Welcome, humans.

Today, we're diving into how AI could totally revamp Siri, or as we love to call it, Sir-what-did-you-say?!

Here’s what you need to know about AI today:

• Apple's latest AI research might enable Siri to "see" your screen.

• Perplexity is exploring ad placements in search results.

• ChatGPT is now accessible to everyone, no account needed.

• We share THE BEST ChatGPT resource out there.

Apple's research nudges us toward a 'God-like' Siri.

Apple dropped some fresh AI research yesterday, dubbed ReALM: Reference Resolution As Language Modeling.

Uhhh, talk about jargon city!

In layman’s terms, ReALM could help an AI assistant like Siri see what’s on your phone screen—like the app you're in, the text on the screen, etc.—to better assist you.

Here's what this would look like in action:

Why it matters: Apple has been teasing this sort of “hands-free” AI assistant for a while, and we might just see some significant Siri updates at Apple’s upcoming developer conference in June.

While we wait, this news got us thinking about other potential uses for ReALM tech:

• Retailers could use ReALM-like systems to guide users to relevant products based on what they are currently viewing.

• In customer support, ReALM could enable bots to walk users through on-screen instructions, like navigating an app.

• For accessibility, ReALM's ability to translate screen content to plain text could help visually impaired users navigate apps and websites.

Tuesday Ticker.

Here are the results from last week’s poll:

• H.G. chose Awesome 🚀: “I think it will allow artists who lack the funding to create ideas and bring them to life. Especially when created in conjunction with human generated speech.”

• S.H. chose Awesome 🚀: “I am still awaiting longer movies and I am curious if the quality is maintained when telling full stories.”

• A.G. chose Boo 👎: “We are not there, yet.”
