeah, on the pay plans, you do get the full version, kind of the full weight version. And then once you hit that cap, you are switched over to the lightweight version, which is what the free users, are using by default. So the new lightweight version uses OpenAI's o four mini model, not the o3 full model, which the, kind of full version of Chad GPT uses. If you don't follow models, that might be super confusing. You're like, wait. The paid more powerful version is o3, but the lightweight version is o four mini. Yes.

Jordan Wilson [00:04:48]:
So, it's run by o four mini, not even o four mini high. So, yeah, kind of the, in terms of power, for the thinking models. Right? Depending on where you wanna put o one, on this. But I would say it's, o four then or sorry. O four mini, o four mini high, then o3, and depending on what you think of o one pro, you know, that might fall, somewhere, you know, first or second. So, OpenAI's goal is to reduce the heavy resource load caused by complex deep research queries, which require the model to analyze articles, papers, and extensive data to provide thorough answers. So this rollout begins immediately for free users with enterprise and education users gaining access shortly thereafter. So despite research tools like this are becoming common, among AI chatbots with alternatives such as Google's, Gemini 2.5 pro deep research, which is really, really good, much better than their previous version.

Jordan Wilson [00:05:52]:
And perplexity has a deep research. Grack has a deep and deeper search, whatever they wanna call it. So, you know, I I I wouldn't say the tools are a dime a dozen now, but I would still say at least for right now, it is OpenAI and Google, that are kind of the, premier, versions of these deep research tools. You know, I'm I'm curious, livestream audience. What do you all use, to do your deep research? Right? I I I previously did a deep research comparison, but this was on Google's old version. So I do think OpenAI's and Google's are kind of in a league of their own. And I think this is one like, if you haven't used a deep research tool, right, I'd like some people are like, okay. How do I get started with generative AI? If you are brand new, I still think this is one of the best places to start.

Jordan Wilson [00:06:43]:
And I might have to do an updated episode since, Google, released, or updated their deep research tool with Gemini 2.5 pro. It might be time to do an, you know, maybe I don't know. Maybe sometime in May, we'll do that update. So livestream audience, let me know if you wanna see that. Alright. Speaking of Google, so Google is facing a potential breakup as the Department of Justice pushes, to force the sale of Google's Chrome browser. So Google was declared a mon, monopoly in The US search engine market by a federal judge, leasing leading to a new phase where the Department of Justice is seeking remedies to break up its dominance with a focus on how this could reshape Internet access for users worldwide. But it actually has to do with AI, and you'll see why in a second.

Jordan Wilson [00:07:35]:
But the DOJ's top proposal is forcing Google to sell off Chrome, which currently holds about 66% of the global web browser market, arguing that Chrome's integration with Google search unfairly reinforces Google's monopoly. OpenAI has publicly expressed interest in buying Chrome if it is put up for sale, raising questions about whether shifting ownership to another tech giant would effectively address competition concerns. Other DOJ proposals include requiring Google to share some user data with competitors to promote competition, ending Google's exclusive default search engine deals like Google's twenty dollar, $20,000,000,000 per year contract with Apple and unbundling Google and apps from Android devices to give users more choice. Google obviously strongly opposes, these suggestions by the DOJ claiming they would harm consumers hinting innovation, particularly in AI, and weaken The US tech sector's global standing. The company argues users choose its services voluntarily and that forced changes would disrupt security and privacy protections tied to Chrome and its open source Chromium platform. You know what? I agree with Google here. Google, like, let's just say you're anti Google for whatever reason. Google has their Chrome browser.

Jordan Wilson [00:09:05]:
They have an open sourced version of it called Chromium. So that's actually what Microsoft Edge uses. They use the same technology. Right? So I don't necessarily agree with what the federal government is doing here trying to break up, you you know, I know that they're saying Google has a monopoly on search, but I don't know if this is the way to do it forcing them to sell off, the, you know, Google Chrome to a potential competitor because okay. Then what happens if one of their biggest competitors, takes over Chrome? Then are they just aren't they just going to be in essentially the exact same position that Google is in? Right? You sell it to OpenAI, which is actually leading, in the AI chatbot market, and it's not particularly close. So then wouldn't that give OpenAI an unfair advantage? Probably. So according to Google's court documents, right now, their Google Gemini AI chatbot has 350,000,000 monthly, users. Well, ChatGPT has reached almost double that with 600,000,000 monthly users.

