From what I understood, the case against OpenAI wasn't about the summarisation. It was the fact that the AI was trained on copyrighted work. In case of Wikipedia, the assumption is that someone purchased the book, read it, and then summarised it.

Combining vector and raster editors makes some amount of sense since the raster editor had some vector capabilities anyway, but yeah, tossing in layout/desktop publishing feels kind of weird. It's a bit like combining a microwave oven and a blender.
No, I used to work in a newspaper and we were switching between text editing, graphic design and image processing tools for our work. This makes a lot of sense! That said, most magazines and newspapers have designated people to focus on each of these and the chances of one person having to shift between all three is a little narrow.

A test cricket match can last for up to five days and is the longest format of the game, with each team having two innings. Each day consists of about 90 overs and typically lasts for 6-7 hours, including lunch and tea breaks.
And then it can still end in a draw

I'm deaf. Something close to standard Canadian English is my native language. Most native English speakers claim my speech is unmarked but I think they're being polite; it's slightly marked as unusual and some with a good ear can easily tell it's because of hearing loss.
Using the accent guesser, I have a Swedish accent. Danish and Australian English follow as a close tie.
It's not just the AI. Non-native speakers of English often think I have a foreign accent, too. Often they guess at English or Australian. Like I must have been born there and moved here when I was younger, right? I've also been asked if I was Scandinavian.
Interestingly I've noticed that native speakers never make this mistake. They sometimes recognize that I have a speech impediment but there's something about how I talk that is recognized with confidence as a native accent. That leads me to the (probably obvious) inference that whatever it is that non-native speakers use to judge accent and competency, it is different from what native speakers use. I'm guessing in my case, phrase-length tone contour. (Which I can sort of hear, and presumably reproduce well, even if I have trouble with the consonants.)
AI also really has trouble with transcribing my speech. I noticed that as early as the '90s with early speech recognition software. It was completely unusable. Even now AI transcription has much more trouble with me than with most people. Yet aside from a habit of sometimes mumbling, I'm told I speak quite clearly, by humans.
Hearing different things, as it were.
To judge local or not, I would consider use of phrases and word as well, and not just the accent. Perhaps, that's what is working for you?
Yes, these are faces, but why do they look like pillars to me? Ornamented and sculpted pillars are pretty common across civilizations and I can imagine sloping tent like roof set up that are held up by these pillars. How does one separate a pillar and a obelisk?
chupchap commented on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom washingtonpost.com/busine... · Posted by u/voxleone
The slight problem with how AI is currently being marketed is that AI is going for the fun and creative jobs that people want to do, not the dull and repetitive jobs that nobody wants to do.
If every creative job is gone to the AI beast then there will be people willing to do factory work since nothing else will be available.
What's the point of GenAI in a manufacturing pipeline? Good ol' ML based AI automation is heavily used in larger manufacturing plants to identify defects

Large companies negotiate and get lower rates, but individuals get the sticker price. So it is in Microsoft's interest if more people took up the individual option. That said, I don't see it working in companies where everything is locked down.
Same, but I would love to have map navigation displayed occasionally. I use bicycle in the city a lot and so many times I had to pull the phone (+unlock with face ID) while cycling, just to see the directions, and it's both frustrating and dangerous.
I use the voice guidance of Google Maps for it and in that context, Rayban is just a bluetooth piece.
Maybe you were thinking about PIX in Brazil which is developed and operated by their central bank.
