🤖 AI Use Cases: Upgrades and New Discoveries
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and surprise us with new use cases. This week, we saw upgrades to apps that already worked well, as well as some brand new ones that we never even considered possible. From a 16x upscaler to Google Maps receiving some much-needed upgrades, there's a lot to talk about. Let's dive into some of the most exciting AI use cases of the week.
Fix Key. A: A Better Autocorrect
As someone who struggles with typing on my phone, I was excited to learn about Fix Key. A. This app promises to be a better autocorrect, using the power of AI to suggest corrections in multiple languages. The first 15 fixes are free, and while it's not perfect, it's a step in the right direction for those of us who make a lot of mistakes while typing on our phones.
Magnific Doai: A 16x Upscaler
Magnific Doai got a fantastic update this week with a 16x upscale feature. While it is a paid tool, there is a free alternative called Upscale with an "y" that is open source and upscales images locally. Be careful with the 8 or 16x results, as they can be inconsistent, but overall, these tools can produce some impressive results.
Dream Talk: The Best Face Animator
Released by Alibaba, Dream Talk is probably the best face animator out there. While the demos are cherry-picked, the app uses AI to animate faces and can be used to create some impressive results. However, it does require some playing around to get the best results.
Jan. A: A Better Alternative to Llama
Jan. A is a better alternative to Llama, allowing you to run some of the large language models locally. It combines GPT-4 and 3.5 via API and some of the large language models that can be run locally like Llama or Mixol into one app. While some of the models have a minimum requirement, Jan. A is a great tool for those who want to experiment with large language models.
Google Maps: Using AI to Enhance Your Understanding of the Surroundings
Google Maps received a significant AI update this week, with two features that I personally enjoy. The first is Google Lens in Maps, which allows you to use the camera inside the app to understand your surroundings better. The second is the ability to search for specific words that have nothing to do with the city and find shops that offer them using AI image recognition features.
Perplexity Update: Image Uploading Features
Perplexity, an alternative to Chat GPT, specializes in research use cases. With the addition of image uploading features, it's even more powerful than before. If you're researching something, this is definitely worth a try.
Conclusion
AI continues to surprise us with new use cases and upgrades to existing apps. From a better autocorrect to a 16x upscaler, there's a lot to explore. While some of these tools require some playing around to get the best results, they're worth experimenting with. AI is changing the way we interact with technology, and it's exciting to see what the future holds.