Jordan Wilson [00:10:09]:
Although CEO Sam Altman hinted, ChatGPT's weekly users might be as high as 1,000,000,000. That's crazy. So it should be interesting to see, what happens here, with, with this Google case in front of the Department of Justice. Speaking of Google's competitors, one of them in Microsoft, has definitely updated its Copilot platform, I would say, in a big way. So Microsoft has launched its Microsoft three sixty five Copilot wave two spring updates, introducing some new AI features aimed at helping professionals work smarter and faster. So we have covered a couple of them so far, in the newsletter and on this very show, but this is kind of like the official bundling of all of these announcements we've seen over the past couple of weeks and some new ones. So you have the research and analyst AI agents that are now available through a new agent store. So, yeah, Microsoft has a new agent store, which enables advanced research and data analysis with open AI models and partner integrations like Jira and, Myro.

Jordan Wilson [00:11:26]:
The skill discovery agent helps managers build skill based teams and assist employees in finding colleagues with needed expertise and proving collaboration, which about time. Right? About time that we get AI that helps humans find and relate to other humans. Right? So it's good to see that element of AI, something that actually encourages and improves human to human. Right? Because we always think of AI as kind of like, okay. Well, now we're I'm just gonna be chatting with a bot more and not my coworkers. So, that is pretty cool to see from Microsoft. Also, there's a new create feature, that uses g p t four o to generate brand compliant AI images for presentations and social media. Also Copilot Notebooks lets users combine spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and notes into a searchable workspace that can be accessed via chat, streamlining project workflows.

Jordan Wilson [00:12:30]:
Also, Copilot search supports conversational queries across Microsoft three sixty five apps in third party tools like Slack and Google Drive, though it doesn't search the web in real time. Also, you have, memory now in Microsoft three sixty five Copilot that allows Copilot to remember user info more for personalized responses as well as some new IT admin access. Alright. So we actually have, more on some new announcements from Microsoft here later in the show. All right. More big tech Titans with some actually surprising news this time from Adobe. So Adobe has expanded its Firefly AI system with support for its competitors' models with OpenAI and Google support. So app, Adobe announced it will add AI image generation models from OpenAI, Google, and others to its Firefly app while also launching a mobile version.

Jordan Wilson [00:13:42]:
So Firefly users can now generate AI images using OpenAI's, g t GPT Image Gen, Google's Imagine three, as well as Google's video product, b o two, and also Flux 1.1 pro models along with Adobe's updated in house Firefly models. So Adobe plans to bring in additional third party models from companies like Pika, Ideogram, Luma, and Runway, that's a big one over the coming months. So content created with third party models can be moved into Adobe's other applications such as Photoshop using a shared credit system for payment. Adobe did not disclose, however, how revenue from third party model usage will be split between itself and these providers. So the company highlights that some users rely solely on Adobe's own Firefly models for legal safety safety in commercial projects, while others want to experiment with a broader range of AI tools. So, Adobe's stock jumped up pretty sharply 2% shortly after this announcement indicating there's some strong market interest in Adobe expanding its AI platform access. So, yeah, this one wasn't necessarily expecting this. We heard that Adobe, would be adding some of these, you know, video models such as Runway, Pika Labs, etcetera, which I kind of understood.

Jordan Wilson [00:15:18]:
I did not expect them to integrate, with Google and OpenAI. So good on them, because I actually said this on the show a couple of weeks ago. I said between everything that you can now do inside Google AI Studio, which we're gonna be talking about tomorrow, that's one of those five things that you didn't know Google AI Studio could do, is is how it's essentially like a built in Photoshop, and it's absolutely crazy. So between Google's, kind of AI image generation capabilities and open AIs and even Canvas, which we're gonna cover soon in the coming weeks. I'm like, I don't wanna be Adobe. Right? I don't want to be. But pretty interesting move here. Kind of Adobe acknowledging, the power and popularity of some of their competitors' model.

Jordan Wilson [00:16:02]:
So instead of trying to go, you you know, kind of blow for blow here, what they're doing is saying, okay. Come on in, and use these models inside of our platform. So the monetization piece will be interesting. Right? How is Adobe going to monetize off of people using the Google and OpenAI models? I'm sure we'll see reporting, on that in the coming weeks. Alright, y'all. We have our newest case of AI gone bad. Alright? And this one, the reason I'm including it in the AI news, number one, it's it's a cautionary tale for everyone else, but I do think this is going to become, the new kind of story of, you you know, when you're not using AI responsibly. Right? Because we we had we we kinda had that, that early one, from 2023 that a lawyer, submitted some, ChatGPT, hallucinations essentially in a, in a, courtroom and got sanctioned, thereafter.

