Earlier this week OpenAI's ChatGPT introduced voice features to its mobile apps, and now its competitor Google Bard has received new capabilities too. Google Bard will now be able to watch and understand YouTube videos and answer your questions on it. This new feature has been rolled out and users should be able to test it out. The feature is part of Bard Extensions which were introduced earlier this year. Through different extensions of different Google products, Bard can collaborate and answer queries from the app-specific knowledge base.
The new features were announced in Bard's blog post which said, “We're taking the first steps in Bard's ability to understand YouTube videos. For example, if you're looking for videos on how to make olive oil cake, you can now also ask how many eggs the recipe in the first video requires”.
This feature does have some limitations. Bard can understand YouTube videos to a certain extent. It can process the audio and video content of a video and extract the main points and ideas. It can also understand the overall tone and sentiment of a video. However, it will face difficulty understanding videos with complex or nuanced language, or videos that rely heavily on visual cues. Further, Bard does not answer questions from videos that contain ‘potentially unsafe content'.
So, what could be some of the use cases of this feature? Bard's feature can be very helpful in scenarios where you have to analyze a long video but you do not have the time to watch it in its entirety. You can simply paste the URL and ask it to summarize the video. You can also ask it contextual questions or questions about a specific aspect of the video. However, do note that it may not be able to answer such questions in case the video does not have a caption file that it can read.
YouTube is also testing a similar feature for its Premium users where they can ask an AI-powered chatbot questions about videos or ask for recommendations, and to tell you more about a topic. Interestingly, unlike YouTube, Bard's feature is available to everyone.

The artificial intelligence (AI) race is heating up, with the world's biggest tech companies making efforts to rapidly advance this technology. With OpenAI's GPT being extremely popular, Google has now launched its next-generation foundation model called Gemini. It has been launched in three sizes - Nano, Pro, and Ultra. While the Gemini Nano model can run natively on Android devices such as Google Pixel phone, the Gemini Pro has been integrated into Google Bard, the company's own AI chatbot. On the other hand, the Gemini Ultra is the top-of-the-line version. Google claims it is even more powerful than ChatGPT and is the most powerful Large Language Model (LLM) ever created. Know all about the Google Gemini Ultra AI.
Google Forms are widely used by students and organizations alike for various surveys and questionnaires. It is a great tool to collect data for research papers and to better understand the employees in an organization. However, many times these forms are also shared outside the intended participant base, which can corrupt the data or its usefulness. Sometimes such forms also fall prey to troll attacks which can also negatively affect the results. To help users gain better control of their Google Forms, the company has announced that it will soon add granular control options when sharing to allow the maker to have better privacy control on their form and protect it from outsider influence.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a game crammed full of content, with a single playthrough only allowing for a limited look at a larger whole, depending on decisions made.

Apple has just rolled out a compelling advertisement for the latest iPhone 15 series, putting the spotlight on its exceptional camera capabilities, particularly the groundbreaking Smart Portrait mode.

The footage captures a band in the process of creating their album cover, with one member utilising the iPhone 15 to edit a group photo.
Artificial frame generation technology. Even typing those words feels vaguely science-fiction, but ever since the release of Nvidia's DLSS 3 Frame Generation (and much later, AMD's Fluid Motion Frames), it's become a concept that's gone beyond the theoretical into the everyday. However, Korean technology website QuasarZone (via Videocardz) has taken things to a new extreme by managing to run both methods at the same time via an impressive bit of GPU wrangling, and the performance gains are, on the surface at least, rather impressive.

The level cap has been a much-discussed limitation of the game, but there's now a way to go much, much further than previously allowed. The leveling system is built around the acquisition of increasingly powerful features, so reaching a certain cap has always been intrinsic to the experience., however, lowered that maximum from the 20 that's standard in tabletop play to a comparatively measly Level 12, which can be somewhat disappointing if the threshold is reached well before the end of the game and XP starts to become meaningless.
I love retro controllers, but even I'm eager to get my hands on 8bitdo's Retro Receiver for PS1 and PS2. As much as I'm into hardware preservation, I can't blame anyone for wanting to play retro PlayStation games with a modern gamepad. So, rather than trying to use a pad that has been the victim of FIFA rage throughout the years, you'll want to pick the receiver up while it's cheaper for Cyber Monday.
