Gemini impresses with automation of everyday tasks, ChatGPT tests advertising, and new gig apps pay users for data used in AI training. At the same time, a new investment in Cloaked shows that the market for AI security and privacy is growing rapidly.
Gemini Impresses with Task Automation
Google’s Gemini has been tested for task automation on mobile devices, where users can, among other things, order food, book Uber rides, and perform other simple actions. Tests show that the solution can already be practically useful, although speed and accuracy still vary.
The development points toward a future where AI increasingly functions as an active assistant in daily life, not just as a chatbot.

ChatGPT Ads Receive Mixed Feedback
The first ads purchased through ChatGPT are now being evaluated by advertising partners, but the feedback is mixed. According to reports, the process still involves manual steps and limited insight into ad performance.
This shows that advertising on AI platforms is still in an early phase, but also that OpenAI is testing new revenue models around ChatGPT.

Gig Apps Pay Users for AI Training Data
Several gig apps, including Kled AI and Silencio, pay users for data used in training AI models. This can include everything from audio recordings on phones to video recordings of physical surroundings.
This development illustrates how personal data and everyday observations are becoming increasingly valuable in the AI economy, but also raises new questions about privacy and consent.