Jordan Wilson [00:17:08]:
And now the same thing has happened, but probably at a much more visible, case. So, Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, is now facing some legal, problems amid some AI generated court filings. So Mike Lindell, the prominent and kind of infamous CEO of MyPillow, is embroiled in legal trouble after his attorneys submitted a court brief containing nearly 30 fabricated legal citations generated by AI, prompting a federal judge to consider disciplinary action against the lawyers. So Lindell's attorney admitted to drafting the brief manually, but then using AI to finalize it, resulting in false legal references that could undermine the integrity of the case and the legal profession. You know? I don't know, but I'm guessing his lawyer was probably using the free version of Chad GPT and probably didn't necessarily know how to use it. Because if you're using, as an example, deep research or the o3, model and you're doing at least minimum human in the loop, you're not gonna get 30 fabricated legal citations. It is still wild to me that we are seeing these stories, but this is probably gonna become, the next big one. We've been talking about this, this this one that happened in New York in 2023 for now more than two years, and I think this is probably gonna be the the new one that we're gonna be talking about for, years to come.

Jordan Wilson [00:18:43]:
So US District Judge Nina Wang has given Lindell's lawyers until May 5 to explain why they should not face sanctions or lose their licenses, highlighting the risk of relying on AI with proper verification in legal work. Also unrelated, but kind of related, MyPillow's business has sharply declined since Lindell aggressively promoted election fraud, conspiracy theories following the twenty twenty US presidential election, reportedly losing a hundred million dollars in revenue after being dropped by just about every single major retailer. So the fabricated citations undermine the validity of Lindell's legal defense, potentially damaging his case and raising broader concerns about the ethical use of AI tools in law. Good. Hey. Great comment here. This is why I love having, live stream and having smart people on the show. Lisa on YouTube says, I'm a lawyer and have the paid version of Chatt GPT.

Jordan Wilson [00:19:47]:
It still gets the law wrong. It sounds great, but lacks nuance and is technically incorrect a lot of the time still. Alright. That's a a good point. Yeah. And and Marie say, Gessler and Lendell's lawyer should have taken your PPP course before submitting their brief. Absolutely. It wouldn't have happened.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:04]:
Right? When people properly know how to use a right? Because everyone just wants to one shot AI systems. Right? You you know, they wanna lazily work their way in, you you know, put in one prompt, try to get, like, you know, 10 pages of documents. If you know what you're doing, then that's a big if. Right? But if you know what you're doing, it is large language models. Let me just say this. Large language models rarely hallucinate. If number one, you know what you're doing, and you have a knowledgeable, human in the loop who's using the right model at the right time for the right purposes and is going through a basic prompt engineering process. Hallucinations, if I'm being honest, I use large language models depending on the day anywhere from I don't know.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:48]:
It varies five to twelve hours sometimes. I probably have a point zero five hallucination rate. Very, very rare because I know what I'm doing, but most people don't, and they're just looking for a quick shortcut. So, yeah, another cautionary tale now that we'll probably be talking about for a while. Alright. This one might sound kind of dorky in on the back end, and why are we talking about an API? But it's gonna change, I think, creative work. So OpenAI has launched their API access for their prop, popular ChatGPT image generation model. So OpenAI has made its advanced image generation technology, which was previously only available inside its ChatGPT platform, accessible to developers through its API.

Jordan Wilson [00:21:36]:
This move comes after the tool's viral success in massive user engagement with over a 30,000,000 users creating more than 700,000,000 images in just the first week. So the image generation feature is powered by a multimodal AI model called GPT image one. I wish they name this differently. You know, like CEO Sam Altman said, you know, he put out something on Twitter about this, and he said image gen is available. And I I read it as imagine, as in Google's imagine, you you know, photo, and I was like, wait. What what happened here? We gotta name these things better. Calling it GPT image one and image gen, not the best way to, refer to the models. Just saying.

Jordan Wilson [00:22:25]:
But it is capable of producing images in multiple style styles following detailed instructions and rendering text within images. Developers can generate multiple images simultaneously and adjust the quality and speed of generation offering flexibility based on application needs. OpenAI has implemented the same safety measures in the API as in ChatGPT, including content moderation options that can be set to auto or low sensitivity, allowing developers some control over filtering strictness. Images AI images created with GPT image one include c two p a metadata watermarks to help identify them as AI generated. I don't know y'all. I'm feeling spicy. Should we do, probably couldn't do this for a couple of weeks, but should we do a show where we build, essentially an app on this OpenAI, ImageGen model? I'd I'd like I never know if that's too dorky. Right? Might have to use, you know, cursor or windsurf or something like that, but, I think this is truly going to be, like, you know, how we had this, like, chat g b t moment? I it's not gonna be as big as that.

