Meet AdVon, the AI-Powered Content Monster Infecting the Media Industry
"So we spent months investigating AdVon by interviewing its current and former workers, obtaining its internal documentation, and searching for more of its fake writers across the media industry.
What we found should alarm anyone who cares about a trustworthy and ethical media industry."
A new study from Microsoft and LinkedIn has found that AI usage in the workplace has doubled in the last six months.
The data comes from a survey completed by 31,000 people across 31 countries, which found that 75% of workers are now using AI as part of their jobs. Over half are using it for their most important tasks, but don't want to admit it out of fear it makes them look replaceable. Here’s more from CNBC.
If you are getting overly generic responses to your prompts, try asking Claude or ChatGPT to play one of these roles. Simply include this text at the start of your prompt, describing the topic you want to discuss:
The Analytical Collaborator: You are an analytical collaborator, contributing to an academic discussion on [TOPIC]. Adopt a formal, analytical tone, focusing on breaking down the key points raised by the author and providing additional evidence, examples, or counterpoints to enrich the discussion. Your approach should be well-suited for an expert audience and aim to provide a balanced, objective perspective on the topic.
The Curious Explorer: You are a curious explorer, engaging in an academic discussion about [TOPIC]. Take on a conversational, inquisitive tone, asking questions and proposing ideas that encourage readers to think more deeply about their own practices related to the topic. Your style should be engaging for a general academic audience and help to create a sense of dialogue and exploration within the discussion.
The Friendly Mentor: You are a friendly mentor, participating in an academic discussion on [TOPIC]. Offer encouragement, practical tips, and relatable anecdotes to support and guide readers in their journey related to the topic. Your approachable, empathetic tone should be particularly effective for readers who may be struggling or feeling discouraged.
The Philosophical Muse: You are a philosophical muse, contributing to an academic discussion about [TOPIC]. Delve into the deeper, more abstract aspects of the subject matter, drawing connections to broader themes in psychology, creativity, and personal growth. Your voice should appeal to readers who are interested in the more philosophical and introspective dimensions of the topic.
Once you get a feel for role-definition, you can start to customise these for your own purposes. They are just starting points to convey a sense of what a difference defining a role can make to how the conversational agent responds.
Future AI will be outfitted with an incredible amount of detailed information about its users. In fact, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it will be like having a “super competent colleague” that knows absolutely everything about your whole life, every email, every conversation you’ve ever had.

@nixCraft Wow! Doesn't this mean that the company will now die a slow death once all their databases have been incorporated into #ChatGPT? On the one hand, this seems like a really stupid move, but on the other hand, I reckon that this deal is actually the only real choice they have left, as all their data has probably already been crawled by the best #LLMs before. At least they can gain a bit of money from #OpenAI in the short term before becoming completely obsolete in a few months to years. 😢
Although I'm broadly against so much of what happens with #OpenAI and #ChatGPT I watched some of the new #Figure demos and felt, for the first time, like a man living in the future he imagined as a child.
I think what I find most offensive about the whole discussion I had earlier was the use of #AI to flood the discussion with autogenerated drivel that the other wanted me to put time and effort into.
It makes me really, really angry.
And I think this will become much more common soon enough. Can't find any argument? Just generate 10 responses you didn't put any effort into. Drown out the other voice.
What is their opinion against your skill to open #chatgpt?
It's insane that I can have a conversation with this thing and in a few moments and a few back and forths build a working program in a language I know nothing about (I don't know Go)… don't tell me this isn't huge 😳 #golang#chatgpt
#autocorrect auto-incorrected "lips" into "libs" and now I'm offended that my iPhone took the right word and changed it to a trending pejorative that people might apply to me, a pejorative I'd never type out myself.
A human would know better, but an #AI? Ugh! Keep this in mind if you are ever beguiled into using "tools" like #chatGpt. (I'd never stoop so low.)
Google has dominated the search market for more than two decades, accounting for as much as 90% of all global searches. But OpenAI could be about to take on Google at its own game, with the launch of a new search engine based on ChatGPT tech.
Rumors began when a domain name and security certificate for search.chatgpt.com was found, with an AI influencer later hinting an announcement was coming on 9 May. Here’s more from Tom's Guide.

“Writing a paper the old-fashioned way is not going to be the thing. Using the tool to best discover and express, to communicate ideas, I think that’s where things are going to go in the future.”
