The Latest AI Developments

🧩 WordPress Adds an AI Assistant

WordPress.com shipped an AI assistant. You can now tell it to change layouts, adjust styles, swap colors, generate images, and edit content, all in natural language from the editor. It only works on block themes for now, but this is “AI inside the CMS” moving into real site ops.

🚫 Perplexity Kills Ads Over Trust Concerns

Perplexity is walking away from advertising. The reasoning? Once ads show up, users start second-guessing every answer. “We’re in the accuracy business,” one exec said. The company tested sponsored answers below responses, but now says ads are “misaligned with what users want.”

🎵 Google Adds Music Generation to Gemini

You can now generate 30-second music tracks from text prompts or photos and videos. Every clip gets a SynthID watermark, and Gemini can verify whether audio was AI-generated. Not a full production tool yet, but it’s another sign that generative audio is going mainstream fast.

Interesting AI

Nosh is a countertop robot that actually cooks dinner.

You load the ingredients, pick from 500+ recipes (or program your own), and Nosh handles the timing, heat, and seasoning. The app lets you dial in preferences per person: less salt for the kids, extra spice for you, lower oil for whoever’s watching their intake. It even has a patented spice dispenser for consistency.

If “I don't have time to cook” is a daily problem, this is the category to watch. Robo-chefs have been a punchline for years.