Jordan Wilson [00:23:44]:
Right? But this is gonna be one of the biggest, steps forward for for creativity that no one is gonna notice. Right? Because when a company releases an API, for the most part, it doesn't impact the everyday business leader. But y'all, I'm telling you now, there are going to be thousands in the coming months. Thousands of new apps probably aimed at your at your business, at your vertical that's gonna help you create, more engaging and better images. And as we've already seen from all the, you know and I'm not talking that that the viral, like, Ghibli style or, you know, make me a Barbie right action figure. Like, I'm not talking about that. I am talking about incredibly accurate visuals, creating infographics, creating realistic photos with text adherence. Like, it is really, really good.

Jordan Wilson [00:24:44]:
All right. Couple, couple people said, yeah, we should do that. McDonald's said, yes. Joe said, I would really love to see API image generation because I will use it. Derek just says, why not? Alright. Maybe maybe we will. You know? Because I've I've I've also always thought about, okay. Should we do, like, a show on Cursor or Wind Surf or something like that? And so maybe it'll be a two or three part series, and we'll tackle, you know, maybe, you know, coding, inside, you know, Chad GBT and Gemini, and then we'll, you know, tackle, Cursor in Windsurf, and then we'll do, you know, creating an app or something like that.

Jordan Wilson [00:25:21]:
So I don't know. Either we'll do it, you know, as a live show or maybe when and if, we finally launch the community that's technically been ready for a year and a half, maybe we'll do it inside of the community. So we'll see. Alright. Next piece of AI news. US president Trump has signed an executive order to expand AI education in The US. So president Trump has signed an executive order to boost AI education across The US by launching a national initiative focused on preparing students for careers in AI, one of the fastest growing technology fields. So the order establishes the White House task force on AI education chaired by the director of the office of science and technology policy and including senior officials from energy, agriculture, education, labor, and a special adviser on AI and cryptocurrency.

Jordan Wilson [00:26:17]:
So the initiative aims to provide early AI training in schools to help students develop the skills and confidence needed for the AI assisted workforce. Despite these goals, though, the in the administration has not yet clarified how we will implement the plan, especially following significant cuts to the Department of Education budget earlier this year. Right? Yeah. So it's like, oh, yeah. We're gonna do all these things through the US Department of Education, but it's like, wait. Their budget is, like, essentially zero. And, infamously, the head of the US Department of Education, repeatedly called AI, artificial intelligence, in a hearing a one, like the steak sauce over and over. So I don't know.

Jordan Wilson [00:27:00]:
Like, on on on one side, I'm like, this is great. Right? Yes. We absolutely, you you know, need AI literacy in schools. But at the other hand, I'm like, okay. It sounds like a plan right now, and they're like, oh, the US Department of Education is gonna carry this out. But their budget has been absolutely thrashed. And I don't know. At least me personally, after listening to that hearing, where the head of the US Department of Education continually called AI a one, like the steak sauce.

Jordan Wilson [00:27:29]:
I don't know. I'm I'm not super confident. Although, I am hopeful because we need this. So, the task force will lead a presidential AI challenge designed to showcase achievements by students and educators, encouraging widespread AI adoption and promotes collaboration across government, academia, philanthropy, philanthropy, philanthropy, philanthropy, I can't speak today, and industry to solve national challenges using AI. The executive order also directs the secretary of education to prioritize AI in teacher training grants and instructs the National Science Foundation to focus research efforts on AI education. So let me just say this. Finally, finally, this is a much needed first step to officially, push AI education in the school system. If I'm being honest, this should have been done at least one or two years ago.

Jordan Wilson [00:28:27]:
So, you you have to tip your hats, to the Trump administration for, pushing this initiative forward. How and if it actually gets, carried out, we'll see. Because, I mean, like we've been talking about on this show, the US government has been straight up slashed, in terms of just the amount of humans working there, the amount of resources. Right? We've seen all these reports, that Elon Musk's, Doge department is, you know, essentially trying to replace workers with AI, using AI apparently to spy, on people to see if they're talking badly about the administration. So, I'm hopeful that this will work because The US education system, let me say this right now, is in huge trouble. It is in huge trouble because we've essentially been ignoring, artificial intelligence for years, pretending it doesn't exist, banning it, in classrooms across The US when we should have been doing exactly this all along. A national effort to push AI literacy k through 12. Love it.

