Large language models (LLMs) are proven to benefit a lot from retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in alleviating hallucinations confronted with knowledge-intensive questions. RAG adopts information retrieval techniques to inject external knowledge from semantic-relevant documents as input contexts. However, due to today's Internet being flooded with numerous noisy and fabricating content, it is inevitable that RAG systems are vulnerable to these noises and prone to respond incorrectly. To this end, we propose to optimize the retrieval-augmented Generator with a Adversarial Tuning Multi-agent system (ATM). The ATM steers the Generator to have a robust perspective of useful documents for question answering with the help of an auxiliary Attacker agent. The Generator and the Attacker are tuned adversarially for several iterations. After rounds of multi-agent iterative tuning, the Generator can eventually better discriminate useful documents amongst fabrications. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of ATM and we also observe that the Generator can achieve better performance compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

Natalie Portman attends the Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Jan. 22, 2024, in Paris. OUT OF A JOB: Natalie Portman has some mixed feelings about artificial intelligence. In her new interview with Vanity Fair for its annual Hollywood issue, the "Star Wars" star was asked if she felt the technology was a threat to her livelihood. THE WOKE ALPHABET: Resurfaced videos and comments from Google employees have come to light amid backlash to the company's Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES: The thought of AI replacing human intellect and creativity in the workforce can indeed be unsettling.

But who would take on the leading roles if Hollywood cast a new movie based on The Nativity? To answer this burning question, MailOnline turned to ChatGPT. While the AI bot claims that producers would have to use CGI for Baby Jesus, it suggests a host of famous faces to take on the other roles. So, do you agree with its star-studded suggestions? Who would take on the leading roles if Hollywood cast a new movie based on The Nativity? The first Nativity Scene was created back in 1223, and has been performed around the world every Christmas since.

Headlines have been singing the praises of Apple's iOS 12 update. The new operating system is "totally worth downloading"--not only does it come with features that "may improve your life," it's also faster and smarter, according to Christina Bonnington's summary here in Slate. It's also said to be more of a gossip. According to reports, Siri's latest iteration is a lot more clue-y about the stars, with celebrity trivia among its new tricks (which include shortcuts, calorie-counting support, and the weirdly targeted "motorsports results, schedules, stats and standings"). Siri, it seems, is keeping up with the Kardashians.

The sexually explicit videos haven't been stolen by hackers, or commissioned by porn studios featuring celebrity lookalikes. Instead, these clips have been made using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The images, called "deepfakes," are porn stars with their faces swapped for those of famous actresses and other celebrities. This new technology requires only three basic steps: collect a photoset of a person, choose a pornographic video to manipulate, and then wait for the computer to do the rest, although it can take more than 40 hours just for a short clip. The most popular "deepfakes" feature celebrities, but the process can work on anyone as long as there is a clear enough picture of the person.

The gorgeously handcrafted stop-motion film seems to embark on that familiar hero's journey, only to find its own way home. "As we structured the thing, we were definitely well aware of the ground we were treading on, the formulas, the templates, the classics of the genre," says "Kubo" director and Laika Entertainment chief Travis Knight. "But while'Kubo' is in that tradition, it takes a different path when it gets to the end." The film looks different as well, with its character models and environments inspired by Japanese folklore. It's not a sequel, it's not based on specific myths or books; it just feels like it is rooted deeply somewhere.
