Just last month, I watched my 12-year-old nephew ask ChatGPT to write a story about a dragon who codes websites. Within seconds, he had a three-page tale complete with technical jokes I barely understood. That moment crystallized something I'd been thinking about for months: generative AI isn't just changing how we work, it's reshaping how we create, learn, and solve problems.
Top YouTube creator MrBeast is worried about AI's impact on creators' livelihoods, despite having dabbled with using the technology himself. On Monday, the creator posted his concerns on social media, where he openly wondered how AI-generated videos could affect the "millions of creators currently making content for a living." "Scary times," he added. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is No.
Back in 2023, Telly CEO Ilya Pozin came on The Vergecast and made a surprisingly compelling case for the existence of a TV that doesn't cost you a dime - but shows ads all the time. It's a reasonable business model, and a pretty good deal for consumers! But as The Verge's Emma Roth discovered, the reality of the situation is a bit different.
If that's how we're doing it, JD, then we here at The Late Show also enjoy humor, the host declared. He proceeded to roll a heavily censored AI animation of Vance humping a sofa while wearing a sombrero in callback to an internet hoax that falsely claimed Vance once wrote about such an encounter in his memoir. The rumor, long debunked, was recycled through online memes during the 2024 campaign.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) edited sombreros and moustaches onto 44 Senate Democrats on Wednesday, threatening to continue until they re-open our government. The 44 Senate Democrats who voted for Schumer's Shutdown should know that the Sombrero posting will continue until they re-open our government, warned Cruz in a social media post. Hey, Macarena! The 44 Senate Democrats who voted for Schumer's Shutdown should know that the Sombrero posting will continue until they re-open our government. Hey, Macarena!
The Dead Internet Theory is a false conspiracy theory. But in practical terms, it might as well be true. Emerging from the deranged muck of 4chan and Wizardchan in the late 2010s, the Dead Internet Theory holds that secret cabals of all-powerful government or corporate conspirators use bots and AI-generated content to replace humans on the internet. The goal: to manipulate public perception, control narratives, and influence the public's behavior.
The administration's announcement of the campaign explains it will target social media platforms, short video services, the livestreaming platforms used by Chinese e-commerce sites to host infomercials and even delve into comments left across the internet. Some of the material Beijing wants to root out - such as content that incites violence - would likely fall foul of content moderators in many nations.
This is a list of writing and formatting conventions typical of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, with real examples taken from Wikipedia articles and drafts. It is meant to act as a field guide to help detect undisclosed AI-generated content on Wikipedia. This list is descriptive, not prescriptive; it consists of observations, not rules. Advice about formatting or language to avoid in Wikipedia articles can be found in the policies and guidelines and the Manual of Style, but does not belong on this page.
Fans of the game took to platforms such as X and Reddit, pointing out what they perceived as telltale signs that the sprays depicting cartoony versions of Venture, Juno, and the game's new Hero Wuyang were AI-generated. One user on X cited the "hair and line art" in a spray showing Venture and Juno posing back-to-back, and another user claimed that there were "weird errors and strange details that'd be odd for an industry artist to make,"
For a while now, we've been seeing companies that fired a bunch of their human workers in favor of artificial intelligence move to recoup some of that flesh-and-blood labor. Now, that push has resulted in a new line of gig work: slop fixer-uppers, who get paid to improve AI-generated art, writing, and code - by making it less, well, sloppy.
"We would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the recent issue regarding the TikTok Creative Challenge," the Steam post reads. It goes on to note that TikTok had confirmed with Nexon that the video sharing social media currently has no system to "verify potential copyright infringement, and TikTok is now conducting further investigations to identify any additional cases."
The mobile app's personalized feed will show bite-sized sports videos in a standalone "verts" tab as well as within a carousel on the homepage. There's a new "SC For You" feature launching in beta, too, which uses the AI-generated voices of SportsCenter anchors to deliver a daily version of the show that's tailored to your favorite teams, leagues, and sports. This feature will be available on the ESPN mobile app, along with ESPN.com and some smart TVs.