Jordan Wilson [00:29:29]:
I hope it happens, and we'll obviously, we'll obviously be talking about this, as we keep going. Yes. A lot of a lot of people saying, yeah. Like, Derek says, absolutely need it. You know, Joe said the biggest issue with world leaders mandating education is lack of ethical government, governance. Yeah. You can say that just about any government, worldwide, but especially here, in the in the UI. So Kyle says I have been doing this kind of work for almost a year a year and a half in Mississippi, and I'm working on a partnership with an AI edge comp an AI education company to expand that.

Jordan Wilson [00:30:07]:
Love to see it. James here joining us from the Twitter machine says AI moves too fast for school classrooms. Kids should have free access to online school. Yeah. That's a great point. Right? Yeah. How are you gonna develop curriculum? You you know, anything. Right? And this isn't a political statement.

Jordan Wilson [00:30:23]:
This is going back to for, I don't know, for forever. The government's slow. AI is fast. So educating, right, pushing AI education into classrooms is extremely difficult. Right? I know, I I don't even know if I've talked about this. Maybe I have. I started as an instructor, as as an instructor, at DePaul teaching generative AI. I update my syllabus multiple times a week.

Jordan Wilson [00:30:51]:
Right? Because I want, you know, it's it's it's mid career professionals taking this. It's not undergrad, so it's people, you know, in the middle of their career. But I want them to have the most up to date information. Like, literally, a couple of minutes before I start my course, I go through and update it because there's things even if I finished, you know, kind of my my my my presentation or my course material, you know, the afternoon before, there's already things that have changed. Right? So as an example, you know, our students are gonna be, using deep research, tools. And, hey. Last week, I'm like, hey. Right now, you don't have access to this if you're on the free chat ChatGPT plan, and, well, now that's already changed.

Jordan Wilson [00:31:29]:
So it will be, interesting to see how they update to the curriculum, but getting something is much better than nothing. Alright. Like I talked about earlier, more Microsoft news. So Microsoft has finally, for real for real this time, launched their recall feature at least for those with Copilot plus PCs. So Microsoft is now rolling out its controversial recall, a feature that essentially screenshots almost everything users do on Copilot plus PCs after nearly a year of delays and security improvements. This launch comes alongside some other AI upgrades to Windows search in a new click to do function. So recall was initially planned to launch with Copilot plus PCs in June of last year, but was delayed due to security concerns raised by researchers. So Microsoft spent ten months enhancing recall security, making it an opt in feature, whereas previously, it was previewed as an opt out.

Jordan Wilson [00:32:32]:
So you were, instantly opted in. That set off everyone's alarm. So now it is an explicit opt in feature with encrypted data storage and default filtering of sensitive information. So, security expert that was quoted, in one of these articles, Kevin Beaumont, who was the first one to flag recalls security risk, recently tested the final version and reportedly acknowledged that Microsoft's serious efforts to secure it have paid off, though some filtering glitches remain. So recall allows users to search their PC by, all these snapshots of all of their activity, helping find vague memories of content without needing, exact file names improving over traditional search. This is literally the reason I bought I bought a Microsoft, plus PC. Now I can finally set it up, like, five months after I bought it because I've been waiting for this feature. I don't care.

Jordan Wilson [00:33:30]:
Right? I'm not big on data, security. Right? When I work with clients, I walk them through it. But I tell people, like, any information that you have, that is publicly available online, it's already in large language models. Right? It's it's funny sometimes. I'm I've I've I've consulted, you know, companies, that, you you know, are publicly traded. And they're like, oh, I don't wanna put this information online. I'm like, yo. It's on your 10 k.

Jordan Wilson [00:33:53]:
It's already in these large language models. Right? It's on offline models. Right? So, a lot of times, companies don't understand everything they put on the Internet is already in large language models. Yes. There's obviously hoards of confidential sensitive information you may not want to, you know, have recall screenshotting, but that is why it is opt in now. And it has, some some new additional features, to not collect some of that more sensitive information. The feature does as well require a four digit PIN via Windows Hello for access despite Microsoft's claim that biometric sign in would be mandatory, so that could still be coming. Also, alongside recall, Windows search now supports natural language queries on Copilot plus PCs.

Jordan Wilson [00:34:40]:
That's amazing. Apple's search is absolutely hot flaming garbage. Right? I hate Apple search. I can't find anything on my computer. Like, it's like you literally have to have the exact same file name for it to ever come up. So I love now that you can just search, with natural language. Right? So you could say and I did when I was at, Microsoft's conference back in November. I saw some live demos of this, and I talked to the team that was building it.

