If you’re burnt out over generative AI hype, you’re not alone. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said GPT-4, his company’s latest and greatest AI model, actually kinda sucks in an interview with Lex Fridman published on Monday. In fact, Altman is hoping GPT-5 can live up to all the hype.I Gave Sam Altman a Copy of My Eyeballs | Future Tech“I think it kind of sucks,” Altman said when asked about GPT-4 and its most impressive capabilities. “I think it is our job to live a few years in the future and remember that the tools we have now…

If you’ve been struggling to figure out how to actually use AI in your everyday life, you’re not alone. Many of us are feeling lost about AI, but the practical use cases of ChatGPT are not as obvious as you might think.

A new paper found that large language models from OpenAI, Meta, and Google, including multiple versions of ChatGPT, can be covertly racist against African Americans when analyzing a critical part of their identity: how they speak.No Google AI Search, I Don’t Need to Learn About the “Benefits of Slavery” Published in early March, the paper studied how large language models, or LLMs, carried out tasks, such as pairing people to certain jobs, based on whether the text analyzed was in African American English or Standard…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr once said that artificial intelligence “could kill us all” if it were used improperly. Still, concern about the misuse of AI apparently hasn’t stopped RFK Jr. from arguably misusing it. Instead, the long-shot presidential candidate, who has a lot of kooky ideas, allowed some of those kooky ideas to be ingested into his campaign’s AI-fueled chatbot. Until recently, the chatbot was known for regurgitating many of Kennedy’s more controversial talking points, including his views on vaccine safety. No…

Anthropic, a startup born out of OpenAI defectors, claims its new chatbot, Claude 3, has broken new ground for the AI world.

Anthropic released three tiers – Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku – which range from most to least capable.Why is Everyone Suing AI Companies? | Future Tech“Opus shows us the outer limits of what’s possible with generative AI,” said Anthropic in a blog…

The government's missive that all artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) must seek "explicit permission of the government" before being deployed for users on the Indian internet, has sent shock waves among companies developing LLMs, especially startups who feel it is "anti-innovation and not forward-looking".Several companies building LLMs, venture capitalists as well as experts told ET such directions can kill startups trying to build in this "hyper-active" space in which India is already late to…

For chatbots, math is the final frontier. AI language models generate responses using statistics, spitting out an answer that’s mostly likely to be satisfying. That works great when the goal is a passable sentence, but it means chatbots struggle with questions like math where there’s exactly one right answer. Why is Everyone Suing AI Companies? | Future TechA growing body of evidence suggests you can get better results if you give AI some friendly encouragement, but a new study pushes that strange reality further.…
