The artificial intelligence incursion has made its way to the App Store. BlueMail, an app that uses AI to write emails and manage people's calendars, was set to release an update to its service that would utilize OpenAI's popular ChatGPT engine. Apple, citing ChatGPT's ability to spew out nearly any kind of text imaginable, blocked BlueMail's updates out of concern that it could generate text that would be offensive or unfit for minors. It just stopped the app maker from publishing the update without content restriction filters. Still, BlueMail's developer has protested the move, saying Apple was stifling its innovation efforts.

Generative AI like ChatGPT is truly exciting, and it's easy to be seduced by the technology's potential to produce, well, almost any sort of output. The opportunity in generative AI is enormous but requires careful analysis of where the best applications lie. Healthcare, in particular, requires this assessment – this isn't an industry known for fast change, and the risks of inappropriately deploying new technology can be huge. For instance, consider the hype around IBM's Watson Health a few years ago; this AI was going to figure out complex cancers! It didn't, and it was sold off cheaply in parts last year.

Generative AI such as ChatGPT have been carrying on interactive online conversations meant to ... [ ] manipulate humans, raising serious concerns, We've all dealt with those manipulative personalities that try to convince us that up is down and aim to gaslight us into the most unsettling of conditions. Their rhetoric can be overtly powerful and overwhelming. You can't decide what to do. Should you merely cave in and hope that the verbal tirade will end? But if you are played into doing something untoward, acquiescing might be quite endangering. Trying to verbally fight back is bound to be ugly and can devolve into even worse circumstances. It can be a no-win situation, that's for sure. The manipulator wants and demands that things go their way. For them, the only win possible is that you completely capitulate to their professed bidding. They will incessantly verbally pound away with their claims of pure logic and try to make it appear as though they are occupying the high ground. You are made to seem inconsequential and incapable. Any number of verbal tactics will be launched at you, over and over again. Repetition and steamrolling are the insidious tools of those maddening manipulators. Turns out that we not only need to be on the watch for humans that are manipulators, but we now also need to be wary of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that does likewise. AI can be a masterful manipulator of humans. When it comes to AI, there is the hoped-for AI For Good, while in the same breath, we are faced with AI For Bad. I've previously covered in my columns that AI is considered to have a dual-use capacity, see my analysis at the link here. Seems that if we can make AI that can generate amazingly fluent and upbeat essays, the same capacity can be readily switched over to produce tremendously wrongful bouts of fluently overbearing manipulations. This is especially impactful when experienced in an interactive conversational dialogue with the AI. All of this happens via a type of AI known as Generative AI.

At first glance, ChatGPT - the revolutionary chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI) - appears to have all the answers. But some users have discovered that this is not the case, and the software will refuse to respond to certain prompts. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has installed limitations to ensure that it will'refuse inappropriate requests' and'warn or block certain types of unsafe content'. Despite this, some hackers have found a way to bypass this filter system to access responses it would normally be prevented from generating. This'jailbreak' version of ChatGPT can be brought about by a special prompt called DAN - or'Do Anything Now'.

There should also be real value in more personalized AI models. I've spent the past year or so writing a daily journal in an app called Mem, which offers its own set of ChatGPT-based features to premium subscribers. Eventually, I imagine I'll be able to ask my journal all sorts of questions in natural language. What was I worried about last summer? When's the last time I saw my friend Brian?

Facebook owner Meta is setting up a new "generative AI" product group as it strives to claw back revenues amid tough market conditions. It comes after investment in the so-called Metaverse--which is yet to pay off--and Apple's privacy changes that impact Facebook's ability to track users for advertising purposes. As ChatGPT continues to dominate headlines, tech companies are accelerating their focus on AI. Microsoft has announced its aim to integrate chatbot capabilities into Bing, while Google is in the midst of launching a chatbot called Bard.

New Delhi [India], February 23 (ANI/PNN): KnowDis and IIT Delhi's Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence are collaborating to develop cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence models that can discover potential antibodies for treating various kinds of diseases. The collaboration involves two renowned professors from the School of AI at IIT Delhi, Dr Sayan Ranu, and Dr Anoop Krishnan. The collaboration aims to strengthen the AI capabilities of KnowDis, making it a one-of-a-kind team capable of making crucial advancements in the field of drug design. The confluence of KnowDis and IIT Delhi brings together a multidisciplinary team to accelerate drug discovery with AI. The collaboration will add to the existing collaboration that KnowDis has with Dr Gaurav Goel from the Chemical Engineering Department at IIT Delhi.

There's this odd feeling that starts at the back of the neck. It feels like the hairs are raising up slightly. The first time I felt it was in the mid-70s. I was in high school. I was sitting in front of an ASR-33 teletype machine and I hit something, probably the RE-TURN key. That's how it was spelled.
