Hello and welcome to the Automated, your AI tour guide.

Yesterdayโ€™s Samsung Unpacked 2025 event revealed the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 series (that included the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra) packed to the brim with cutting-edge AI features.

And to top it off, Google slid in a range of exciting Android updates, including major enhancements to its AI assistant, Gemini, making the whole reveal even more wow-worthy!

Hereโ€™s what we have for you today:

  • ๐Ÿคฏ Gemini Takes the Lead as Galaxy S25's Default AI Assistant

  • ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Stargate Showdown! Elon Musk Calls OpenAIโ€™s $500B AI Project a โ€œSham.โ€

  • ๐Ÿ‘‰ The 15 best GPTs to use with ChatGPT.

  • ๐ŸŽฌ AI Tools to create jaw-dropping music videos.

๐Ÿคฏ Gemini Takes the Lead as Galaxy S25's Default AI Assistant.

Googleโ€™s Gemini AI is flexing some serious multitasking muscles in its latest update, arriving just in time to steal the spotlight alongside Samsungโ€™s stunning new Galaxy S25 series.

And guess what?

Gemini is now the default assistant on these devices, officially sidelining Bixby (Samsungโ€™s once-promising assistant) to the app drawer. (But donโ€™t worry, Bixby fansโ€”you can always dig it out if nostalgia hits.)

So, whatโ€™s new with Gemini? Quite a lot, actually.

First up, it now handles complex, multi-app tasks with a single command. Picture asking it to find a dog-friendly Italian restaurant, send the details to your friend, and add it to your calendar all in one seamless request. Pretty handy, right?

But hereโ€™s the kicker: Gemini is no longer confined to Googleโ€™s ecosystem. It now integrates smoothly with Samsungโ€™s apps, including Calendar, Notes, Reminders, and Clock.

And for the rest of us, Gemini already supports Google apps, Spotify, WhatsApp, and moreโ€”so itโ€™s not just exclusive to Samsung users.

Oh, and Gemini Live is also getting a nice upgradeโ€”at least for Galaxy S25, S24, and Google Pixel 9 users.

If youโ€™re lucky enough to have one of these devices, you can now share images, files, and even YouTube videos directly in the chat interface to get feedback, additional details, or perhaps just some validation for your meme collection.

And soon, thanks to Googleโ€™s Project Astra, even more cool features like live screen sharing and video streaming will roll out, making Gemini feel even more like a true personal assistant.

But thatโ€™s just the beginning.

Circle to Search is getting even smarter. It now automatically recognizes phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs, making them instantly tappable for quick action.

Plus, the AI Overviews feature is expanding as well, helping you identify everything from landmarks and artwork to those mysterious gadgets youโ€™ve captured in a photo.

On the accessibility front, Google is making it easier than ever to pair braille screen readers and hearing aids with Android devices.

To top it all off, Samsung has added a dedicated side button on the Galaxy S25 series for quick Gemini access. With just one press, Gemini is at your service, ready to set reminders, take and save notes, or keep you on track with whatโ€™s next on your agenda.

If you're already sold, preorders for the Galaxy S25 begin this Wednesday, with shipping starting February 7.

๐Ÿ˜ฑ Elon Musk Calls OpenAIโ€™s $500B AI Project a โ€œSham.โ€

When you thought the tech world couldn't get spicier, Elon Musk dropped a bombshell about OpenAIโ€™s shiny new Stargate Project, calling it a sham.

The $500 billion initiative, backed by big names like SoftBank and Oracle, promises to build massive AI data centers across the U.S. But according to Musk, the cash isnโ€™t exactly rolling in.

The Stargate Project, announced at a White House press event with all the pomp and circumstance youโ€™d expect, is supposed to revolutionize AI infrastructure.

Think huge data centers, job creation, and America reclaiming its tech throne.

However, Musk, who is said to have extensive clearances and reportedly even a personal office within the Trump White House, was never one to hold back.

He hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to throw a wrench in the hype machine: โ€œThey donโ€™t actually have the money.โ€

Musk claims that SoftBank, a key investor, has secured โ€œwell under $10 billionโ€ of the $100 billion needed to kick things off.

For context, thatโ€™s like planning a luxury yacht trip and showing up with a paddleboard budget.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, clearly not in the mood for Muskโ€™s antics, clapped back in style.

First, he buttered up Musk, calling him "the most inspiring entrepreneur of our time." (Flattery? Shade? You decide.)

Then, he went for the jugular: โ€œWhat is great for the country isnโ€™t always whatโ€™s optimal for your companies.โ€ Mic drop.

This isnโ€™t just a billionaire roast-offโ€”itโ€™s about the future of AI in America.

The Stargate Project promises to pump $500 billion into building AI super hubs, starting with a flagship site in Texas. Itโ€™s billed as a game-changer for jobs, tech, and national security.

But Muskโ€™s skepticism raises eyebrows: if the funding isnโ€™t solid, will Stargate fizzle out like a bad sci-fi sequel?

Musk and OpenAI go way backโ€”and not in a good way. Musk left OpenAIโ€™s board in 2018, and since then, the two have been locked in a feud over everything from AI ethics to who gets the last word on X.

Musk has called OpenAIโ€™s work โ€œdangerous,โ€ while OpenAI says Muskโ€™s criticisms are more about drama than data.

For now, Stargate is full steam ahead, with SoftBank, Oracle, and others promising to make it happen.

But Muskโ€™s shade adds a juicy twist to an already ambitious story.
