How Safe is Your News from AI Manipulation?

Hey Curious Future fam, it's Dylan Curious here diving deep into the latest AI developments!

In this video, we're diving into some compelling AI news, where we consider whether artificial intelligence is providing better information or distorting reality. We discuss the rise of a new app that uses AI to change news headlines in real time, aiming to eliminate clickbait. However, there are risks of this turning into groupthink or virtue signaling, potentially creating an echo chamber rather than providing neutral information.

We also explore how humans are struggling to identify content written by bots on social networks, with many believing the bots are acting more human than actual humans. In an era where AI's influence is growing, it's becoming increasingly difficult to trust our instincts.

On the platform front, TikTok is developing a new robust AI that will be able to review every action, click, and comment you've ever made on the platform. Meanwhile, Google is testing a new generative AI model, Genesis, that generates news content, potentially becoming a journalist's best friend.

The world of virtual influencers is also changing, as these AI-generated personalities gain popularity. Despite their rise, there's a question of whether there's a place for human creators like myself to coexist alongside them.

In an interesting twist, a Reddit user managed to outsmart an AI content farm, creating a fake character that was then replicated across the platform. This highlights the extent of content scraping and the potential for misinformation.

Lastly, we touch on ByteDance's ambitious AI plans. The company behind TikTok is developing a new system called System Chat Model (SCM) that aims to create a chatbot with an infinite memory, giving it the ability to hold meaningful long-term conversations.
