Gemini Just Went Credit Based and the Golden Era of Free AI Is Quietly Closing (AI Weekly News)

Andrew Miles Davis opens May with a news episode covering one of the most significant shifts he has been predicting for months, Google moving Gemini to a credit based system and what that signals about the end of the unlimited free AI era that has defined the last two years. He also covers Taylor Swift trademarking her voice and specific phrases to legally challenge AI deepfakes, WWE confirming it is using AI and fan data to shape storylines and championship arcs, and an NFL quarterback publicly endorsing an AI cardiovascular screening tool that detects blockages years before symptoms appear. The episode rounds off with Tinder rolling out iris scanning to verify users are human, China blocking Meta's two billion dollar acquisition of Manus to keep AI built by Chinese founders out of American hands, and Google testing a conversational AI search layer inside YouTube.
