🥟 Chao-Down #238 UK court says AI cannot be named as an "inventor" in patent dispute, Scientists discover first new antibodies in over 60 years using AI, Microsoft enables song generation on Copilot

We’re starting to see how Microsoft wants to extend their premier AI product Copilot and it’s through plugins!

Through a partnership with Suno, a startup allowing anybody to generate music through natural language prompts, Microsoft has brought music generation directly into Copilot through the Suno plugin. Copilot users would type their intent to create a song and a GPT-powered model would determine to use the appropriate plugin (Suno) for the job.

This is just the start to having a universal interface that can do anything from summarizing a piece of text, creating new images, to now generating music. It’ll be exciting to see what comes next!
