In summary, the US Patent and Trademark Office has declined OpenAI’s request to trademark “GPT,” an acronym for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, citing that the term is considered “merely descriptive” rather than distinctive. This decision was based on the widespread usage of GPT across various AI models, indicating its generic nature in the field.
On a different note, Google has disclosed that conversations with its AI chatbot, now named Gemini, will be retained for up to three years, even after users delete the app. It is advised to refrain from sharing sensitive information during interactions, as reviewed conversations are stored separately and may include personal details or trade secrets.
For individuals interested in running a personalized AI chatbot using Nvidia’s “Chat with RTX” software, a Windows 10 or 11 system with a powerful GPU like the GeForce RTX 30 Series is required. This tool enables the customization of chatbots using locally stored data, facilitating searches and queries across various file formats and content types.
Lastly, with the advancements in generative AI models like OpenAI’s Sora for text-to-video generation, questions arise regarding the similarities in models produced by different companies when given identical input prompts. The comparison between Sora and Midjourney’s text-to-image software prompts discussions on the potential overlap in training data utilized by these AI models.
