Hugging Face just unleashed its open source alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT, cheekily called HuggingChat. Developed by Open Assistant, these guys aim to create the "assistant of the future." But don't get too excited, as this AI can still derail quickly depending on the questions asked. Despite some bizarre answers, HuggingChat won't indulge in dangerous or blatantly toxic prompts, which is a relief. With its entry, HuggingChat joins the growing family of open source alternatives to ChatGPT, stirring up debates about their potential use for malicious purposes. But hey, at least the open source push isn't losing steam!

ChatGPT courses are the latest side hustle, and instructors are raking in thousands teaching this futuristic skill. Lance Junck's "ChatGPT Masterclass: A Complete ChatGPT Guide for Beginners" has already generated over $52,000 in revenue with 23,000 students. Platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, and Coursera are flooded with ChatGPT courses, taught by self-taught instructors who have found creative ways to integrate the AI into their work. Despite being a learning curve, ChatGPT is becoming increasingly popular, and these instructors don't see the demand slowing down. After all, who wouldn't want a leg up on their competition and supercharge productivity?

AI Spam Invasion: the internet is under siege, thanks to our lovable AI language models like ChatGPT and GPT-4! With their newfound hobby of generating spammy content, Amazon user reviews and Twitter bot accounts are swimming in a sea of quality AI-generated text. Featuring hit phrases like "as an AI language model" and "I cannot generate inappropriate content", these models have become meme-worthy. But don't worry, only the low-effort spam lacks quality control; we can surely expect even more sophisticated spam in the future. With no easy solution in sight, we can't help but wonder, is it too late to ask for a refund on our shiny AI pals?

Poor website owners! They're getting overwhelmed by traffic, thanks to Romain Beaumont's AI scraping tool, img2dataset. This free tool on GitHub downloads and resizes images from websites for AI image generators like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. But here's the catch: website owners have to actively opt out with https headers to avoid being scraped. Terence Eden, whose site was "hammered," asked Beaumont to make the tool opt-in, but Beaumont called that idea "unethical". He believes that the rise of AI is unstoppable and offers many opportunities. Meanwhile, Eden and others feel their consent is being ignored, and they're stuck playing Whac-a-Mole with intrusive bots.
