How ChatGPT Pulse Could Change AI

In this episode of The AI Daily Brief, Nathaniel Whittemore discusses two major AI announcements. First, OpenAI's GDPVal, a new benchmark measuring AI performance on real-world economically valuable tasks across 44 occupations, designed to evaluate AI's practical impact. Second, Meta's new AI-generated short-form video feed called Vibes, which has been met with widespread criticism. The episode also touches on Spotify's efforts to remove AI-generated spam tracks and introduces ChatGPT Pulse, OpenAI's new background agent that proactively delivers personalized insights daily, shifting from a reactive to a proactive AI interaction model. The host shares initial reactions to Pulse and offers his own skeptical perspective, questioning the necessity of AI anticipating user needs.
