Instagram Co-Founders' Latest Adventure: Artifact is like TikTok for text, a throwback to the good old days of social media where text was king.
Get ready for a blast from the past!
The co-founders of Instagram, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, are back with a new app called Artifact. This app is a personalized news feed that uses machine learning to show you articles based on your interests. Think of it as TikTok for text or like Google Reader was reborn as a mobile app, or maybe even a surprise attack on Twitter.
Artifact opens to a feed of popular articles from a curated list of publishers, ranging from The New York Times to small blogs about niche topics. If you tap on an article that interests you, Artifact will serve you similar posts and stories in the future. It’s like tuning TikTok's algorithm over time.
Artifact beta users are currently testing two more features that Systrom expects to become core pillars of the app. One is a feed showing articles posted by people you follow, similar to Twitter. The other is a direct message inbox, so you can chat with friends about articles you read privately.
So what's the deal with these two tech geniuses coming back now? Well, they've been waiting for the perfect storm of events. One, a big new wave in consumer tech they could hop on. Two, a way to connect that wave to social tech, which they still have a deep emotional investment in. And three, an idea for a product that solves a problem.
OpenAI, has come up with a brand new tool they called "classifier" that can detect AI-generated text. OpenAI has made it clear that this tool isn't perfect and shouldn't be relied on 100%.
how does this classifier work? You copy and paste a portion of text into a text box and press submit. The tool will then rate the text as 'very unlikely', 'unlikely', 'unclear if it is', 'possibly', or 'likely' AI-generated.
