OopsGPT
Whenever AI companies present a vision for the role of artificial intelligence in the future of searching the internet, they tend to underscore the same points: instantaneous summaries of relevant information; ready-made lists tailored to a searcher's needs. They tend not to point out that generative-AI models are prone to providing incorrect, and at times fully made-up, information--and yet it keeps happening. Early this afternoon, OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, announced a prototype AI tool that can search the web and answer questions, fittingly called SearchGPT. The launch is designed to hint at how AI will transform the ways in which people navigate the internet--except that, before users have had a chance to test the new program, it already appears error prone. The tool then pulls up a list of festivals that it states are taking place in Boone this August, the first being An Appalachian Summer Festival, which according to the tool is hosting a series of arts events from July 29 to August 16 of this year. Someone in Boone hoping to buy tickets to one of those concerts, however, would run into trouble.

CogMG: Collaborative Augmentation Between Large Language Model and Knowledge Graph
Zhou, Tong, Chen, Yubo, Liu, Kang, Zhao, Jun
Large language models have become integral to question-answering applications despite their propensity for generating hallucinations and factually inaccurate content. Querying knowledge graphs to reduce hallucinations in LLM meets the challenge of incomplete knowledge coverage in knowledge graphs. On the other hand, updating knowledge graphs by information extraction and knowledge graph completion faces the knowledge update misalignment issue. In this work, we introduce a collaborative augmentation framework, CogMG, leveraging knowledge graphs to address the limitations of LLMs in QA scenarios, explicitly targeting the problems of incomplete knowledge coverage and knowledge update misalignment. The LLMs identify and decompose required knowledge triples that are not present in the KG, enriching them and aligning updates with real-world demands. We demonstrate the efficacy of this approach through a supervised fine-tuned LLM within an agent framework, showing significant improvements in reducing hallucinations and enhancing factual accuracy in QA responses. Our code and video are publicly available.

J. Lo's Netflix Smash May Be the Future of Movies--but Not in the Way Netflix Thinks
Over the long weekend, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos got a bit of a roasting for telling the New York Times' Lulu Garcia-Navarro that Barbie and Oppenheimer, whose combined global box office was 2.4 billion, "would have enjoyed just as big an audience on Netflix." It's easy to chuckle at Sarandos' comments, as it was when Zack Snyder told Joe Rogan that his movie Rebel Moon--Part One: A Child of Fire pulled in more viewers than Greta Gerwig's theatrical smash. But as Sarandos' interview was being mocked around the internet, movie theaters were experiencing their worst Memorial Day weekend in decades, led, just barely, by an underwhelming start for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Little more than a week after the prequel to the beloved Mad Max: Fury Road debuted to awestruck reviews at Cannes, the film edged out Garfield to win the weekend with a four-day haul of 32 million at the domestic box office, which was a far less robust showing than industry experts had predicted, and well short of its predecessor's 45 million opening. Meanwhile, according to Netflix's figures, more than 28 million viewers worldwide celebrated the holiday by firing up Atlas, in which Jennifer Lopez is a scientist who defends Earth from annihilation by a terrorist artificial intelligence played by Simu Liu. Common sense, and possibly even Ted Sarandos, will tell you that people don't watch Netflix's content the way they watch a movie like Barbie in a theater--or even the way they'll watch Barbie when it turns up on Netflix.
Data-Driven Portfolio Management for Motion Pictures Industry: A New Data-Driven Optimization Methodology Using a Large Language Model as the Expert
Alipour-Vaezi, Mohammad, Tsui, Kwok-Leung
Portfolio management is one of the unresponded problems of the Motion Pictures Industry (MPI). To design an optimal portfolio for an MPI distributor, it is essential to predict the box office of each project. Moreover, for an accurate box office prediction, it is critical to consider the effect of the celebrities involved in each MPI project, which was impossible with any precedent expert-based method. Additionally, the asymmetric characteristic of MPI data decreases the performance of any predictive algorithm. In this paper, firstly, the fame score of the celebrities is determined using a large language model. Then, to tackle the asymmetric character of MPI's data, projects are classified. Furthermore, the box office prediction takes place for each class of projects. Finally, using a hybrid multi-attribute decision-making technique, the preferability of each project for the distributor is calculated, and benefiting from a bi-objective optimization model, the optimal portfolio is designed.

