Elon Musk reacts to woke Harry Potter-themed story: 'Twitter has at least 10 million Wokeys'
Rogan questioned what was preventing someone from tracking others if Musk gave in to the account holder's demand for money or a job at Tesla. Elon Musk responded to an AI-generated Harry Potter story about "Wokey the house elf," joking that Twitter has its fair share of woke users. Mosaic web browser co-author Marc Andreessen fed ChatGPT -- a popular new artificial intelligence service -- a prompt to write a "Broadway stage play" set in the Harry Potter universe. The cast included the wizard Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione. But the fourth character, "Wokey the house elf," attracted the most attention on Twitter.
Are AI Tools a Risk to Human Writers? Probably
Wondering if AI (Artificial Intelligence) is going to replace you? Since AI is going to replace many jobs in the future. AI has the potential to automate many tasks and improve the efficiency and productivity of many business operations. This could lead to the displacement of certain types of human labor, particularly those that involve routine or predictable patterns. AI is shaping the way we live, communicate and solve problems.
2022 in Review: AI, IT Armies, and Poems about Food - The New Stack
After all the dreaming, our technologies can still take unexpected turns, amazing and alarming us. As we agonize through another year about whether, as the Christmas carol says, "the wrong shall fail, the right prevail," I've traditionally started each new year with what I've called "a massive MapReduce on the year gone by" -- a lively lightning round of overlooked moments, in a final closing ceremony for the year gone by. But in asking what was truly significant about 2022, are we also highlighting events that foreshadow things to come? Besides technology playing a role in the world's geopolitical conflicts, there was also one unmistakable trend in 2022 that was both haunting and hilarious. It was the advances in both the performance and the accessibility of AI technology.

Student Builds ChatGPT Detection App to Fight AI Plagiarism
Educators concerned that the viral popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT will lead to waves of generic-sounding, mostly AI-written essays might have reason to relax. Princeton student Edward Tian devoted a portion of his holiday to writing GPTZero -- an application that can identify text authored by artificial intelligence. Tian posted a couple of proof-of-concept videos on January 2nd demonstrating GPTZero's capabilities. First, it determined that a human authored a New Yorker article; then, it correctly identified ChatGPT as the author of a Facebook post. GPTZero scores text on its "perplexity and burstiness" – referring to how complicated it is and how randomly it is written.
Witscript 3: A Hybrid AI System for Improvising Jokes in a Conversation
Previous papers presented Witscript and Witscript 2, AI systems for improvising jokes in a conversation. Witscript generates jokes that rely on wordplay, whereas the jokes generated by Witscript 2 rely on common sense. This paper extends that earlier work by presenting Witscript 3, which generates joke candidates using three joke production mechanisms and then selects the best candidate to output. Like Witscript and Witscript 2, Witscript 3 is based on humor algorithms created by an expert comedy writer. Human evaluators judged Witscript 3's responses to input sentences to be jokes 44% of the time. This is evidence that Witscript 3 represents another step toward giving a chatbot a humanlike sense of humor.
Multi-Genre Music Transformer -- Composing Full Length Musical Piece
In the task of generating music, the art factor plays a big role and is a great challenge for AI. Previous work involving adversarial training to produce new music pieces and modeling the compatibility of variety in music (beats, tempo, musical stems) demonstrated great examples of learning this task. Though this was limited to generating mashups or learning features from tempo and key distributions to produce similar patterns. Compound Word Transformer was able to represent music generation task as a sequence generation challenge involving musical events defined by compound words. These musical events give a more accurate description of notes progression, chord change, harmony and the art factor. The objective of the project is to implement a Multi-Genre Transformer which learns to produce music pieces through more adaptive learning process involving more challenging task where genres or form of the composition is also considered. We built a multi-genre compound word dataset, implemented a linear transformer which was trained on this dataset. We call this Multi-Genre Transformer, which was able to generate full length new musical pieces which is diverse and comparable to original tracks. The model trains 2-5 times faster than other models discussed.
List of Artificial Intelligence Movies to Watch in 2023 - MarkTechPost
Since the beginning of cinema, artificial intelligence has been a recurring theme, enthralling (and frequently terrifying) audiences with the idea of sentient robots capable of matching humanity's distinctive qualities like consciousness and the capacity for emotion. Potential technical developments have been envisioned in various ways over the years. However, science fiction films have also raised issues about the moral, ethical, and societal effects of using technology like AI. The best artificial intelligence movies available to view in 2023 are listed in this article. So let's get started in any order: The novelist and screenwriter Alex Garland's first feature film, "Ex Machina," is a rare and much-welcome departure from that trend. It begins as an unsettling thriller about a young programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) who is drawn to a charismatic Dr. Frankenstein figure (Oscar Isaac).
