This AI generates fake news about anything you want. Try it!

#artificialintelligence

And to demonstrate exactly how absurd the problem is, a new AI called Grover, developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the University of Washington (and spotted by AI Weirdness), allows you to enter a headline, and it will generate hundreds of words of convincing, fake text that looks like it belongs in the New York Times or on CNN. Luckily for you, the researchers put Grover's fake news generator online for anyone to try. And let me say, from personal experience, that it can create some doozies. For a test, I wrote the headline: "Why Donald Trump Eats 100 Cheeseburgers a Day." This is an article that even I, a journalist, don't know how I'd go about writing.


Genius kid fakes letter from school claiming he needs more time for 'video game class'

Mashable

Life is hard if you're a kid who loves video games. You can't play while you're at school and then when you get home you have to get all your homework done, eat your dinner, and do your chores before you are allowed to play. SEE ALSO: Insults are bad but this little kid's'Overwatch' diss is too perfect Seven-year-old Nathan was feeling this pain so he decided to take matters into his own hands. To give himself more time for video games each night, he wrote a very serious note from "the school" about how he wasn't doing well in "VIDEO GAME CLASS." Then passed the note along to his mom, Lori, who then posted it on Reddit.


A search engine could become the first true artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Everything in our online life is indexed. Every idle tweet, status update, or curious search query feeds the Google database. The tech giant recently bought a leading artificial-intelligence research outlet, and it already has a robotics company on its books. So what if Google, or Facebook, or any of the companies we entrust our information to, wanted to use our search histories to create an artificially intelligent robot? Writer and director Alex Garland's new film, Ex Machina, looks at just that.