AI ranks EVERY Christopher Nolan movie - after director took home first-ever Oscar for Oppenheimer... so do YOU agree with ChatGPT?
'Oppenheimer' swept away the competition at the 2024 Oscars, receiving seven awards including earning renowned director Christopher Nolan his first golden man statuette. While this is the filmmaker's first major award-winning film, he has been producing movies since 1998 when he made Following - and has made 10 more since. We asked ChatGPT to rank his other 11 films dating back to 26 years to the'Following' and 2010 film'Inception' up through his his 2012 film'The Dark Knight Rises' and his 2020 film'Tenet.' Renowned director Christopher Nolan took home his first Oscar for his critically acclaimed film, ' Oppenheimer.' The historic film starred Cillian Murphy as J Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos lab that designed and built the world's first atomic bomb during World War II - he is often known as the'father of the atomic bomb' Oppenheimer swept the box office when it was released on July 21, 2023, reeling in a whopping 82.4 million in opening weekend, winning Nolan Best Picture and Best Director during Sunday's award show.

'Lisa Frankenstein' fails to come to life at the box office
"Lisa Frankenstein" didn't come to life at the North American box office in its first weekend in theaters. The horror comedy written by Diablo Cody and starring Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse earned 3.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. It debuted in second place on a very slow Super Bowl weekend, behind the spy thriller "Argylle." Matthew Vaugn's "Argylle" got first place with only 6.5 million, which brings its running domestic total to 28.8 million in two weekends. The 200 million production is Apple's first major theatrical flop.

Video Game Adaptations Could Keep Beating Marvel at the Box Office in 2024
One of the more amusing TikToks that followed the announcement of the forthcoming Legend of Zelda movie riffs on a scene from the animated series Drawn Together. In it, the blue-caped Captain Hero sits in a wheelchair at the bottom of a staircase next to the text "Zelda fans when the movie was announced." One beat later, the words "it's live action" appear, and Captain Hero screams. Another beat, then "it's produced by Avi Arad (Morbius)" flashes up, this time to a louder scream. Finally, "It was written by the writer of Batman v Superman, Rise of Skywalker, and Jurassic Worlld [sic]," and Captain Hero unleashes one last wounded wail.

The 15 Best Movies of 2023--and Where to Watch Them
Put bluntly, picking the best movies of 2023 was tough. The double-whammy of Barbie and Oppenheimer gave the box office a long-overdue, post-Covid-19 jolt, only to be followed by a pair of months-long strikes in Hollywood that shut down production on nearly all the films in the works for 2024 and beyond. Even now, with the strikes over, the industry is scratching its head at what happened and what's to come. Still, amidst all the noise, 2023 provided a wealth of quietly beautiful films. Even as Hollywood fretted over the possibility of artificial intelligence upending filmmaking and giving writing and acting gigs to bots, it's impossible to watch the movies on this list and not feel such a possibility is faintly ridiculous.

Indiana Jones 5 gets slammed in reviews - but a new study says poor scores can mean big box office
Professional movie critics aren't enjoying'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,' the hotly anticipated, and allegedly final, adventure for Harrison Ford as the whip-cracking archeologist. Pre-release reviews for the picture have lead to a'rotten' 50 percent score at Rotten Tomatoes, based on 46 reviews. And the aggregation site Metacritic gives the new Indy a score of 52/100, based on 24 reviews. But those failing grades could mean that'Indy 5' is shaping up to be a runaway summer sensation -- according to researchers at University of California Davis. Pre-release reviews for'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' have lead to a'rotten' score of 50% at Rotten Tomatoes and a 52/100 at Metacritic.
