The only thing that didn't sit well with a lot of people about the leaked memo is that it ignored the quality of GPT4 vs GPT3 and made claims that all LLMs were poised to be on par…

The video demonstration of the coding is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCo7YeTy-aE Most likely, just as happened with Stable Diffusion, a community of models will …

They need to take this and similar AI and come up with better dubbing for movies in other languages. Netflix should really lead the way here with the amount of dubbed content that …
