FRESH AI NEWS

Elon Musk Escalates OpenAI Lawsuit ⚠️

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for $79B–$134B over "wrongful gains" from his early support, focusing on valuation math 💼

• Musk's suit alleges OpenAI and Microsoft profited significantly (OpenAI ~$65.5B–$109.4B; Microsoft ~$13.3B–$25.1B) from his initial support 📜

• Musk is asking a U.S. court for up to $134 billion in total damages from the two companies 💰

• The case is scheduled for a jury trial in April 2026 in Oakland, California 📅

• His lawyers argue that as an early backer akin to a startup investor, Musk is entitled to returns far beyond his initial ~$38 million contribution 📊

• OpenAI has called the damages claim “unserious” and part of a “harassment campaign,” while Microsoft’s legal team disputes wrongdoing 🚫

Why You Should Care: This case connects the AI industry's beginnings to a key legal concept. If Musk's plan to reward early work with future profits succeeds, it could alter perceptions of early efforts and the transition from nonprofit to profit in AI companies, highlighting differing opinions among industry leaders about AI's future.

Ads Are Coming to ChatGPT Soon 📍 

OpenAI will start testing ads in ChatGPT for free users and the new low-cost ChatGPT Go tier, marking a shift from its ad-free stance 🛍️

• OpenAI will start showing targeted ads to users on the free version and the $8/month Go plan in the United States in the coming weeks 📢

• Ads will appear at the bottom of chatbot responses, clearly separated and labeled as sponsored content 📍

• OpenAI says user conversations won’t be sold, and ads won’t influence how ChatGPT generates answers 🔒

• Users on Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans will remain ad-free 🚫

• Ads won’t be shown on sensitive topics (e.g., health, politics) or to users it determines are under 18 👶

• OpenAI is using ads to help fund its massive infrastructure costs and support broader access 💡

Why You Should Care: ChatGPT is moving to an ad-supported model, potentially affecting user trust, while competitors like Google's Gemini remain ad-free, highlighting different monetization strategies.

Google’s AI Videomaker Comes to Workspace 🌐 

Google is adding an AI video-making tool to Workspace, so users can create and edit videos in Docs and Slides without leaving the app 🎬

• Workspace users can now create videos directly from prompts inside Docs, Slides, and Chat with Google’s AI videomaker 📄

• Turn written content (e.g., an outline or script) into a full AI-generated video with scenes, narration, and visuals 📄

• Users can adjust scenes, swap clips, and refine output without needing external video apps 🛠️

• The feature is built into the Workspace interface, so you don't need to worry about exporting or importing 📍

• Rolling out first to Workspace Business/Enterprise customers, with expansion planned to other tiers 🌐

• The tool supports images, motion, and text styles, making it easy to remix content for presentations or training 🖼️

Why You Should Care: Integrating AI videomaking into Workspace allows teams to quickly create polished videos for pitches, lessons, marketing, and internal communications using familiar apps, without needing specialist tools.

ChatGPT Adds a Cheaper Monthly Plan 📊 

OpenAI has introduced a cheaper ChatGPT subscription option, making it more affordable for more people to use advanced AI 💸

• OpenAI introduced a cheaper subscription tier below the standard Plus plan to broaden access for cost-sensitive users 📈

• Designed for users who want more than the free tier but don’t need the full features of Plus or Pro ⚙️

• The package includes faster responses and priority access to models during peak times, though with some limits compared with higher tiers 📱

• OpenAI is offering this option as a middle choice between free basic use and premium features, hoping to get more people to subscribe regularly 📊

Why You Should Care: This move introduces tiered pricing in AI services, allowing users to pay based on need and budget, similar to streaming models. It could increase adoption among casual users and provide a steadier revenue base for OpenAI's expensive infrastructure.

WORK SMARTER WITH GEMENI

Use Gemini to Work Smarter in Gmail ✉️

Learn how Gemini is being woven into Gmail, what tools you can actually use today, and where the experience feels powerful versus half-baked in this first release ✅

Here’s how to get started 👇️ 

1. Confirm access and turn everything on by opening Gmail settings under a Workspace or AI Pro account and enabling all available AI and smart assistance options so Gemini can read context properly.

2. Use Gemini as an inbox navigator by clicking the Gemini icon near the settings menu and asking questions like: “Show me emails related to travel reimbursements” or “Summarize my last 10 client threads.”

3. Let Gemini assist while drafting emails by triggering the writing assistant from the compose window (shortcut or button) and allowing it to generate replies based on the ongoing conversation.

4. Quickly improve responses by creating new drafts or changing the style to be shorter, more formal, or more casual, without having to rewrite them yourself.

Pro Tip: Try using Gemini to help draft "Schedule a call" emails. It can review the conversation, check calendars, and suggest time slots automatically, reducing the need for many back-and-forth messages ✨
