And Henk van Ess, a global expert in using AI in investigative research, has proven how useful it can be - but it would be safe to say he does not believe it lies in starter packs. "It's like watching a supercomputer calculate how many Hobnobs fit in a Sports Direct mug, while solving climate change sits on the'to-do' list," he said. But it's the technological equivalent of using the Large Hadron Collider to heat up your Pot Noodle. "While everyone's busy generating these digital equivalents of small talk, they're missing the actually revolutionary stuff AI can do - it's just wasteful to put all that energy into creating digital fluff when we can use it for solving real-world problems."

This study explores the ability of Large Language Model (LLM) agents to detect and correct hallucinations in AI-generated content. A primary agent was tasked with creating a blog about a fictional Danish artist named Flipfloppidy, which was then reviewed by another agent for factual inaccuracies. Most LLMs hallucinated the existence of this artist. Across 4,900 test runs involving various combinations of primary and reviewing agents, advanced AI models such as Llama3-70b and GPT-4 variants demonstrated near-perfect accuracy in identifying hallucinations and successfully revised outputs in 85% to 100% of cases following feedback. These findings underscore the potential of advanced AI models to significantly enhance the accuracy and reliability of generated content, providing a promising approach to improving AI workflow orchestration.

While a picture might speak a thousand words, it only takes a few words in a text box to generate a picture these days, one that might even be considered top notch artwork. Artificial intelligence (AI) is to thank for this, or perhaps to blame. While artificial intelligence has long produced art, recent tools such as DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, have given rise to an AI generated art boom that allows even the most uncreative among us to produce intricate, abstract, or lifelike pieces by merely entering a few words into a text box. For some, the potential and possibilities of these AI tools to democratise craftsmanship and make creativity more accessible to everyone fills them with excitement, for others it fills them with dread and a moral panic about real artists being replaced by machines, an angle that is often pushed by the news media. Dillah Zakbah, creative director and partner at BBH, says that while much has been written in the press from a position of AI replacing human talent, not much has been looked at or said about it from the point of view of using it as a tool.

It is the eve of the new year, and Times Square is packed with chasidim dancing amid the bright lights, and -- if you live in Hackensack or nearby -- they may be headed toward your mailbox. The dancing chasidim are the October art for Chabad of Hackensack's calendar. Like any Jewish wall calendar, it includes holidays and candle lighting times; it includes advertisements for neighborhood physicians and birthdays and yahrzeits of community members; and like the other calendars printed by ChabadHouseCalendars.com, it includes birthdays and yahrzeits for the various Lubavitcher rebbes (and the most recent rebbetzin, who also is the last one). But what makes the calendar of interest beyond the 07601 zip code is the art, which was created by Rabbi Mendy Kaminker, who heads Chabad of Hackensack, using the latest "artificially intelligent" art creation software, which synthesized the pictures based on his written prompts. "I started seeing all kinds of unbelievable pictures on Twitter" of AI-generated art, Rabbi Kaminker said.

Experiments with AI or "Why will artists not be left without work for a long time" Today I received an invite to Dalle 2 and started trying a new toy out immediately. My experiments with Midjourney have already moved to the stage of commercial use. And yes, it might seem incredible that more than ten years of working with illustrators and a cool team of dozens of the best artists did not prevent me from making a commercial project with AI-generated art. My team and I will reveal this project later, when it is completed and published by the client. And now I want to show you some experiments we had with Midjourney (image 1), Dalle 2 (image 3) so that you can compare them to each other.

Here's your daily dose of an indie film, web series, TV pilot, what-have-you in progress, as presented by the creators themselves. At the end of the week, you'll have the chance to vote for your favorite. In the meantime: Is this a project you'd want to see? Tell us in the comments. Logline: In the near future, a young animator is offered what should be her dream job. But when she discovers the truth of the modern "creative" process, she must make a hard choice about her passion for film.
