Siri for iOS 18 to gain massive AI upgrade
Apple is poised to enhance several standard system components with significant AI-related upgrades, starting with Safari, Spotlight Search, and Siri. These enhancements, part of iOS 18, will focus on practical benefits for users while prioritizing on-device AI to preserve privacy.
Features such as text summarization, document analysis, and AI-enhanced search options will directly benefit users. Safari 18 will introduce article summarization, allowing users to generate brief summaries of webpages, while Siri will integrate more closely with Messages, offering simplified message analysis and responses.
Apple’s on-device AI, called Ajax, can generate basic responses without cloud-based processing and is adept at text analysis and summarization, potentially giving Apple an edge in privacy protection. While more advanced AI features may require cloud connectivity, Apple’s emphasis on on-device processing for basic tasks aligns with its commitment to privacy.
Meta introduces new AI features for advertisers, expanding its generative AI offerings
Meta Platforms (META) unveiled new AI features for advertisers, including instant creation of ad copy and images based on original content. These tools, initially announced in October 2023, aim to boost ad revenue. Meta plans to expand features like analyzing past campaigns and rolling out globally by 2024.
The company also aims to extend its Meta Verified service to more countries, targeting small businesses seeking credibility and engagement. Meta's increased investment in AI aligns with trends among tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, despite initial market concerns.
Apple unveils ‘outrageously powerful chip for AI’ in latest iPads
Apple has introduced new iPads featuring a powerful chip designed for artificial intelligence (AI) tasks, emphasizing its commitment to AI services.
The "M4" chip, launched for the latest iPad Pro devices, is heralded as a significant advancement in AI capabilities over previous models. This move aligns with a trend among tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, who are unveiling new processors focused on AI.
The explosion of AI applications, particularly large language models like ChatGPT, has intensified the demand for powerful processors. Apple's custom chips, already used in iPhones and Macs, are now being upgraded to incorporate advanced AI capabilities, potentially bringing cloud-based AI features directly to users' devices.
The M4 chip boasts improved power efficiency and memory bandwidth, enhancing its performance in data-intensive AI applications.
Apple's emphasis on AI capabilities signals its intention to compete with rivals like Microsoft and Google in the AI space.
AI Tutorial: How to improve your Midjourney prompts
Options that are added to a prompt as parameters alter how an image generates. The Aspect Ratios of an image, the Midjourney Model Versions, the Upscaler being utilized, and many other things can all be changed via parameters.
Parameters are always added to the end of a prompt. You can add multiple parameters to each prompt.
/imagine prompt: musician looking at his laptop excitedly --aspect 2:3 --stop 95 --add birds
You can incorporate images into prompts to modify the layout, style, and color scheme of a task. This flexibility allows you to use text prompts, image prompts, or a combination of both.
To begin with an image prompt, simply input or paste the image's URL after the /imagine Discord command. Ensure that the URL ends with a .png, .gif, or .jpg extension for it to function properly. If you want to include additional text or parameters to refine the prompt, make sure to do so after entering the image URL. For instance:
/imagine prompt: http://imageURL1.png description of what to imagine --parameter1 --parameter2
Follow these tips to maximize your results:
- Be Concise: Keep prompts specific and under 40 words for best results.
- Use Descriptive Language: Add detail with adjectives and adverbs.
- Avoid Ambiguity: Use clear, direct language to describe your desired image.
- Experiment: Adjust prompts and settings to see different outputs.
- Use Prompt Generators: Utilize tools designed for writing Midjourney prompts.
- Try the Creative Tag: Add "--creative" to prompt more unconventional outputs.
- Add Weights to Prompts: Separate terms with double colons to adjust importance.
- Use Negative Prompts: Exclude unwanted elements with negative keywords.
- Consider Private Mode: Subscribe to access private mode for clearer focus.
- Modify Settings: Use "/settings" to adjust prompt settings conveniently.
With these tips, you can enhance your Midjourney experience and create stunning images. Good luck!
