#Apple#iPad#AI#GenerativeAI#Marketing: "Smartphones and tablets were invented to enhance our lived experience, to make it easier to leave the house and go to the beach and meet up with friends â just a good camera-computer combo that fits in your pocket.
Theoretically, our phones and tablets will become even more useful with AI, serving as virtual assistants that can do all the boring stuff we donât want to, like summarizing all your new emails and filtering out junk. Thereâs a world in the not too distant future, according to AI proponents, where you can simply tell Siri or Google âorder my usual breakfast from the coffee shop near the office, Iâll be there in 10 minutes to pick it up,â and the bot will do just that.
Weâre not there yet, however. And so far, the consumer applications for AI are simultaneously underwhelming and dystopian.
Distorted images may be harmless social media fodder, until they become propaganda spread by bad actors."
#AI#GenerativeAI#HumanRights: "You point out that AI isnât just some benign cloud floating above our heads. Itâs based on material extraction and the exploitation of workers, mainly in the global south, and itâs incredibly polluting to run. But so much of this is hidden from view. How do we go about tackling these impacts?
It is a huge question. One way of dealing with it is by looking at the question of AI adoption from an ESG [environmental, social and governance] perspective. All of the equipment that we use, the phones that weâre talking on now, are built from minerals often taken from conflict regions, including with child labour. Being aware of that hopefully can help shift societal demands and consumer habits. You can use generative AI to make a hilarious meme, but how much water and energy are you expending? Couldnât you just pick up a pencil, and might that actually be more satisfying?
Do you sometimes wish that AI could be put back on the shelf?
Itâs not an all-or-nothing equation between banning AI or embracing it into every aspect of your life. Itâs a question of choosing what we want to use AI for. Being critical and asking questions doesnât mean that youâre against AI: it just means youâre against AI hype."
I think people underestimate what the impact will be of an AI companion, at the current GPT4 level , that you can talk with without a lag of several seconds, that you can personalise, that has memory etc. GPT5 isn't necessary to change the landscape and impact of AI. #AI#ChatGPT#Chatbot
@paninid ...the iPad and iPhone also didn't solve any acute problems đ , besides big tech chatbots/assistants, i think AI companion can have enormous potential in education in addition to human teachers (which are most important ofcourse). An AI companion that helps with homework, explain difficult subjects can be extremely useful. Especially because of the normal language/conversational interface.
OpenAI closed the deal with Apple, the next Siri will probably be powered by OpenAI. Not a coincidence i think the deal was closed before the pressconference from OpenAI today about it's product updates.
Also Google I/O is tomorrow, it's a busy week for AI. #Apple#OpenAI#Siri#ChatGPT#AI
@DrMikeWatts ..it's a natural phase growing to a more mature use of the technology, it will be used in the generation/inspiration processes but the actual products will be more a combination of human and AI efforts.
That is 1 good interview with @Mer__edith at #zib2 / ORF pointing out all the perils and side effects, wrong assumptions and promises of giving up #privacy in exchange for more security.
Also: the risk of putting ourselves into full dependency of tech giants. There is a notion that #AI - which resources are controlled by a few companies - will spread so widely and quickly that no one can prevent it. This is dangerous, stupid and not even necessary.
Futurism wanted to know: What kind of a company creates fake authors for a newspaper or magazine and operates them like sock puppets? What they discovered "should alarm anyone who cares about a trustworthy and ethical media industry." https://flip.it/oxcxAC #Tech#Technology#AI#Journalism
