A 58-year-old man with a rare medical condition sees faces normally on screens and paper, but in person, they take on a demonic quality. The patient has a unique case of prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), a condition that causes peoples’ faces to appear distorted, reptilian, or otherwise inhuman.The Fujifilm X100VI is the Most Fun I’ve Had With a Camera in YearsA new study published in The Lancet describes the case, which is unique in that, to the man, the faces only appear demonic when the individuals are physically present.…

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) — often referred to as “strong AI,” “full AI,” “human-level AI” or “general intelligent action” — represents a significant future leap in the field of artificial intelligence. Unlike narrow AI, which is tailored for specific tasks, such as detecting product flaws, summarizing the news, or building you a website, AGI will be able to perform a broad spectrum of cognitive tasks at or above human levels. Addressing the press this week at Nvidia’s annual GTC…

ChatGPT is considered the pioneer of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and is certainly one of the most popular ones around. However, that does not mean it is not susceptible to errors. While there have been reports about the AI chatbot hallucinating on certain issues in the past, several users faced a new problem, with the AI chatbot spewing nonsensical responses to prompts.ChatGPT troublesOn February 20, several users reported running into issues on ChatGPT. The AI chatbot reportedly switched languages on its own,…

As marketers start using ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, Microsoft’s Bing Chat, Meta AI or their own large language models (LLM), they must concern themselves with “hallucinations” and how to prevent them. IBM provides the following definition for hallucinations: “AI hallucination is a phenomenon wherein a large language model—often a generative AI chatbot or computer vision tool—perceives patterns or objects that are nonexistent or imperceptible to human observers, creating outputs that are nonsensical or altogether…

The psychedelic drug ibogaine may be able to give brain injury sufferers some much needed help. A new, small study found that military veterans with a history of traumatic brain injury experienced a significant improvement in their symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD following treatment with ibogaine and magnesium. The findings merit larger clinical trials of the drug for these injuries and other brain conditions, the researchers say.Will You Click Windows’ New Copilot Button?Ibogaine is derived from the root of…

No one knows whether artificial intelligence will be a boon or curse in the far future. But right now, there’s almost universal discomfort and contempt for one habit of these chatbots and agents: hallucinations, those made-up facts that appear in the outputs of large language models like ChatGPT. In the middle of what seems like a carefully constructed answer, the LLM will slip in something that seems reasonable but is a total fabrication. Your typical chatbot can make disgraced ex-congressman George Santos look like Abe…

In today’s episode, Andrii and Linnea talk about what happens when generative AI hallucinations start to concern European politics, the big deal between OpenAI and Axel Springer, similarities between the industries of computer chips and tampons, and much more. In the…

Large Language Models (LLMs) — such as those used in chatbots — have an alarming tendency to hallucinate. That is, to generate false content that they present as accurate. These AI hallucinations pose, among other risks, a direct threat to science and scientific truth, researchers at the Oxford Internet Institute warn. According to their paper, published in Nature Human Behaviour, “LLMs are designed to produce helpful and convincing responses without any overriding guarantees regarding their…

Imagery is one of Google’s key focuses for its AI products. I’m not a fan of Google’s decision to take its magic editor to extremes, allowing Pixel users to create memories that never happened. That defeats the purpose of capturing key moments in our lives. Those photos do not have to be perfect as long as they’re genuine. But when it comes to images generated from scratch, that’s another topic altogether. We’ve all seen amazing AI images from products like Midjourney and Dall-E. Now, Google is about to take…
