Good morning, human brains. Welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.
Here’s what’s on the menu today:
Bing’s AI in Chrome and Safari? 🔎
Microsoft is testing Bing Chat in non-Microsoft browsers.

OpenAI dispatched its AI sniffer — silently.
AI-powered warehouses 🤖
SoftBank and Symbotic team up to create an AI-powerd warehouse-as-a-service.
APPETIZER
Bing AI for Chrome and Safari 🔎
Microsoft is testing its chatbot in non-Microsoft browsers. Initially, Bing Chat was only available in the Microsoft ecosystem e.g. Microsoft Edge & the Bing mobile app.
Wait, people actually use Edge?
But it’s not available to everyone yet. We couldn’t access it via Chrome or Safari.
The scoop:
1/ Microsoft indeed plans to move to other browsers.
2/ Bing Chat is powered by GPT-4.
3/ Dark mode also on the way.
4/ Reported issues: 5 message allotments and a 2000-character count.
Our take: It’s not surprising that Microsoft is looking to get Bing Chat into other browsers. For a while, it was a toss-up: they held, and still hold, several strong distribution cards in their hand. But it’s looking like it wasn’t enough to get the masses to switch browsers to Edge, just to take advantage of the new AI features.
By far the most useful thing about Bing Chat is the Visual Search feature. You can upload photos and ask questions about it. Having it built directly into the browser is clutch — when it works everywhere, that is.
BUZZWORD OF THE DAY
Watermarking
In AI, watermarking is a technique that can be used to embed a unique identifying pattern or information into a trained model.
Sometimes it’s done intentionally, as a way to prove ownership or authenticity. Most of the time, however, the AI watermark is an artifact of the model — a tell that the content is AI-generated.

MAIN COURSE

Get the bleach.
Source: OpenAI
OpenAI silently disabled its AI detection tool. And they did it quietly, too: they simply added a note to the original launch post.
We tried the link, just to be certain.
It’s dead, dead.
“As of July 20, 2023, the AI classifier is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy. We are working to incorporate feedback and are currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated.”
Our take: Good riddance. The thing claimed the US Declaration of Independence was AI-generated.
But why the secrecy? A perfect opportunity to build credibility and trust by publicly admitting their tool wasn’t up to snuff.
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
AI-powered warehouses 🤖🏢
Watch your 6, Bezos.
Softbank and Symbotic have teamed up to build AI warehouses. The joint venture’s called GreenBox Systems.
GreenBox will buy $7.5 billion of Symbotic’s AI systems in the next 6 years.
The juice:
1/ Greenbox operates on a warehouse-as-a-service model.
3/ SoftBank and Symbotic are investing $100 million to create GreenBox.
4/ Symbotic expects more than $500 million revenue annually from GreenBox.
Our take: After SoftBank’s epic $140 billion loss from AI investments, it’ll be interesting to see how this joint venture turns out. It can’t get much worse, can it?
