Can ChatGPT be your morning newspaper, or at least what you used to receive as a daily newspaper? From Pete Pachal in Fast Company, maybe that and a lot more.
That, as far as I can tell, is exactly what ChatGPT Pulse is supposed to be: a digital assistant in the true sense of the word. Pulse is a new feature in ChatGPT that’s available initially only to ChatGPT Pro subscribers (that’s the $200 monthly tier). After you set it up by telling it what topics you’re most interested in (among other things), Pulse will build a highly tailored daily update, just for you. And it’s not just the news of the day: Pulse will look to your chat history, email, and calendar for context, assembling a highly personalized custom summary.
ChatGPT Pulse is arguably an inflection point in our relationship with AI. It’s different from previous AI products because it shifts AI from a passive tool to a proactive one. Intelligence is no longer something you go to with a specific query—it’s now pushed to you when you’re not even engaging with it.
Imagine the law with a library of every legal blog and legal article from practitioners and other legal professionals being constantly aggregated by today’s legal research platforms.
Now imagine AI knowing what we would like to see, not only by our declared interests, but also by what we are working on.
And not just for information, but for networking among peers and authorities.
For legal bloggers and publishers, what an ally. Information to cite and share while connecting with your sources by citing them and connecting with them.
Certainly an accelerator of more meaningful publishing—if you are looking to build upon the law and build your reputation.
Too much news and information? Maybe not. AI is going to get better and better at delivering the authoritative insight we want, especially if the pool of the legal insight and commentary is limited to that which is credible and citable.