Jordan Wilson [00:35:07]:
So as an example, let's say you have a huge PDF, and there's a picture of a tree on the inside. And you're like, oh, what is that PDF? I don't remember what it was called. I don't even remember the title of it, but I remember there's this big picture of a tree on the inside. You can literally type in tree, and it's gonna pop up. That is what kind of semantic search is. Extremely powerful for productivity. Right? I think that this is, a small thing. You know, everyone's talking about recall because it was controversial, but I love the new, or at least the, idea and the concept of this new natural language query on Copilot plus PCs.

Jordan Wilson [00:35:42]:
Also, there is the new click to do feature, which is activated by a Windows key plus a left mouse click, which offers quick actions like summarizing text or removing objects from images on screen. Very cool. Right? So that's essentially bringing in, some of the best, kind of time savers from different large language models that you can just do. Right? If you have something open, you can click it and instantly summarize it. Right? You don't have to have a a Chrome extension. You don't have to have a a desktop, you know, AI system running. It's all just built in on this Edge AI if you have a Copilot Plus PC. Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:36:23]:
Our LinkedIn user said, truth, Apple hate Apple search. It's so bad. Why is it so so bad? Why is Apple so far behind? Fred says, Jordan, it's time to take the dust off your new Windows PC. Oh, man. My wife is always like, are you gonna set this up now? And I'm always like, yes. Yes. I absolutely am. And then I don't know.

Jordan Wilson [00:36:46]:
Something big happens in AI, and I'm like, alright. Well, now I gotta spend eight hours, you know, testing out this new o3 or testing out this new Gemini 2.5. So if the AI news world went like a full week without these huge, announcements, I would have time to set properly, set up my new win Windows Copilot plus PC. Alright. This, someone is saying, please share please share it when you set it up. I wanna see a live demo. Alright. I'll see I'll I'll I'll I'll see Microsoft if we can, you you know, set, get get something special set up for you guys.

Jordan Wilson [00:37:16]:
Alright? Alright. Our next piece of AI news. What's so strange is I called this months before it happened. So Perplexity AI has launched a voice assistant on iOS, and they are straight up going after Siri. Speaking of Apple doing a bad job on AI, Perplexity, hard pivot coming for them. So Perplexity has launched a new update to their iOS that features a new voice assistant, available now on iOS, and it offers features that even currently Siri struggles with, such as creating calendar events, reminders, playing music, and holding natural conversations. So unlike Siri, which has delayed its kind of, quote, unquote, smarter Siri until potentially the end of next year or even into 2027. Perplexity's voice assistant integrates directly with Apple's default apps like calendars, reminders, mail, and contacts, allowing it to perform tasks like drafting emails and adding calendar events more reliably.

Jordan Wilson [00:38:30]:
So Perplexity's assistance can maintain context in conversations without needing frequent follow-up questions, unlike Siri, providing concise responses and prompting users for further inquiries. The voice mode in perplexity runs in the background, allowing users to switch apps without interrupting the conversation and offers customizable settings such as muting the microphone, disabling transcripts, and changing the assistant's voice. Perplexity also supports web based actions by preparing tasks like booking restaurants, restaurant tables, or opening Uber with a destination prefilled, though it still requires users to manually complete the final steps themselves. Features that Siri aims to offer but won't until minimum next year. One thing that does work pretty consistently, perplexity can launch and play music both from Apple Music and YouTube videos quickly, although it has current limitations, such as difficulty sending text messages even with contact access. So it says it can't. So let me just say this. It sounds great.

Jordan Wilson [00:39:40]:
Right? Like, oh my gosh. We finally have a smart Siri. Doesn't work. At least not consistently. Right? So let me tackle this in two parts. I did call this just saying. I called this back in, our, 2025 AI roadmap and prediction series. I said, perplexity is either going to get squashed or they're gonna have to hard pivot.

Jordan Wilson [00:40:06]:
And I would say, if perplexity can get this right, this is their hard pivot. And I'm rooting for them. I've been extremely critical of perplexity over the last, I don't know, nine months because they have a hallucination problem. It's pretty bad. Right? And their biggest USP is gone. Right? Their biggest, kind of advantage, a a a year ago, eighteen months ago, was was the ability to, kind of quickly go out and, you know, go over 20 websites and to give you a somewhat accurate, you you know, bullet point or summarization of a certain topic. It's not good anymore. It's not.

