Happy Monday Big Brain fam!
It was another crazy weekend in social media land as Twitter continues to battle Threads.
Meanwhile, is the AI craze beginning to cool off? Read on to find out…
Today's AI spotlights:
ChatGPT saw its first-ever user decline in June 📉
Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta 👩⚖️

ChatGPT's stars are fading. After a dazzling uptick in popularity last year, traffic to the AI chatbot's site fell by 9.7% globally in June, marking its first user decline, according to Similarweb.
App tracker Sensor Tower also noticed a drop in downloads of ChatGPT's iOS client. This trend mirrors other tech titans like Microsoft Bing and Google Bard.
But don't expect OpenAI to sweat; CEO Sam Altman has openly discussed the "eye-watering" costs of operating the service.
Whether it's summer break for students or corporate data leak concerns, a little less traffic might be a welcome breather for OpenAI.
Looks like the AI-copyright battle is heating up...
Comedian Sarah Silverman along with authors Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey are suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright violations.
They allege these companies trained AI models on their works without permission.
Both ChatGPT and LLaMA are under fire for reportedly using 'shadow library' data, including the claimants' books.
This data supposedly lacks the original copyright info, which they claim infringes upon authors' rights.
Their suits point out six counts of copyright breaches and unfair competition, demanding damages and more.
As many know, much of AI-copyright law is still in untested waters. This means that the lawsuit itself may just the tip of the iceberg.
Instead, these suits may help to set precedent for many legal battles to come.
Google's Med-PaLM 2, a medical AI chatbot, is getting a workout at Mayo Clinic.
This AI baby is a smarter sibling of PaLM 2, specifically built to talk health stuff.
Google hopes it'll aid countries short on doctors, but it's still battling some accuracy hiccups.
On the bright side, it matches doc-level performance on reasoning, consensus-backed answers, and comprehension.
Another plus? Customers hold their data reins, keeping Google's prying eyes at bay (theoretically, at least).
Greg Corrado, Google bigwig, admits that it's early days for Med-PaLM2. That being said, he sees it bringing a 10x expansion in AI's healthcare benefits.
