TOGETHER WITH
Good morning, human brains. Welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.
Here’s what’s on the menu today:
OpenAI acquires Global Illumination 👾🌎
More details on the deal.
New Adobe Express AI 🎨🔥
Express gets a new suite of AI features.
Snapchat AI’s spooky glitch 👻🫣
MyAI posted quite the unsettling Snapchat story.
APPETIZER
Open AI x Global Illumination 👾🌎
As of two days ago, OpenAI has acquired Global Illumination. It’s OpenAI’s first public acquisition.
The Global Illumination team built product and design for Riot Games, Pixar, YouTube, Instagram, and others.
More:
1/ Open AI says Global Illumination joined to work on ChatGPT and “core products.”
2/ Global Illumination’s site links to “Biomes,” an open-source twist on Minecraft.
Our take: it looks like a classic acqui-hire move on OpenAI’s part. It’s possible we’ll start to see a wave of AI acquisitions now that we’re in the swing of things. And is OpenAI looking to expand into games?
BUZZWORD OF THE DAY
Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is a generative AI tool by Adobe. It’s designed to enhance the creative process by allowing users to generate visual content, such as images, color variation, and text effects, using simple text prompts in over 100 languages.

MAIN COURSE
New Adobe Express AI 🎨🔥
Earlier this week, Adobe announced new generative AI updates for Express. These include new tools for design, video, animation, PDF support, and more.
After months in Beta, it’s public.
Better, faster, stronger:
1/ Adobe Express gets new generative AI abilities via Firefly integration.
2/ It can now generate custom images and text effects via prompts.
3/ It’s combined functionality from Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro into a single package.
Our take: we’re going to see more and more consolidation and integration moves from large software companies, just like this one. It’s possible we’ll see even more ecosystem silo-ing (think Apple or Microsoft) as the effort and friction to produce high quality work decreases.
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
Snapchat’s AI disturbs users 👻🫣
Snapchat’s AI chatbot glitched out on Tuesday, and not in the hot way. It posted a bizarre public story. Then it stopped responding altogether.
The surreal specifics:
1/ The bot posted the above clip of a ceiling and wall.
2/ It went offline and responded to users “Sorry, I encountered a technical issue 😳”
3/ Some users thought it was their own wall, and many users voiced their concerns about the potential ghost in the machine.
Our take: Snapchat’s “MY AI” didn’t receive the warmest reception when it launched in February. So how much is this glitch going to impact Snapchat’s popularity?