Jordan Wilson [00:40:46]:
It's not even a top three at that exact task. So let me say that again. A year ago, perplexity was on the top in terms of being able to do this deep research. Right? So number one, they technically created this category that now everyone else is blazing, but they're not they don't have a top three product in that same category that they essentially helped create. So like I said, you have OpenAI and Google, in the top two spots. We'll see which one is actually ahead. Then I actually think you have grok. Right? And as problematic grok can be, I still think it is better than perplexity.

Jordan Wilson [00:41:22]:
So I've been saying all along, perplexity is gonna get their lunch money taken from them in this category that they helped create. So they have to pivot hard or they're going to get crushed. So I said they had to pivot. I said they had to innovate. So here we see it, and I love it. I love this move by perplexity. And like I said, I've been pretty harsh on perplexity because I think they've lost sight of what made them originally special and originally unique because of a loose hallucinations have been taking over their platform. And I think, like I said, they've they've been beat to the punch by this whole deep research thing.

Jordan Wilson [00:41:58]:
But no one likes Apple's AI because it's not even there. Siri's not smart, so I'm rooting for them. I hope this works. But I tried it for, when it first came out, I tried it for five or ten minutes. I had it work once where it would check my calendar, and then it drafted an email. Like, oh, you know, hey. What's on my calendar? I said, oh, you have a meeting at 1PM with Bill. And I'm like, okay.

Jordan Wilson [00:42:20]:
Email Bill and say I have to push the meeting back. And it did that. It did it once. Guess what? I've tried it five times since, and it hasn't worked. So, you know, sometimes it'll be like, oh, I can't access your calendar. And then you do it three more times then it can't. Right? Then you're like, okay. You know, send an email to this person.

Jordan Wilson [00:42:35]:
You know? That's that's that's all the calendar, invite. And then they're like, oh, I don't have their contact information. It's like, yeah. You definitely do. And then I go through it. I manually check my phone. I'm like, yes. It's there.

Jordan Wilson [00:42:44]:
So it's inconsistent, but it's extremely promising. So I'm rooting, for perplexity, to improve this. And I did reach out to the perplexity team at least on social media, with some feedback. It seems like they took it in stride. So, hopefully, they'll improve it. Alright. Our last piece of AI news, OpenAI's rumored open model may be coming in June. So OpenAI could release its first, yeah, quote, unquote, open, language model since GPT two.

Jordan Wilson [00:43:18]:
Right? Yeah. Targeting an early summer launch. So according to reports from TechCrunch, OpenAI is developing a new open reasoning language model. That's another big piece that we hadn't had confirmed yet. So it will be a reasoner model, and it could come in early summer aiming to compete with other open models, such as Meta's, llama, and deep seek by topping benchmark tests. So the model, however, will be text in and text out, so not multimodal by default, and designed to run on high end consumer hardware with an option for developers to toggle its reasoning ability on or off similar to recent models from Anthropic. OpenAI plans to use a highly permissive license with minimal restrictions on usage and commercialization, avoiding criticisms faced by models like Meta's llama and Google's Gemma and, DeepSeek. Yeah.

Jordan Wilson [00:44:22]:
So DeepSeek and llama are not true open source. People don't understand that. And it doesn't look like this model from OpenAI will be either, but it could be open weights. So a big difference. So, Meta's llama models, which are probably the most popular open esque models, have already reportedly amassed over a billion downloads. Right? And I read about this. I read about the official report, and then I also saw some discussion on Twitter that said, okay. This has to be an error, you know, because other people were sharing, hey.

Jordan Wilson [00:44:56]:
I have a model, you know, that that I forked, and it says it has way more downloads than it actually does. But if you do look at Meta's, you you know, public stats, it does say, more than a billion downloads. So we'll see. This could be extremely popular. CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged that OpenAI needs a new open source strategy to compete with the deep seeks, Google's, Microsoft is is creating some some open models. Meta has been a leader as well. But OpenAI, the open, quote, unquote, the, kind of, AI lab hasn't released anything remotely open since the ChatGPT craze. So since GPT two and even that model, when they released it, it was very, very slimmed down from what it was originally announced.

Jordan Wilson [00:45:45]:
So, like I said, CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged that OpenAI needs a new open source strategy and plans, thorough safety testing and red teaming of the new model before its release, including publishing a detailed model card and benchmarking and safety results. So if successful, OpenAI may follow with additional models, including smaller versions, potentially broadening access for developers and companies. Regardless, the rest of the world wins. Right? When the leader and it's not even close. It's not even close. OpenAI is the leader, in users. Right? Because aside from what we told you, right, that came out through that Google lawsuit, so Google is making a a heavy push, to acquire, more users. So right now, reportedly, according to their core documents, 350,000,000 monthly users.

