These AIs are designed to respond to queries in multiple languages but they respond better if asked to translate the request into […]
AI images get blurrier and less realistic if AIs are trained on AI-generated data examples Rice University As the internet fills up with AI-created images of human faces and strange cat portraits, there is the growing danger of creating a self-consuming loop that consists of generative AIs mainly training on […]
Chatbots use statistical models of human language to predict what words should come next Laurence Dutton/Getty Images Artificial intelligences that are trained using text and images from other AIs, which have themselves been trained on AI outputs, could eventually become functionally useless. AIs such as ChatGPT, known as large language […]
Who are you talking to? IR Stone/Shutterstock People can only tell apart artificial intelligences from humans around 60 per cent of the time, according to a test taken by more than 1.5 million people. The results raise questions about whether the new generation of AIs should have to identify themselves […]
There is an easy way to fool ChatGPT Ascannio/Shutterstock A clever use of capital letters could be an easy way to flummox artificial intelligences like ChatGPT, letting people distinguish them from humans in conversation. The idea is reminiscent of the Turing test, first proposed by computer scientist Alan Turing in […]
The strange hands in this image are one of several giveaways that it was generated by Midjourney Cameron Butler Image-generating artificial intelligence models like DALL-E and Midjourney often have difficulty creating human hands, with many otherwise photorealistic pictures given away by hands with the wrong number of fingers or in […]
ChatGPT could be used to help train other AIs Shutterstock / Iryna Imago The artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT could automate some aspects of AI training that currently rely on people. The chatbot can accurately classify and label text data used in training AI at a cost of just a third […]
