Bible Verses of the Day

2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. [Matthew 18:2-4, ESV]

Artificial intelligence continues to cause concerns for many people, from fears of job losses to the death of the internet due to false information hallucinated by AI bots. But it's starting to look like the biggest threat to the reputation of the new tech is not AI itself but the rushed implementation by the big tech incumbents.

Google, Microsoft, Meta and now Apple have been tripping over themselves in a frenzy to launch AI-driven products that show they're at the vanguard. The latter's suspension of its disastrous AI notification summaries are the latest example of a botched headline feature.

If you’re like any other AI aficionado, you’ve probably been testing all the latest image generators on the market. You may have noticed a perceptible change over the past few months, particularly in how hyper-realistic these images have become—almost eerily so.

While major tech firms like OpenAI, Meta, and Microsoft face multiple lawsuits over the use of written content, including cases brought by authors and organizations like The New York Times, less attention has been given to the use of images of actual people. AI image generators are AI tools that can whip up images in seconds based on just a few words.

But while they’re great at producing high-definition visuals, they’re also raising big concerns for public figures, whose resemblances are being used in ways they might not have agreed to.
