Hello and welcome to the Automated, your AI tour guide.
AI is once again at the center of political drama, with Presidential candidate Donald Trump slamming Kamala Harris for using AI to create fake crowds.
Here’s what we have for you today:
🤯 Trump vs. Harris: The Fake Crowd Saga!
Donald Trump has accused Kamala Harris of using AI to fake a crowd at a rally in Michigan!
According to him, the image of a massive ‘crowd’ of so-called followers was ‘A.I.’d’, but they didn’t exist! Check out his post here.
However, local reports and AI detection tools suggest the image is real!
Local news site MLive reported that the rally at Detroit Metro Airport attracted about 15,000 people and that the crowd was so huge that it overflowed onto the tarmac, cheering as Air Force Two arrived.
While the fact-checking site Snopes used AI-detection tools on the image and concluded that it was likely a real image.
Even more interesting is the fact that the image in question didn't come directly from Harris' campaign pages.
A local New York outlet, NY1, reports that it was first posted by a Democratic super PAC video editor and former Biden campaign official before being widely shared across the internet.
But hold up; Harris’ response to all this was quite the shade!
They shared the post from Trump accusing them of creating a “fake ‘crowd and implied that the reason Trump has still not campaigned in a swing state in over a week is because of “Low energy”
Oh, the political drama!😀
But in all seriousness, this entire incident sheds light on the growing trend of using AI to manipulate reality.
And it's definitely going to be a big issue in the upcoming elections!
Check out the full story for more details.
🛑 OpenAI's Warning about ChatGPT-4o!
Imagine chatting with ChatGPT-4o and forgetting it's just a machine. Well, that’s exactly what’s happening!
ChatGPT-4o has been making waves for its eerily human-like conversations, and apparently, some people may have forgotten that it's just a machine!
So, OpenAI is sounding the alarm!
They’re now waving a red flag, as they've observed that people seem to be getting too emotionally attached to the chatbot—and that's not a good thing!
For example, users are starting to treat it like they would a close friend or family member, using language that suggests deep emotional connections, like saying, “This is our last day together.”
While this might seem harmless, it could lead to some serious issues.
For one, when users start seeing ChatGPT-4o as human, they might begin to trust it too much, ignoring that it’s still just a machine that can make mistakes or spread misinformation.
That's a problem because AI "hallucinations" (as OpenAI calls them) can be misleading or just plain wrong.
Secondly, relying too heavily on chatbot interactions could hurt real-life relationships.
Imagine spending more time chatting with a machine than with your actual friends and family! Yikes
OpenAI notes that while chatbots might be helpful for lonely or isolated people, they shouldn't replace human connection altogether.
So, what's OpenAI going to do about it?
Well, they plan to monitor users' interactions with ChatGPT-4o closely and adjust the model if necessary.
And find a balance between creating helpful, conversational AI and avoiding unhealthy attachments.
What do you think? Should we be cautious about getting too close to our AI friends?🤔
