  • Florida boy, 14, killed himself after falling in love with ‘Game of Thrones’ AI chatbot: lawsuit

    NY Post ^ | 10/23/2024 | Emily Crane
    A 14-year-old Florida boy killed himself after a lifelike “Game of Thrones” chatbot he’d been messaging for months on an artificial intelligence app sent him an eerie message telling him to “come home” to her, a new lawsuit filed by his grief-stricken mom claims. Sewell Setzer III committed suicide at his Orlando home in February after becoming obsessed and allegedly falling in love with the chatbot on Character.AI — a role-playing app that lets users engage with AI-generated characters, according to court papers filed Wednesday. The ninth-grader had been relentlessly engaging with the bot “Dany” — named after the HBO...
  • October Surprise! Woke Google AI Gemini Caught Shilling for Hezbollah

    Google artificial intelligence chatbot Gemini displayed its disdain for the Jewish nation of Israel even as it is in the thick of a war on multiple fronts, further revealing that it’s not just Google Search, but even the platform’s AI that is skewed sharply to the left. Gemini ran cover for Hezbollah by refusing to directly define what the organization is and even went as far as providing reasons why Hezbollah could be viewed positively. No, you’re not misreading that.

    The Grok chatbot on the X social media platform has been updated following a letter sent to platform owner Elon Musk from five secretaries of state demanding he make changes over false election information. Democrat Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon announced the change Monday, after he had been informed of the change by the social media company last week. Simon, along with four other secretaries of state, sent a letter earlier this month to Musk claiming their combined "37 million constituents were recently impacted by false information" Grok provided about the election. The AI chatbot will direct users who...

  • NYC’s AI chatbot was caught telling businesses to break the law. The city isn’t taking it down

    AP ^ | April 3, 2024 | BY JAKE OFFENHARTZ
    An artificial intelligence-powered chatbot created by New York City to help small business owners is under criticism for dispensing bizarre advice that misstates local policies and advises companies to violate the law. In responses to questions posed Wednesday, the chatbot falsely suggested it is legal for an employer to fire a worker who complains about sexual harassment, doesn’t disclose a pregnancy or refuses to cut their dreadlocks. Contradicting two of the city’s signature waste initiatives, it claimed that businesses can put their trash in black garbage bags and are not required to compost. At times, the bot’s answers veered into...

    Strikes on Russian oil refineries have a significant impact on Russia’s ability to conduct warfare. Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, Commander of U.S. Forces Europe in 2014-17, stated this during the 16th annual Kyiv Security Forum. “Of course, attacks on oil refineries have a significant impact. Russia is less able to pay for this war, and it also deprives it of the necessary fuel to continue hostilities. I would recommend ignoring the calls for an end to such attacks.” The Lieutenant General emphasized that sanctions against Russia need to be strengthened. He also added that 2024 will be the year of...

    Suumit Shah, a 31-year-old CEO of an e-commerce platform called Dukaan based in India, is getting torn to shreds online for firing 90 percent of the company's customer support staff after arguing that an AI chatbot had outperformed them. It was an unusually callous announcement that clearly didn't sit well with plenty of netizens, as Insider reports. "We had to layoff [sic] 90 percent of our support team because of this AI chatbot," he tweeted. "Tough? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely." In a lengthy Twitter thread laden with screenshots from action movies such as "iRobot" and "Limitless," Shah argued that response times...

    Two New York lawyers have been fined $5,000 in a legal first after they relied on fake research created by ChatGPT for a submission in an injury claim against Avianca airline. Judge Kevin Castel said attorneys Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca acted in bad faith by using the AI bot's submissions - some of which contained 'gibberish' - even after judicial orders questioned their authenticity. Schwartz and LoDuca had been representing Roberto Mata, who claimed his knee was injured when he was struck by a metal serving cart on an Avianca flight from El Salvador to Kennedy International Airport in...

    Fast-food giant Wendy’s is set to automate its drive-through service by employing an AI chatbot powered by Google, replacing human employees who normally take orders. One Wendy’s executive gave the chatbot high ratings, saying, “It’s at least as good as our best customer service representative, and it’s probably on average better.” The Wall Street Journal reports that fast-food chain Wendy’s plans to automate its drive-through service by using an AI chatbot and Google’s natural-language processing technology.

    Americans concerned with the left-wing bias of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools now have an alternative. A right-wing chatbot has arrived. The makers of TUSK Browser, a censorship-free web browser with an emphasis on free speech, have now rolled out a modified AI chatbot they say promotes conservative values and "aligns with patriots and independent thinkers' point of view." Dubbed GIPPR in homage to Republican icon and late President Ronald Reagan, who was nicknamed "the Gipper," the new bot runs on OpenAI's ChatGPT technology but has been trained to act like a conservative. "We believe that Conservatives are subject...

    A man has killed himself following a six-week-long conversation with artificial intelligence about the so-called climate crisis. He apparently committed suicide in his effort to try to save the planet. The report comes from Off the Press, where the case of the Belgian man was detailed. His widow, who wanted to remain anonymous, said her husband "became extremely eco-anxious when he found refuge in Eliza, an AI chatbot on an app called Chai." Thomas Rianlan, in an interview with Vice, explained, "It wouldn’t be accurate to blame EleutherAI’s model for this tragic story, as all the optimisation towards being more...

Hillai Ben-Sasson, who works as a researcher at cloud security firm Wiz, was also able to take over millions of Microsoft Office 365 accounts, which he claimed gave him access to users’ Outlook emails, calendars and MS Teams messages. “I hacked into a Bing CMS that allowed me to alter search results and take over millions of Office 365 accounts,” Mr Ben-Sasson wrote. His Wiz research team spotted the vulnerability within Microsoft’s cloud...

    Microsoft's Bing AI chatbot has gone full HAL, minus the murder (so far).While MSM journalists initially gushed over the artificial intelligence technology (created by OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT), it soon became clear that it's not ready for prime time. For example, the NY Times' Kevin Roose wrote that while he first loved the new AI-powered Bing, he's now changed his mind - and deems it "not ready for human contact."According to Roose, Bing's AI chatbot has a split personality:One persona is what I’d call Search Bing — the version I, and most other journalists, encountered in initial tests.

    Last week, Microsoft rolled out the beta version of its new chatbot that is supposed to provide some competition for ChatGPT. The bot is named “Bing” and beta users who signed up for the initial test phase are reporting some very strange and potentially disturbing behavior coming from it. One user described the bot as being “unhinged.” Others have reported that it has gotten “hostile” with them. It’s getting some of the most basic information incorrect and then starting arguments if you point out the error. Where is all of this coming from? (Fortune)The A.I.-powered chatbot—which calls itself Bing—appears to...

    A very strange conversation with the chatbot built into Microsoft’s search engine led to it declaring its love for me. Last week, after testing the new, A.I.-powered Bing search engine from Microsoft, I wrote that, much to my shock, it had replaced Google as my favorite search engine. But a week later, I’ve changed my mind. I’m still fascinated and impressed by the new Bing, and the artificial intelligence technology (created by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT) that powers it. But I’m also deeply unsettled, even frightened, by this A.I.’s emergent abilities. It’s now clear to me that in its...
