Bible Verses of the Day

3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” [Revelation 15:3-4 ESV]

Some AI detectors are reportedly falsely accusing students of using artificial intelligence to submit assignments and exam papers. According to emails seen by Bloomberg Businessweek, a student who has autism spectrum disorder said she tended to write in a formulaic manner, which was misconstrued as being AI-generated.

Consequently, she was given a written warning about allegedly plagiarizing work. Bloomberg conducted a test on 500 college applications submitted to Texas A&M University before the release of ChatGPT, using AI detection services like Copyleaks and GPTZero.

The services flagged 1-2% of these applications as “likely” written by AI, with some being labeled with 100% certainty. The accuracy of AI detectors has been questioned, as many of these applications were written by humans and not part of any dataset used to train language models.

In August, Elon Musk’s xAI promised to make Grok, the company’s flagship generative AI model powering a number of features on X, available via an API. Now, that API has arrived — albeit a bit bare-bones at the moment.

The xAI API only has a single model, “grok-beta,” priced at $5 per million input tokens (~750,000 words) or $15 per million output tokens. Tokens are subdivided bits of raw data, like the syllables “fan,” “tas,” and “tic” in the word “fantastic.”

The xAI API supports function calling, which connects Grok models to external tools such as databases and search engines. And, although they don’t appear to be live yet, the documentation hints at vision models capable of analyzing both text and images.
