The end of easy homework
Who’s really benefiting from ChatGPT?
With over 100 million users within the first 60 days, ChatGPT has become the fastest growing tech product of all time.
And while it’s still in the early stages, ChatGPT has already shown an incredible ability to automate repetitive tasks.
From data entry to accounting, many tasks that once took hours can be completed in minutes, which will inevitably lead to a massive boost in worker productivity…
Along with the potential for significant cuts in headcount at many businesses.
But in the early days of these productivity boosting tools, who’s really benefiting?
A recent survey conducted by Fishbowl, a social network where professionals discuss career topics anonymously, found that 43% of workers polled have already started using tools like ChatGPT to assist with work tasks.
The more interesting statistic?
Nearly 70% of the workers using ChatGPT to lighten their workload have not told their boss.
Could this mean that a significant number of people are not using these tools to increase their output at work, but simply to reduce the number of hours they’re putting in at the office each day?
Well, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere…
David Guetta feat. Emin-AI-em
If you want to get an idea of how far AI generated voice technology has come, look no further than rave DJ David Guetta.
During a concert last week, Guetta surprised his fans with a new song featuring a digitally created verse imitating rapper Eminem.
"Basically you can write lyrics in the style of any artist you like.” said Guetta.
And while Guetta didn’t mention the specific tools he used, he did describe the process:
“I went to one website and typed, ‘write a verse in the style of Eminem about future rave,’ and I went to another AI website that can recreate the voice. I put the text in that and I played the record and people went nuts."
Between AI voice generation, lyric writing, and text-to-music tools that are currently available, it’s only a matter of time before artists can be replaced entirely.

NVIDIA positioned as big winner in AI
The beta version of ChatGPT was trained on 10,000 GPUs from NVIDIA, tet in order to keep up with anticipated demand, it’s estimated that GPT5 is being trained on 25,000 NVIDIA GPUs (costing roughly $225mm).
And as more and more language, image, and video generation tools that rely on AI processing power come online, NIVIDIA is poised to be a massive winner in the space.
Why NVIDIA specifically?
We’ll leave you with an answer from ChatGPT itself, which was a response to question from a Fierce Electronics journalist asking ChatGPT if it will be using GPU’s from vendors other than NVIDIA:
“It is possible that ChatGPT or other deep learning models could be trained or run on GPUs from other vendors in the future. However, currently, NVIDIA GPUs are widely used in the deep learning community due to their high performance and CUDA support.
CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA that allows for efficient computation on NVIDIA GPUs. Many deep learning libraries and frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, have built-in support for CUDA and are optimized for NVIDIA GPUs.”
NVIDIA’s stock price is up close to 30% this month and the company is expected to report Q4 FY22 earnings on February 22nd.
Say goodbye to AI homework
Since ChatGPT was released in November, teachers around the world have been complaining about students using the technology to complete assignments…
But using ChatGPT to complete your homework may soon become a thing of the past.
A Princeton student is slated to become one of the most hated people in history after unveiling his ChatGPT plagiarism detector “GPTZero.”
After interning on the Microsoft A.I. team last summer, Edward Tan spent his winter break creating an app that is able to detect plagiarized material, including work produced by tools like ChatGPT.
So far over 40,000 teachers from 30+ countries have signed up for the product waitlist, meaning that its only a matter of time before kids will once again be subjected to the drudgery of homework.
It was good while it lasted kiddos.

And now your moment of zen
That’s all for today folks!
