Americans reveled if they would let the AI dating website Keeper set them up on blind date. The website asks users a list of questions before matching them. NEW YORK CITY – New Yorkers revealed whether they would let an artificial intelligence-based program set them up on a date. "Would I ever do it? If got desperate, but I hope it would never get to that point," Nick, from New York, told Fox News.

To get her start in Hollywood, Chivonne Michelle studied acting at New York University. But what helped her break into the industry and gave her the key training she needed was working on set as a background actor. Today, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology threatens to put those "entry level and working class" Hollywood jobs at risk, Michelle and other striking actors say. AI is threatening jobs across many sectors, from doctors and lawyers to data scientists and journalists. But Hollywood actors and writers, currently united in their first "double strike" in more than 60 years, are fighting back in an unprecedented way, vowing to protect every worker in their industry, from the extras to the stars, from being replaced by new technologies.

As he sat down across from me, my patient had a rueful expression on his face. "I had a date," he announced. For years, he'd shared tales of romantic hopes dashed. But before I could ask him what went wrong, he continued, "So I asked a chatbot what I should do." Simulations of human conversation powered by artificial intelligence--chatbots--have been much in the news, but I'd never had a patient tell me they'd actually used one for advice before.

Misinformation on YouTube is a significant concern, necessitating robust detection strategies. In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology for video classification, focusing on the veracity of the content. We convert the conventional video classification task into a text classification task by leveraging the textual content derived from the video transcripts. We employ advanced machine learning techniques like transfer learning to solve the classification challenge. Our approach incorporates two forms of transfer learning: (a) fine-tuning base transformer models such as BERT, RoBERTa, and ELECTRA, and (b) few-shot learning using sentence-transformers MPNet and RoBERTa-large. We apply the trained models to three datasets: (a) YouTube Vaccine-misinformation related videos, (b) YouTube Pseudoscience videos, and (c) Fake-News dataset (a collection of articles). Including the Fake-News dataset extended the evaluation of our approach beyond YouTube videos. Using these datasets, we evaluated the models distinguishing valid information from misinformation. The fine-tuned models yielded Matthews Correlation Coefficient>0.81, accuracy>0.90, and F1 score>0.90 in two of three datasets. Interestingly, the few-shot models outperformed the fine-tuned ones by 20% in both Accuracy and F1 score for the YouTube Pseudoscience dataset, highlighting the potential utility of this approach -- especially in the context of limited training data.

Some redditors seem very excited about a new World of Warcraft feature called Glorbo, which some believe will "make a huge impact on the game." Their palpable enthusiasm for Glorbo caught the attention of a blog named The Portal, which publishes "gaming content powered by Z League," an app that aims to bring gamers together. The Portal appears to be using AI to scrape Reddit posts and turn them into content. Redditor u/kaefer_kriegerin noticed that The Portal was seemingly turning discussions from some gaming subreddits into blog posts. They decided to try and trick the content farm into covering a fake WoW feature. The ruse was a success.

Ever wondered why the Apple logo has a bite taken out of it? Plenty of theories have emerged about how the iconic logo came to be, with some suggesting it was a nod to Sir Isaac Newton, who famously formulated gravitational theory when an apple fell on his head. Others think it could be linked to British mathematician Alan Turing who cracked the German enigma code during World War II. The codebreaker was convicted for having a homosexual relationship, and was later found dead from cyanide poisoning, with his body famously laying next to a half eaten apple. MailOnline reveals the true reason behind the now-famous logo - and it's much simpler than you probably think.

AI can now place us inside South Park episodes – should we be worried? This week, Devindra and Deputy Editor Nathan Ingraham chat with Edward Saatchi, the CEO of The Simulation, about his company's new AI technology that can generate TV episodes, movies and more. We preview a test South Park episode featuring Devindra, and discuss if this technology is actually a good thing for creatives. Also, Editor at Large James Trew joins to discuss his piece on AI-powered immortality. And to keep the sci-fi theme going, Devindra chats with the director and writer of Netflix's They Cloned Tyrone, Juel Taylor and Tony Rettenmaier.

"Barbenheimer"--the collective celebration around the release of the Barbie and Oppenheimer movies--has collided with the wedding industrial complex. According to a Variety story this week, people are planning on taking their friends and family, prenuptials, to see the two films as a double feature. People who aren't getting married are planning similar movie-watching marathons. It also feels like a sign of the end times. This sense of dread doesn't stem from the public's collective yearning to absorb stories about a Mattel doll and the development of atomic weapons at the same time.

Nicki Minaj wanted to delete the internet--and with good reason. In July, a deepfake video of her went viral on Twitter. "What in the AI shapeshifting cloning conspiracy theory is this?!?!!" she tweeted after a fan brought the clip to her attention. A Billboard-charting rapper known for her sometimes extreme outspokenness online, Minaj had not given consent to use her likeness and responded with a characteristic blend of fury and farce. "I hereby abolish the internet. Effective @ 0900 military time tomorrow morning," she continued.
