OpenAI Applied to Trademark “GPT”

In December 2022, OpenAI submitted a trademark application for GPT. If you have a product or service related to AI or large language models that includes GPT in its name, you may want to consider changing the name before OpenAI potentially requires you to do so. While some companies register trademarks purely for defensive purposes and do not enforce them, others do.

OpenAI also recently released brand guidelines that specify how GPT should be referenced when naming or describing products. This suggests that they want to protect their brand and may not want other products to include GPT in their name.

Dr. Gupta, MD

Do you remember the pharmaceutical CEO, Martin Shkreli, who became infamous for raising the price of a drug and sparking widespread outrage? Well, due to some legal troubles, he was banned from working in the pharmaceutical industry. However, he has now re-emerged with a new venture - an AI-powered healthcare app called Dr. Gupta (GuPTa…which is a clever play on words).

Shkreli has done an impressive job of explaining why medical costs are so high in the United States and how an AI-powered "doctor" can help address this issue not only in the US, but also around the world. If you're interested, you can check out the app here and watch two YouTube videos below where he dives deeper into the topic.

AI Generated Baby Mute Mask

A new product called "Baby Mute" claims to silence babies during long flights and movie nights by using a mask to cover their mouths and noses and reduce the sound of their cries by 87%. A Canadian comedian, Brad Gosse, promoted the product on his Instagram, leading to widespread backlash from people who called out Gosse for promoting dangerous messaging. However, it turns out the whole thing was fake, and Gosse had orchestrated the stunt as a comedy sketch. Despite having a legitimate-looking website and endorsements from "doctors," the product was AI generated and never actually existed.

With advancements in AI technology, it's now possible to generate incredibly realistic photos and advertisements for non-existent products, so it's essential to be vigilant with your money and do your research before making any purchases.

Artist Grimes Offers Revenue Split for AI Songs

The musician and artist known as Grimes has made an interesting offer to the AI community. She has stated that she is willing to split 50% of the royalties on any successful song that uses her voice and is generated by AI. This offer applies to all artists who collaborate with her, and there are no penalties for using her voice. What makes this even more intriguing is that Grimes has no label or legal obligations, which means that the possibilities for experimentation with AI-generated music are wide open.

Grimes' offer to split royalties on AI-generated music that uses her voice is an intriguing proposition that could open up new possibilities for artists to earn from their name, image, and likeness. However, it's clear that she didn't think it through entirely, as evidenced by a follow-up clarification that she provided.
