Good morning, welcome to AI Joe, the newsletter that’s sweeter than a stack of pancakes on a maple syrup farm.

Here’s what’s on today’s agenda 👇️ 

• Photoshop gets an overhaul 👄 

• Superbug cured by AI discovery 🩺 

• AI search engine launching in…3…2…1 🚀 

• This week in Startups AI product demos 🎧️ 

• How to access Google’smusic creation tool 🎶 

“Photoshopping” just got way easier

It’s officially time to stop believing everything you see on the internet 🌎️ 

This week, Adobe added a new feature called “generative fill” to Photoshop. It uses Adobe’s AI model called “Firefly” to allow users to use prompts to add elements or extend images. Check out this demo from Adobe Chief Product Officer Scott Belsky 👇️ 

So how does generative fill work?

It’s pretty simple, all you need to do is select an area on or beside the image and type a prompt. Here are some of the changes you’ll notice in the image below:

• Switched from landscape to portrait by adding the sky

• Added individual elements including:

  • A pick-up truck 🛻 

  • Bubbles 🫧 

  • Trees 🌳 

  • Fence 🚧 

  • A puddle (with a reflection) 💧

Joe’s Takeaway: These generative fill images will be taking over the internet. News outlets will need to triple-check their sources before writing reports as these types of images become more prevalent and more realistic.

Drug discovery AI 💊 

AI is the lab partner who does all the work 🥼 

Drugs can be difficult and expensive to discover. Scientists typically spend years researching thousands of chemicals before they find a drug that works.

AI on the other hand can narrow the possible chemicals to just a small handful for researchers to test in the lab. This is helping researchers discover important new drugs in hours instead of years.

Recently researchers turned the power of AI against “Superbugs.”

No, not this guy 👇️ 

So what’s a superbug then?

Superbugs are drug-resistant bacteria that make it difficult for doctors to treat patients with antibiotics.

How is AI killing the superbugs?

• Researchers trained an AI (queue Rocky montage)

• The AI analyzed a list of 6,680 compounds

• In just 90 minutes, the AI had identified 9 possible superbug killers

• One of the 9 antibiotics is now slated to start killing superbugs

Joe’s Takeaway: We’re all gonna live forever!!!

Google goes live… with AI search 🔍️ 

They’re calling it Google SGE (Search Generative Experience), it will act as a direct response to Bing + ChatGPT, the AI search launched by Microsoft earlier this year.

What’s SGE do?

SGE will add conversational AI (think AI chat) to the Google search page. This will allow users to do some pretty awesome stuff (like deleting Microsoft Edge from their computer and never using Bing again).

Here are some of the unique ways you can use SGE 👇️ 

• Ask follow-up questions that build on your initial question

• Summarize in formats like a table or side-by-side comparison.

• Ask specific questions with lots of detail like:

  • Can you help me find a dress for an outdoor wedding in Miami in a trendy 2023 color with 2-day shipping?

How to access Google SGE

You must be located in the United States (for now).

1. Open your Chrome Browser

2. Sign in to your Google Account

3. Open a new tab

4. Click the beaker icon (pictured below)
