OpenAI connects ChatGPT to Canva to make visual creation more easy

🧐News - OpenAI has released a Canva plugin for its chatbot ChatGPT, which aims to make it easier for businesses and entrepreneurs to create visuals such as logos, banners, and social media graphics.

At present, it is only available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay a monthly fee of $20. However, OpenAI intends to make the plugin available to all the users in the future.

🤔How to use the plugin though? To access the feature, users can open ChatGPT and select the "Canva" option from the plugin store. After the plugin is installed, they can describe the visual they want to create in the prompt. ChatGPT will then generate a list of options from which the user can choose. The user can even edit the visual in Canva and download it directly.

🤖 What does it signify? The launch of the Canva plugin is a significant development for OpenAI. It is the latest in a series of moves by the company to make its technology more accessible to businesses and individuals.

OpenAI believes that the plugin will help enterprises to create high-quality visuals more efficiently, which could lead to increased brand awareness and engagement.

Experts say Artificial Intelligence could replace referees in 30 years

🏌🏼‍♂️News - An expert in the field of sports analytics believes that artificial intelligence could replace human referees within the next 30 years.

Aldo Comi, chief executive of leading global football analytics provider Soccerment, said that computer vision technology is becoming more effective and the number of cameras on the pitch is increasing. This means that there is more high-quality data available, which could be used to train AI models to make refereeing decisions.

🤸🏼But who would be the first to go? Comi said that the first to go could be the linesmen, as they are the ones who are most often seen making mistakes.

However, he added that there are still some challenges that need to be overcome before AI referees can be implemented, such as the need for the technology to be able to handle complex situations and the need for the public to accept it.

Well, the use of data analytics is already having a major impact on the world of sports. Teams are using data to improve their recruitment, scouting, and training methods. In the future, AI could play an even greater role in sports, from helping referees make decisions to providing coaches with insights into how to improve their teams.

🔥Prompt engineering tips

• Refine length - The length of your prompt could play a vital role in a chatbot's response. The prompt needs to be effective and to the point. It is also very important to strike a balance between brevity and providing enough context. Think of it this way - too many ingredients can overpower a dish, while too few might leave it lacking.

• Ask for comparisons - When crafting prompts for any chatbot, ask the model to compare different aspects of a topic such as similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses, benefits and drawbacks. This approach helps get detailed insights.

• Multi-question prompts - In order to get a well-explained answer, pose multiple interconnected questions within a single prompt. For example, you can say "You mentioned that the cat was chasing the mouse. What happened next? Was cat successful?" Being interconnected, these questions help the model talk about different parts of the topic in a well-organized and detailed way.
