We are often blind to the truth due to our preconceived notions and beliefs. "We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe." This can be seen in a variety of scenarios in everyday life. For example, if a person holds a negative view on a particular topic, they are likely to only pay attention to information that confirms those beliefs while discounting any evidence that may contradict it.

Know-it-all chatbots landed with a bang last year, convincing one engineer that machines had become sentient, spreading panic that industries could be wiped out, and creating fear of a cheating epidemic in schools and universities. Alarm among educators has reached fever pitch in recent weeks over ChatGPT, an easy-to-use artificial intelligence tool trained on billions of words and a ton of data from the web. It can write a half-decent essay and answer many common classroom questions, sparking a fierce debate about the very future of traditional education. New York City's education department banned ChatGPT on its networks because of "concerns about negative impacts on student learning". "While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills," said the department's Jenna Lyle.

You may have heard the news of ChatGPT fooling professors. Recently, it bamboozled scientists with convincing AI papers. The reports came from a preprint from the scientific bioRxiv server in December 2022. Researchers asked ChatGPT to create 50 abstracts based on several scientific sources. They found that medical researchers struggled to distinguish the fakes from the originals.

When ChatGPT--the ingenious, garrulous, and occasionally unhinged chatbot from OpenAI--was asked this week how much the company behind it is worth, its responses included: "It is likely that its worth is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more." Microsoft, which is rumored to be weighing a $10 billion investment in OpenAI on top of an earlier $1 billion commitment, is betting that the company is worth a lot more--despite the fact neither ChatGPT nor other AI models made by OpenAI are yet raking in huge amounts of cash. OpenAI has built several impressive and attention-grabbing demos and powers a popular autocomplete function for coders offered by Microsoft's GitHub. But despite the hype swirling around its technology, the startup hasn't created a breakout, highly lucrative product or business. Cham compares the current situation to the early days of the Internet, when some obscure but evocative demos turned out to precede a sea change in the workings of software, tech companies, and wider society.

DALL-E is a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model developed by OpenAI that can generate images from textual descriptions.

Robert Lepenies, the president of Karlshochschule International University in Karlsruhe, wants to integrate artificial intelligence into seminar teaching. In an interview - which c't conducted with him via e-mail - he argues for a new relationship between man and machine. Lepenies: There have been studies on the fact that even experts can't tell the difference between human and artificial expertise. For example, the philosophers Eric Schwitzgebel, Anna Strasser and Matthew Crosby conducted an experiment in which they asked people whether they could recognize which answers to profound philosophical questions came from the philosopher Daniel Dennett and which from GPT-3. Even Dennett experts had a hard time distinguishing GPT-3 texts from Dennett's work (The Computerized Philosopher: Can You Distinguish Daniel Dennett from a Computer?).

Could the new and wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT convincingly produce fake abstracts that fool scientists into thinking those studies are the real thing? That was the question worrying Northwestern Medicine physician-scientist Dr. Catherine Gao when she designed a study--collaborating with University of Chicago scientists--to test that theory. Yes, scientists can be fooled, their new study reports. Blinded human reviewers--when given a mix real and falsely generated abstracts--could only spot ChatGPT generated abstracts 68% of the time. The reviewers also incorrectly identified 14% of real abstracts as being AI generated.

Intuitive artificially intelligent entities such as Chat GPT bots will play key roles in tomorrow's Web3 and metaverse worlds It is said that the metaverse will be part of the next cultural evolution of humans, giving us unprecedented access to information, free communication, peer-to-peer trustless payments and contracts, and realise lifestyles that are unattainable for many in the real world. Although the metaverse is still a mostly unrealised concept, it is likely to be populated by AI entities that can interact with humans (making the metaverse more user-friendly), find and repair system bugs, and act as general caretakers. Recent years have seen giant steps forward in artificial intelligence (AI) research, and the emergence of products such as ChatGPT from the US AI company OpenAI are bringing AI technology to the masses. This article will look at the potential roles of AI in the metaverse, as well as the threats AI may bring and how they can be circumvented. First, we will introduce the concepts of the metaverse and Web3.

Microsoft is discussing a potential $10 billion investment in ChatGPT founder OpenAI that will boost its value to $29 billion. The AI tool has dazzled many people worldwide due to its uncanny ability to generate text while mimicking human speech. According to Reuters, OpenAI told investors last month it expects $200 million in revenue in 2023 and a billion dollars by 2024. Most people know Microsoft as the creator of MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. Meanwhile, OpenAI is an artificial intelligence laboratory made popular by ChatGPT.

This headline raises an even more serious question: Can AI lie? Artificial intelligence can hide facts from humans as we know them today. How far can the lie go if it is true? With all the data they've been trained on, can we trust these systems? All this and more will be answered as we examine a tweet that alerted us about this possibility. A tech journalist, Alex Kantrowitz, posted a tweet few days ago that said, "ChatGPT gets training updates and lying about it."