Jordan Wilson [00:46:43]:
Where right now, Chad GVT is, at 600,000,000 monthly. And there's been rumors that there are even more, for, 600 bill or sorry, 1,000,000,000 weekly users. Whereas right now, Chachibuty has 600,000,000 monthly. So, yeah, the rumors are saying OpenAI since their new, ImageGen that their stats are actually way higher. So, we'll see. In the end, if OpenAI does release an open source model, it changes not just all open source AI, but it also changes proprietary AI as well. Because what happens then is, you know, the the labs that are building closed source models can essentially learn from what OpenAI is doing in their open even if it is just an open weights model. Right? You can essentially learn, and kind of mimic and emulate what all these other labs are doing.

Jordan Wilson [00:47:43]:
So, you know, that's why, you know, everything from, DeepSeek to Microsoft to Google to Meta, right, releasing very impressive, open models. It actually helps proprietaries, and it helps the whole system, move forward. So, Kunal asked, bro, alright, bro. Let me tell you. He says, bro, what do you think about chatbots capability after five years and ten years? Oh my gosh. Kunal, great question. I have no clue. I have no clue.

Jordan Wilson [00:48:19]:
Right? What we're getting right now specifically with o3, and if you didn't, watch our o3 episode, make sure you go do it. So that was episodes, five zero nine and five ten. What we have now with o3 is agentic. It's a % agentic. There's still some hallucination problems. You like, you actually get like, the more agentic, in in multi tiered these models get, the more that you have to really keep an eye on them, because there's there's been some pretty wild hallucination problems, I would say, so far with o3. Whereas I wasn't getting them, as easily, with four o. So it does require a little bit more prompt engineering.

Jordan Wilson [00:49:00]:
But where we're gonna be with AI chatbots in five to ten years? I don't know. Right? I do know that. I don't think we're gonna be typing to them. Right? I see them being, on physical devices. Right? I think whatever company, whether it's Meta, Google, or or, you know, OpenAI is reportedly working on hardware. I I do see it being in in glasses, you know, in our phones. Right? I think finally, that technology I think that, you know, you could say if if if the most powerful model, whether you wanna say Google Gemini 2.5 pro, o o3 from OpenAI, we're gonna have models way more powerful than that on edge. Right? On our offline devices, we'll be able to download those models.

Jordan Wilson [00:49:42]:
So what we're able to do, is I I I I don't even know. Scary. I'll say that. Alright. So that's it for our AI news. But let me know which of these should we cover more this week. So like I said, we do have our show, tomorrow, so make sure you tune in for Google's AI studio. Five time consuming tasks you didn't know you could automate.

Jordan Wilson [00:50:09]:
That's gonna be a fun one. I'm gonna show you, some ways that I'm using Google's AI Studio every day. Let me just say, I feel like I'm stealing when I use Google's AI Studio because the long context window is extremely powerful, extremely flexible. If you haven't used Google AI Studio before, I suggest you tune in. Alright. But let's very quickly recap the AI news that matters for April 28. So, OpenAI introduced a lightweight deep research model, including access for free users and upping limits for paid users. Google has faced some a potential breakup as the US Department of Justice pushes pushes to force the sale of the Chrome browser, which is really gonna impact the AI industry.

Jordan Wilson [00:50:54]:
Microsoft has enhanced, their Microsoft three sixty five copilot with powerful AI features in their wave two spring release. Adobe Firefly has expanded, its Firefly AI system with support for competitors, namely OpenAI and Google's image and video models. The MyPillow CEO is facing some legal trouble after his lawyer, reportedly submitted more than 30 fabricated legal citations to a judge. Ouch. OpenAI has launched API access for its popular ChatGPT image generation model, which I think is gonna completely change the future of creative work. US president Trump has signed an executive order to expand AI education with a new national initiative and task force. Really hope that that changes the education scene here in The US. Microsoft has launched their recall feature finally after almost a year of delay for Copilot plus PCs after an extensive security overhaul.

Jordan Wilson [00:52:00]:
Perplexity with a hard pivot going after Siri with its new AI voice assistant on iOS on Apple devices in the App Store. And then last but not least, some new updates on OpenAI set to release its first open language model since GPT two targeting in early summer launch according to reports. Alright.
