The World Economic Forum’s ‘AI Enslavement’ is Coming for YOU!

When Sir Thomas More wrote his socio-political satire about a fictional island society in the New World, he gave it the fabricated name, Utopia, derived from simple Greek and meaning, “no-place.” Although More was humorously telling his audience that his idealized community existed nowhere, centuries of central planners chasing the fantasy of utopian societies have failed to get the joke. Worse, for every peaceful religious community seeking separation from modern civilization, there is a power-hungry tyrant seeking to impose his will upon everyone else.

Robot lawyer that drafts legal contracts in the offing after chatbot deal

A British artificial intelligence start-up has secured a deal with a Google-backed rival to OpenAI to develop a robot lawyer that can draft contracts as law firms embrace the buzz surrounding ChatGPT.

RobinAI, which has just secured $10.5m (£8.8m) in equity funding, is developing a lawyer bot that can pick apart contracts and suggest new wording to solicitors.

It says the technology can cut the time to review a document by up to 80pc, saving on legal fees.

ChatGPT has sparked a struggle for AI’s soul

Elon Musk’s dream of using the powerful technology for good is being dashed as a rival tycoon turns it into a money-machine

Elon Musk grabbed the title as the world’s most famous artificial intelligence doom-monger years ago. Creating super-intelligent machines was akin, he once said, to “summoning the demon” and presented the, “biggest existential threat” to the human race. So concerned was the Tesla billionaire that in 2015, when this threat still felt very theoretical, he and a few other billionaires scraped together $1 billion to create a nonprofit dedicated to saving humanity.

Sci-fi magazine stops accepting submissions after it found more than 500 stories received from contributors were AI-generated

In a story that they could have predicted in their own work, a science fiction magazine has asked people to stop sending stories generated by artificial intelligence in the latest sign of apps like ChatGPT gaining prominence.

Clarkesworld, an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy publication based out of New Jersey, has temporarily cut off all submissions because they’ve gotten too many written by AI.

‘Political propaganda’: China clamps down on access to ChatGPT

Chinese regulators have reportedly clamped down on access to ChatGPT, as Chinese tech firms and universities push forward with developing domestic artificial intelligence bots.

ChatGPT, the popular discussion bot created by US-based OpenAI, is not officially available in China, where the government operates a comprehensive firewall and strict internet censorship. But many had been accessing it via VPNs, and some third-party developers had produced programs that gave some access to the service.

University used ChatGPT to console students after shootings

A university in Tennessee has apologised for sending students a message about a mass shooting written by a chatbot.

The office of equity, diversity and inclusion at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College in Nashville told students: “One of the key ways to promote a culture of care on our campus is through building strong relationships with one another” — apparently intended to comfort them after three people were shot dead at Michigan State University last week.

ChatGPT, Bing, DALL-E: AI comes for the creative class

Artists fight back as deep-learning models threaten their livelihoods.

When Jason M. Allen entered a fine art competition at the Colorado State Fair, he wasn’t just trying to win — he wanted to make a point.

Allen is a video game designer. His submission, titled “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial,” was a baroque phantasmagoria depicting three gowned figures illuminated by the light of a large open window. After the artwork took first place, in August 2022, Allen posted about how it had been created using Midjourney, an artificial intelligence program capable of converting textual descriptions into full-blown images. Allen said he had made it clear when he submitted the piece that it had been created using the AI tool.

ChatGPT AI robots writing church sermons causing hell for pastors

Among sermon writers, there is fascination – and unease – over the fast-expanding abilities of artificial-intelligence chatbots. For now, the evolving consensus among clergy is this: Yes, they can write a passably competent sermon. But no, they can’t replicate the passion of actual preaching.

“It lacks a soul – I don’t know how else to say it,” said Hershael York, a pastor in Kentucky who also is dean of the school of theology and a professor of Christian preaching at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

‘Liberal’ ChatGPT is censoring the The Post’s Hunter Biden coverage, too

The popular new artificial intelligence service ChatGPT refused to write a story about Hunter Biden in the style of the New York Post — but gladly spit out a CNN-like puff piece protective of the president’s embattled son.

It is the most recent example of the futuristic AI’s liberal bias, which seems to have been programmed in by creator OpenAI.

When asked to write a story about Hunter on Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT responded, “I cannot generate content that is designed to be inflammatory or biased.”

Bill Gates: ChatGPT Is an Historic Tech Moment

The release of the chatbot ChatGTP in November 2022 has made the once science-fiction-esque and frightening potential of artificial intelligence an everyday reality.

The tool is only a chatbot, a type of software already widely used that can produce texts in interaction with humans, usually through the internet. Most internet users have already interacted with many websites—using chatbots—to answer basic customer questions, for example.

But ChatGTP has caused a stir through its uncannily intelligent abilities. It can write poems, jokes, and intricate paragraphs so well that it is usually impossible to tell that a machine produced it.

AI song generators threaten ‘lasting harm’ to artists, warns Universal

Musicians face an artificial intelligence nightmare from the rise of ChatGPT-like song generators, the world’s biggest record label has said.

Universal Music warned that AI-created music threatened “widespread and lasting harm” to artists and threatened a Napster-style crisis without robust copyright protections.

So-called generative AI models have already caused uproar among illustrators for using human-produced work without compensation to create art. The rise of ChatGPT, which produces authentic-seeming poems and essays, has caused concern from publishers about a tidal wave of AI-generated material.

It won’t take much to top the crap that passes for modern pop music.
