Hachette A prominent publisher is pulling a horror novel after the author was widely accused of using AI to help write the book, The New York Times reports. Hachette Book Group, one of the largest publishing houses in the US, said it will discontinue selling “Shy Girl” by Mia Ballard in the UK, where it was released last fall and sold 1,800 print copies, per data cited in the reporting. It will also cancel plans to publish a US edition, which was slated to

“This whole thing sucks, and I wish none of it had happened. It’s a really sad day! But I want to make one thing clear: we’ll keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever.

Getty / Futurism A dismal job market has given rise to a grim new cottage industry: a buzzy San Francisco-based AI company called Mercor is hiring desperate job-seekers to train AI models to do the work they can’t get hired for anymore. The company has been recruiting educated and underemployed experts while keeping them fully in the dark about whose AI they’re even training. As New York Magazine reported last month, shifts are also crushingly long, the va

Getty / Futurism Tired of your AI chatbot’s constantly-glazing therapy-speak? You could instead try striking up a conversation with “Talkie,” an old-timey AI model which is trained purely on books, newspapers, and other text sources from before the year 1930. With its thirteen billion parameters, the researchers behind Talkie say it’s the largest “vintage” model they’re aware of, capable of holding down a conversation as if truly stuck in a past when movie

Then, last month, scholars were taken aback when OpenAI claimed its AI had disproved an 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture, also dev

First he started using OpenAI’s ChatGPT to generate his Slack messages and emails. Then he mandated AI use for all employees. “He called a company-wide meeting to announce that from then on, we had to discuss with the AI prior to all meetings or before c

A new paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association this month concluded, after surveying hundreds of studies on AI in medicine, that not only is AI already an indispensable tool that supports doctors, but that it’s in many ways surpassing them, and will soon be able to care patients on its own better than a human physician could. “In cognitive medical functions, AI-alone medical care is likely to be better than physician-only or physi

Talking to an AI chatbot can feel like confiding in a mirror, a private exchange equivalent to brainstorming in a Word document. Yet when it comes to the most popular AI chatbots, that mirror is really one-way glass — and you might be shocked to learn how many different people can watch from the other side. Since the rise of easily accessible AI chatbots, untold millions of people have happily fed AI models their deepest, darkest secrets. According to a re

People who asked Google’s AI some political questions this week reported strange answers. Who won the 2020 presidential election? It was Joe Biden, of course, who beat Donald Trump. But some folks were served what amounts to a non-response.
