"Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AI Guardian investigation finds almost 7,000 proven cases of cheating - and experts says these are tip of the iceberg"

"The reported ownership of LLM group's essays in the interviews was low. The Search Engine group had strong ownership, but lesser than the Brain-only group. The LLM group also fell behind in their ability to quote from the essays they wrote just minutes prior. As the educational impact of LLM use only begins to settle with the general population, in this preliminary study we demonstrate the pressing matter to explore further any potential changes in learning skills based on the results of our study.

"That's because Facebook cracks down on my son, the Bach lover, but seems to allow rampant copyright violations on their reels. These endlessly scrolling videos earn billions of dollars for Silicon Valley-because of their addictive interface. But the apps need an equally endless source of video clips. This forces them to recycle copyrighted material. I'm referring to movie clips, extracts from old TV series, sports highlights, comedy routines, bits of talk show interviews, filmed music performances, and other snippets culled from various entertainment sources."

""The rebirth of longform runs counter to everything media experts are peddling. They are all trying to game the algorithm. But they're making a huge mistake….""

"Why does this keep happening? Whether on purpose or by accident, Grok has been instructed or trained to reflect the style and rhetoric of a virulent bigot. Musk and xAI did not respond to a request for comment; while Grok was palling around with neo-Nazis, Musk was posting on X about Jeffrey Epstein and the video game Diablo."

"Numerous players criticized the AI technology, mostly for making incorrect calls, leading to them losing points. Notably, British tennis star Emma Raducanu called out the technology for missing a ball that her opponent hit out, but instead had to be played as if it were in. On a television replay, the ball indeed looked out, The Telegraph reported.  Jack Draper, the British No. 1, also said he felt some line calls were wrong, saying he did not think the AI technology was "100 percent accurate.""

"The days of 'Googling' may be numbered. We asked Innovating with AI readers about their experience with AI search solutions, and more than 83% said they found AI-powered tools more efficient than traditional search. With the emergence of a new wave of AI search tools, an increasing number of consumers are shifting away from the traditional search experience."

"Part of this is due to misinterpretation of a much-publicized paper out of the MIT Media Lab (with authors from other institutions as well), titled "Your Brain on ChatGPT." The actual study is much less dramatic than the press coverage. It involved a small group of college students who were assigned to write essays alone, with Google, or with ChatGPT (and no other tools). The students who used ChatGPT were less engaged and remembered less about their essays than the group without AI. Four months later, nine of the ChatGPT users were asked to write the essay again without ChatGPT, and they performed worse than those who had not used AI initially (though were required to use AI in the new experiment) and showed less EEG activity when writing. There was, of course, no brain damage. Yet the more dramatic interpretation has captured our imagination because we have always feared that new technologies would ruin our ability to think: Plato thought writing would undermine our wisdom, and when cellphones came out, some people worried that not having to remember telephone numbers would make us dumber."

"From photo-editing apps to 'Instagram face', technology has radically altered the way we see ourselves. Ahead of a new exhibition at Somerset House, our critic considers the meaning of art in a digital age"
