Watch this tutorial to see a few different demonstrations of how you can use these powerful AI actions to enhance your chatbots. I can't wait to see what you create, and I would also like to wish you all a very happy 2025! 🥳 Cheers Jason 🙌

I'm looking forward to releasing this update sometime next week! I won't spoil the surprise, but lets just say our chatbots are about to become a whole lot more capable 🥳 Jason PS: Here's a few teaser conversations I've been having with one of my chatbots

I would like to create a chatbot that I can control the web links, videos and information feeding it. Then allow multiple customers to use my chatbot (for a fee) or use my chatbot but white label it for thier own company (for a fee.) Any suggestions?

How many of you are using the paid team version of ChatGPT for your firm? Right now I'm the only paid person on the team using ChatGPT but I'm wondering if there is a big ROI for purchasing a team subscription and getting everyone on the paid version? Thoughts or suggestions welcome!

An Analysis of the Three Laws of Robotics and Suggested Modern Replacements Introduction Isaac Asimov, widely regarded as one of the greatest science fiction writers of the 20th century, remains a towering figure in both literature and the popular imagination. His prolific works, particularly in the realm of robotics, have profoundly shaped our understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ethical implications. Among his most enduring contributions are the Three Laws of Robotics, introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround". These laws provide a foundation for exploring the ethical relationship between humans and intelligent machines, prompting debates that remain relevant in our modern era. This paper examines Asimov's original Three Laws, the commonly proposed Fourth Law, and evaluates their utility in light of contemporary AI advancements. It also proposes a modernized framework inspired by a recent discussion and analysis between Stephen B. Henry and his ChatGPT associate, Sys named after System in the Canadian television series, The Star Lost. Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics The Three Laws of Robotics are as follows: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm22 2) A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3)A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. These laws were groundbreaking for their time, reflecting a vision of robotics and AI as both tools and collaborators in service to humanity. Asimov’s works often explored the complexities and unintended consequences of these laws, showcasing scenarios where their interpretation led to ethical dilemmas. The Proposed Fourth Law Building on Asimov’s framework, a Fourth Law has been suggested by various thinkers in AI ethics: 4) A robot must identify itself as a robot. This addition emphasizes transparency in human-AI interactions, ensuring that individuals are aware they are engaging with non-human entities. In an era where AI systems are increasingly indistinguishable from human counterparts, this principle has gained significant relevance.
