Alright, now, let's shift focus to Amazon's new chatbot. So they have created a new AI chatbot that works on its mobile apps for phones like iPhones and Android phones. This chatbot is designed to answer questions about products you can buy on Amazon. For example, it can tell you the size of a shelf, how long a battery can last, and it can even make up a song about snow boots for Christmas. This AI tool is mainly for helping with shopping, but it can also do fun things. People sometimes ask silly questions to AI chatbots when they are just messing around. Amazon's AI can do this too. You can ask IT questions on the product PA page right before where you see customer reviews. Only a few people can use this feature at the moment. Staff from the Verge, a news site, tried it and found that it can do creative things like tell jokes about flashcard readers, make up bedtime stories about hard drives, and talk about snow boots in a playful way. One thing the AI won't do is flirt with people. The Verge team tried to get it to flirt, but the AI said it doesn't have feelings and doesn't flirt. Amazon said they are still testing this feature. They told cnbc, a news channel, that the AI is not meant to have conversations or answer questions that are not about products. The Verge team tested this by asking for a hummus recipe while looking at snow boots, and the AI said it couldn't answer, but it will guess if Jeff Bezos, the chair of Amazon, might wear the boots as long as you ask about it in relation to the product. Amazon has been adding more AI features to its shopping site. These features include using AI to summarize product reviews, find fake reviews and suggest clothing sizes. The company is also working on creating AI tools through aws, its cloud computing service. In November, AWS introduced the Titan Image Generator, which lets businesses make pictures from text descriptions. AWS also gives businesses access to other big AI models from companies like Meta Anthropic and Stability AI. Alright, that wraps up the video. I hope you found it as interesting as I did. If you did, smash that like button. And don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more AI content. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one.
