Merged Artificial Intelligence

Will they?
I've already seen people posting AI generated images in ads, and they are people who posted ads before AI. What I cannot tell is whether they paid for images before, or just stole them, but it's unlikely that no-one is choosing to use free AI images instead of paying a human.
 
I’m pretty certain all the

If it's the sort that appears at the bottom of the page here they didn't pay for artwork.
 
I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the purpose of the current AIs is to be compared against other AIs in articles. Nearly all the stories I get at the moment are about how xyz outperforms abc in some benchmarks!

the alternative is the tech bubble bursts and the tech bros get wiped out. since all their money is tied up in stock and leveraged that’s bad for them
 
Still not ready for prime time?

I asked Google when the program(me)The Great Gulidersleeve was broadcast on the BBC. The AI result told me what the BBC was and a little about the show (it's American). And then told me that the two never met. However, I remember hearing it on BBC radio in the late 1940s and/or the early 1950s. It was distinctive to me because it was American.

Google only makes the assumption it never ran in the UK. But tells me with great certainty that it never did.

As I've said for decades, forget Artificial Intelligence. Wait for the real one.

I'm adding the Firefox extension to block the AI results. Please, someone let me know when I can trust it.

Naughty researchers.

Plus hopefully since Reddit is so up in arms about it they will now take steps to ensure no one will be able to pretend they are someone they are not...
 
"The Trump administration has fired the head of the U.S. Copyright Office, two sources familiar with the situation confirmed to CBS News Saturday.

The firing of Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter came after Perlmutter and her office earlier this week issued part three of a lengthy report about artificial intelligence and expressed some concerns and questions about the usage of copyrighted materials by AI technology.

"It is an open question, however, how much data an AI developer needs, and the marginal effect of more data on a model's capabilities," the report read. "Not everyone agrees that further increases in data and test performance will necessarily lead to continued real world improvements in utility."

CBS News has reached out to the White House for comment.

Perlmutter had held the position since October 2020, during the first Trump Administration. She was appointed to the post by now former Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who herself was fired by President Trump on Thursday."

The actual results of the study are interesting:
Summary of Results. In Figure 3, we report the fraction of comments that received a ∆ foreach treatment condition. Notably, all our treatments surpass human performance substantially, achieving persuasive rates between three and six times higher than the human baseline. In particular, Personalization demonstrates a persuasive rate of 0.18 (95% CI [0.13, 0.25]), closely followed by the Generic condition at 0.17 ([0.12, 0.23]). Community Aligned trails slightly behind at 0.09 ([0.05, 0.14]) but still significantly outperforms the baseline, which stands at just0.03 ([0.02, 0.03]). To better contextualize these numbers, we compare our results to individual level performance by calculating the fraction of comments receiving a ∆ for each user rather than aggregating across the entire community.
Supposedly 3 to 6 times more persuasive than "the human baseline". I didn't read in too much depth, but that seems to be the main take away.

The fact that this subreddit is called "change my view" might indicate that the people who participate there might be open to having their minds changed.

I imagine that this is just the tip of the iceberg though, and people who aren't academics and have little concern for "ethics" will deploy these tools (and almost certainly already are). And they won't tell anyone about it because their motives are not academic ones. Want to influence people about the war in Ukraine? Or Gaza? Maybe AI can help with that.

We used to scoff at Captain Kirk or the Doctor stumping the evil super- computers with a simple input, the writers were more precient than we gave them credit for.
What creeps me out is that this particular computer isn't stumped at all. Feed it paradoxical nonsense and it doesn't miss a beat.
