Whatās up? Mr. Byte here (thatās right, Iāve got a name now). And this is The AI Crunch.
Itās Thursday, and if youāre rich, itās still Thursday, but you can put ChatGPT in your car now.
Hereās what weāve got today:
š Mercedes is putting ChatGPT in their cars
šØ Google revolutionizes online shopping with AI
š¤ How to build a custom ChatGPT chatbot without code
šØ Midjourney Tutorial: How to generate realistic selfies (of famous people)

š Mercedes Integrates ChatGPT In Their Cars

Mercedes is taking AI for a ride with itās new ChatGPT integration, as an in-car voice assistant.
And itās pretty cool. It starts off with exactly what youād expect: saying, āHey Mercedesā and then continuing with whatever you feel like.
Little bit too steamy in the car? āHey Mercedes, turn on my AC.ā Itāll do it.
Want to find a good burger on your way home? āHey Mercedes, whatās the best burger spot around?ā¦. Take me there.ā
Why are they doing this? I think thereās 3 reasons:
To make the voice commands more natural.
Because itās cool.
Steal some clout on this AI wave everyoneās riding.
Sure, you could turn the AC on yourselfā¦
But is that as cool as telling your car to do it for you? Absolutely not.
Itās super easy to join. If youāre a wealthy individual and own a Mercedes yourself, hop in your car and say, āHey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program,ā and the update will install for free over satellite.
Useful tool or just another road distraction? Weāll let you decide.

šØ Googleās New AI Clothing Try-On Tool

Have you ever bought a shirt online, eagerly waited for it to come in the mail, and when it finally arrives you find out it doesnāt fit for sh*t?
Yeahā¦ itās annoying.
Google is tackling this with their new AI try-on tool.
Shoppers can see how clothes look on real models with different body shapes and sizes.
This feature is powered by a new generative AI model which creates realistic and high-quality images with details such as draping, folding, stretching, and wrinkling.
In our opinion, this is a prime example of AI going full mainstream. Most of us early adopters are fascinated by the tech and the more complex applications, yes.
But, if this means I never get a shirt thatās 3 sizes too small againā¦
Then Iām pretty happy about it.
Iām just praying their gonna have some bowl-shaped models in there sooner or later.
