Apple has joined the AI Race by introducing its own AI tools, including the conversational chatbot Apple GPT, as part of its framework called arjax. The company aims to compete with popular AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard. While Apple is currently behind its competitors, it possesses the necessary software, hardware, and ecosystem to become a significant player in the chatbot market. A consumer product is expected to be launched next year. The question remains whether Siri will evolve into the Jarvis-like AI it was inspired by.
According to a recent study by Stanford and UC Berkeley, GPT 4 and GPT 3.5 have shown a decline in performance quality since March 2023. Comparisons between March and June 2023 reveal significant drops in accuracy across various tasks, such as finding prime numbers and writing good code. Chain of Thought reasoning also exhibited more errors. Possible reasons for this decline include OpenAI prioritizing speed and cost savings over quality, the model learning from less accurate user inputs, and potential safety measures causing the model to respond negatively to more questions. The exact cause of ChatGPT’s decline is still uncertain, prompting the OpenAI team to investigate user-reported issues shared on Twitter.
MI6, under the leadership of Chief Richard Moore, is employing AI to disrupt the flow of critical weapons to Russia. The agency uses AI to augment human judgment in global intelligence, making information more readily available. While embracing AI, the UK and its allies are committed to mastering ethical and safe AI usage. Furthermore, various intelligence agencies such as the CIA and FBI in the US are also exploring AI potential applications in their operations.
Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, and the defense sector is trying to make the best use of it. Britain’s MI6 spies are actively employing AI to hamper the supply of weapons to Russia. Richard Moore, the Chief of MI6, revealed this in a rare speech. AI could be a huge threat and a big asset at the same time. It is a unique combination of both. Britain’s secret intelligence service is trying to make the best use of it, primarily focusing on China. Moore said that MI6 is keeping track of how hostile states may misuse AI in damaging and unethical ways. Britain clearly wants to win the AI race with its allies and is facing stiff competition from China. Moore also called out Iran for fueling further conflict by supplying Russia with drone technologies. No matter how great progress AI makes, it will never replace the need for human spies, as there will always be secrets that will lie beyond the reach of AI’s nests.
Fable Studios’ AI model, Show 1, powered by GPT4, showcased its storytelling abilities by crafting a 22-minute South Park episode. Remarkably, the AI only needed a title, synopsis, and main events to initiate the creative process. The successful generation of the episode highlights the potential of AI in content creation and storytelling.
In other news, there is a discussion about the Screen Actors Guild strike and its impact on new shows. Cartman proposes a deep fake streaming service called Creepy, where existing shows and movies are replaced with deep fake versions of other famous people. While this idea is deemed illegal and unethical, Cartman sees it as a genius business opportunity. However, his friends are skeptical about its success and warn him about potential legal consequences.
