Meet Your AI Twin: Freelancers' New Reality

Advertise with us

This week's tech tales read like a choose-your-own-adventure book where every path leads to AI. From Microsoft teaching games to practically design themselves (talk about playing God in the gaming world!), to Kindle Scribe finally sharing its AI goodies with the rest of the English-speaking world (sorry, everyone else, you'll have to wait your turn at the digital buffet).

Meanwhile, in the legal arena, tech giants and creators are playing a high-stakes game of intellectual property Twister, with copyright laws bending in ways that would make a yoga instructor jealous.

In this week's lineup:

• 🤖 Fiverr Go: Teaching AI your tricks (but keeping your secret sauce)

• 🎮 Microsoft's Muse: Where AI meets game dev in a creative tango

• 📚 Kindle Scribe goes global with its AI smarts

Fiverr's New AI Tool: Freelancers, Meet Your Digital Doppelgängers

Fiverr's latest feature, Fiverr Go, lets freelancers train AI models using their own work. Clients can then purchase access to these custom models, blending AI speed with professional expertise. Freelancers maintain control over their creative process and rights, setting prices for their models across services like voiceovers, songwriting, and graphic design. However, Fiverr cautions that AI outputs might not be unique, and clients will own the rights to the content they generate. Additionally, Fiverr Go offers an AI-powered assistant to handle client inquiries, trained on previous interactions. Initially, only top, vetted freelancers will have access to ensure quality adoption.

Microsoft's Muse: AI-Powered Game Development Takes Center Stage

Microsoft has unveiled Muse, a groundbreaking AI model developed in collaboration with Ninja Theory, designed to generate game visuals and actions. This innovation aims to streamline game development, addressing rising costs and economic uncertainties impacting new game releases. Fatima Kardar, Microsoft's corporate vice president for gaming AI, highlighted that Muse is already being utilized to create real-time playable AI models trained on existing first-party games. This development signifies a significant shift towards AI-enhanced game creation, potentially benefiting both developers and players by introducing more dynamic and responsive gaming experiences.

Kindle Scribe's AI Features Finally Go Global

Amazon's Kindle Scribe just got a significant upgrade. Initially, AI-powered tools like note summarization and handwriting recognition were exclusive to U.S. users. Now, with firmware update 5.17.3, these features are rolling out to both 2022 and 2024 Scribe models in the UK, Canada, and Australia. Users can now tap a star icon in their notebooks to access 'Summarize' and 'Refine writing' options. Additionally, a new Side Panel Margin feature allows for flexible note-taking alongside eBooks, enhancing the reading and writing experience.

AI and Copyright: Legal Labyrinths Favor Tech Giants

The ongoing legal battles over AI's use of copyrighted material have created a complex maze that seems to benefit tech vendors more than creators. While artists and writers file lawsuits to protect their work from unauthorized AI training, the ambiguity in current laws often leaves them at a disadvantage. This legal uncertainty allows tech companies to continue their practices, often without proper compensation to original creators. As these disputes drag on, it's the vendors who profit, while artists navigate a convoluted legal landscape in search of justice.
