Weekly Magic AI - OpenAI’s GPTBot, Google’s Project IDX, and Nvidia AI Workbench
Top AI news of the week and Magic AI book of the week
Hi AI Enthusiasts,
Welcome to our weekly email newsletter, where we bring you the latest updates on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an accessible way.
Top AI news of the week
🤖 OpenAI launches GPTBot
OpenAI now also collects data with its own web crawler, GPTBot. This data can be used to train future GPT models. However, website operators can also block the bot. You can prevent crawling with a hint in the robots.txt file. You have to add the following note to the robots.txt:
User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /
With this hint, you ensure that future GPT versions are not trained using data from your website. However, there is no guarantee that future GPT models will be trained using only the data from the new OpenAI crawler. OpenAI can also use other data collections from the web. Now, website operators have at least the possibility to prevent the crawling of their websites.

💻 Google introduces Project IDX
Project IDX is a browser-based development environment for multi-platform apps. The frontend of Project IDX is based on “code - OSS”. The backend runs in the Google Cloud. The individual workspaces are Linux-based virtual machines. Project IDX uses Codey, an AI for generating code. Codey is integrated in the form of a chatbot for auto-completion and code generation. In addition, the AI model can convert code from one programming language to another and create comments. Furthermore, Codey can explain existing code with the command “explain this code”.

🖥️ Nvidia AI Workbench
AI Workbench brings together many open-source tools in one web interface. You have access to numerous repositories from Github, NGC and Hugging Face via AI Workbench. AI Workbench loads a desired image generator or large language model (LLM) as a basis. You can then use the tool to generate content. If you are interested, you can register for Early Access via Nvidia’s website. The final release of AI Workbench is planned for autumn.

Magic AI Book of the week
The book “Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming” is the world’s best-selling guide to the Python programming language (over 1,500,000 copies sold).
Python is the most popular programming language in the field of Data Science. You will learn basic programming concepts, such as variables, lists and classes. In addition, you will practice writing clean code with exercises for each topic.
The book also contains some projects where you can apply what you have learned. We use the book as a reference book.
