Here is today’s Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown that kicks off a new month and a new quarter. It looks like October is going to be just as active as September. Featured stories this week include:

Deepfake scams more frequent - Recent deepfakes of MrBeast and Tom Hanks highlight the proliferation of deepfake-fueled fraud and the lack of detection tools on social media (and elsewhere, for that matter).
The assistants rise again - Bard is coming to Google Assistant, while Meta AI is a new assistant that Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t seem to have much enthusiasm for. What he is enthusiastic about is the new AI characters, which are entertainment-oriented as opposed to the productivity-focused Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and so on. We break down the different classes of assistants and what you should actually expect from the marriage of Bard and Google Assistant.
Generative AI winners and losers of the week.
