OpenAI is Adding New Watermarks to Dall-E 3 🎨

You are surely familiar with DALL-E 3, OpenAI's image genius. Apparently, DALL-E 3 is sporting new attire, adding sophisticated watermarks to its image metadata. The addition of these watermarks is OpenAI's latest attempt to instill trust in the digital information it outputs. These enhancements are designed to work in perfect symbiosis with companies adopting standards driven by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity.

The new watermarks are not only aesthetic details; they also come with added functionalities. These will appear on images generated on the ChatGPT website and the API for DALL-E 3. This feature will be available for smartphone enthusiasts before February 12th. The watermarks contain an invisible component in metadata and a CR symbol that will be located in the top-left corner of each image. Worried about the authenticity of an image generated by OpenAI? No issue! You can check the image provenance by visiting platforms like "Content Credentials Verify".

💧*_DALL-E 3 may not take the best selfies, but its watermarks are undoubtedly professional-grade._*

The C2PA group, which includes tech giants such as Adobe and Microsoft, has been encouraging the use of the Content Credentials watermark to identify the provenance of content and clarify whether it was created by humans or AI. OpenAI is joining Adobe's efforts by adding the Content Credentials symbol to DALL-E 3's creations. Similarly, Meta recently announced that it will be tagging AI-generated content on its social media platforms.

All these moves are aligned with the Biden administration's main AI directive, which states the identification of AI-generated content. OpenAI acknowledges that watermarks are not a foolproof way of stopping misinformation, but it believes that adopting these methods will foster trust in digital information.

Bumble Introduces Deception Detector: An AI-Based Barrier 🛡️

Say goodbye forever to imposters in your matches! In honor of Safe Internet Day, Bumble is taking a strong stance in its commitment to authentic connections by launching Deception Detector™. Incredible, right? But wait, we'll tell you even more so you can truly appreciate the magnitude of this big step.

Built with cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deception Detector™ was created to eliminate unwanted intruders in your online dating experience: spammers, scammers, and the always bothersome fake profiles. And we're not just talking about identifying them, but about eradicating their presence even before they reach your match section. Since its implementation two months ago, reports of fake profiles, spam, and scams have decreased by an astonishing 45%. Now you can breathe easy while exploring your matches.

😍 With Deception Detector™, the only concern you'll have during online dating will be deciding what to wear.

The promising support offered to users by Deception Detector™ centers around its machine learning-based model, capable of quickly and reliably assessing the authenticity of profiles. According to Bumble's tests, 95% of identified spam or scam accounts were automatically blocked thanks to this knight in shining digital armor. Not to forget mentioning, the human ingenuity behind it all lends support when needed, demonstrating that a system failure is not another opportunity for fraud.

This launch represents a significant advance in the world of online dating, granting a new layer of security and authenticity to connections made through Bumble. Lidiane Jones, CEO of Bumble Inc., reveals that "Bumble Inc. was founded with the goal of building equitable relationships and empowering women to make the first move, and Deception Detector™ is our latest innovation as part of our ongoing commitment to our community to help ensure that the connections made on our apps are genuine."

Generative Video Race Heats Up in China 🏁

Tencent, the Chinese tech colossus, the same company behind the video game empire and the popular app WeChat, has posted the second version of its video generation model, DynamiCrafter, on GitHub. Sure, it's just another bite from big Chinese tech companies into the pie of the text-to-image and AI-generated video space.

DynamiCrafter, like its competitors, uses diffusion to transform static images and texts into micro-videos. This method, inspired by diffusion in physics, allows for more complex and realistic content to be generated from simpler data. DynamiCrafter goes one step further by applying image animation techniques to broader visual content and incorporating the image into the generative process to direct movement.

🚀 Tencent seems to be launching its own "Scientific TikTok"... without the dances or viral content!

The second generation of DynamiCrafter is capable of producing videos with a resolution of 640x1024 pixels, a step up from its previous version which only generated 320x512 pixel videos. "Traditional techniques" primarily focused on animating specific dynamics such as clouds, fluids, hair, or body movements. However, DynamiCrafter is designed to handle "more general visual content".

Time will tell how far this tool will go. Perhaps the day will come when AI can produce full movies, but for now, that remains in the realm of science fiction. Regardless of the current abilities of video generation tools, they are becoming increasingly central to the AI race, following the dizzying advance in AI-generated text and images. In China, this seems to be the case, with competition bringing about new developments and strategies. Alibaba, ByteDance, and Baidu are at the forefront, launching their own diffusion video generation models.

So, what does all of this mean? Well, we are on the cusp of what could be the next big breakthrough in generative technology. With giants like Tencent and Alibaba hot on each other's heels, we can expect to see even more innovations in the future. Prepare to marvel (or shudder!) at what AI can do with your photographs and text in a few years. Now, sit back and enjoy the show. Surprise us, Tencent.
