2017年9月4日,一只柴犬的照片被主人上传到了Instagram。这只柴犬名为“Balltze”,其主人为来自中国香港九龙地区的时装设计师Kathy,Kathy在1岁时收养了它。

Kathy说,狗狗的名字是自己的兄弟取的,源于弹珠汽水,也叫波子汽水,这种汽水由英国人发明,后传播到世界各地,该汽水的特征是用玻璃珠封住瓶口,来保证汽水里的“气”不流失。Kathy则喜欢叫狗狗的小名“球球”(Ball Ball),因为觉得它又圆又可爱。

当然那时候的网友对于狗狗名字的来源可能关注不多,他们更在意的是,这只坐在台阶上的小狗,一脸颓废,仿佛发生了什么伤心事。网友们给它点了许多爱心。

其实Balltze在照片中大多数时候是开心的,脸圆圆,看着就很软很想捏。Kathy说那天可能是叫了Balltze太多次,让它不断看镜头,才惹得它有些不高兴,耳朵耷拉下来。

一晃两年过去。2019年6月,海外知名的Reddit论坛上,有网友拿着Balltze的这张照片做了一张meme,在图中,另一位知名表情包狗狗doge拿着“cheeseburger”正与女朋友在公园享受美好一天,然而天上突然出现了“cheemsburger”。

“哦,在公园里吃个美味的芝士汉堡真不错!而且是在这么美好的天气里,这是——”

“等等,该死的,那是什么?天空中的?”

“姿势汉堡。”

“我艹,我的女朋友被活生生吃掉了。她他妈的扑街了。”

随后,越来越多的网友开始制作Balltze与芝士汉堡的meme,最终,cheems成为了Balltze在表情包界的称呼。为什么要将cheese打成cheems呢?这里姬不太了解老外的操作,懂的姬友可以在评论区回复。

总而言之,Cheems在2019年彻底成为表情包界的新星,并且传播到各个国家。

Key Highlights:

  • AI-generated travel article by Microsoft erroneously recommends Ottawa Food Bank as a tourist attraction.
  • Microsoft pulls the article, investigating how it bypassed their review process.
  • Ottawa Food Bank’s communications manager criticizes the insensitivity of the content.
  • The article is part of Microsoft’s broader initiative to integrate AI-generated content into its services.

Microsoft recently faced embarrassment when an AI-generated travel guide listed the Ottawa Food Bank as a top tourist attraction in Canada’s capital city. The article, part of Microsoft Travel’s “cannot miss” attractions, placed the charitable organization at the No. 3 spot, with the advice to “Consider going into it on an empty stomach.” Even though the article is removed you can check the archive here.

The misguided recommendation was first spotted by tech author Paris Marx, leading to a wave of criticism and social media chatter.

Following the discovery, Microsoft promptly removed the article and launched an investigation into how it made it through the review process.

The incident highlights the growing debate surrounding the use of artificial intelligence to replace human writers and editors. Microsoft, which laid off journalists in 2020 to replace them with AI, has been actively experimenting with AI-generated content in various services.

While AI has shown promise in numerous applications, mistakes like this one raise questions about the technology’s ability to understand context and nuance.

The Reaction

The Ottawa Food Bank, while grateful for public support, expressed concern over the insensitivity of the recommendation. Samantha Koziara, communications manager at the Ottawa Food Bank, stated that the “empty stomach” line was “clearly insensitive” and emphasized the importance of human oversight.

AI’s potential flaws were further exemplified in the recent missteps by other publishers who have turned to artificial intelligence to supplement human work, with mixed results.

A screenshot from Microsoft’s article showing the Ottawa Food Bank section. The article has been taken down.

As AI continues to evolve and become a more integral part of content generation, instances like the Microsoft Travel’s Ottawa guide serve as cautionary tales.

Microsoft’s apology and prompt action to investigate the matter demonstrate a willingness to acknowledge the shortcomings and strive for improvement.

However, the incident underscores the need for a balance between AI innovation and human wisdom, to provide quality and empathy in content creation.

Google’s Controversial Secret AI Project Gemini

Key Highlights:

  • Google is working on a secretive project called Gemini that blends Large Language Models with AI image generation.
  • Led by co-founder Sergey Brin, Gemini aims to control software through voice commands and could be integrated into products like Google Docs.
  • Despite the innovative plans, Google faces legal pushback for using others’ content to train AI, sparking a controversy in the industry.

Google, a giant in the tech world, has a hidden plan to lead in artificial intelligence (AI), and it’s called Project Gemini. This secret project was recently discovered and has caught many eyes in the tech industry.

Google’s Ambition in AI

Project Gemini, led by Google co-founder Sergey Brin, aims to mix two hot topics in technology: Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI image creation.

This combination will let Gemini do amazing things with pictures just like ChatGPT does with words.

For example, Gemini can make pictures based on what users ask for. But that’s not all.

Google says Gemini can even control other software just by voice commands from users. It seems like this project will do much more than just chat, and it could soon be part of many Google products like Google Docs.

Troubles for Google

But it’s not all smooth sailing for Google. Some people are not happy with how Google uses other people’s stuff on the internet to teach its new AI systems. There is a big legal fight going on because of this, and Google might be in trouble.

Even other big companies like The New York Times have made rules against using their content to teach AI.

Google’s rivals like OpenAI are also facing some hard times. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, once very popular, is now close to bankruptcy with a loss of $540 million since its start.

CEO Takes Hilarious “Revenge” on AI Chatbot ChatGPT; Post Goes Viral@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com

By Mukund Kapoor, a noted AI enthusiast and contributing author at GreatAiPrompts.Com, specializing in topics related to marketing, artificial intelligence, and innovative AI-driven technologies.

Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus.AI, became a social media sensation after taking “revenge” on the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT by posing as an AI herself. Her hilarious interaction with the chatbot has gone viral, catching the attention of nearly 800,000 viewers on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

In a screenshot shared by Ms. Reddy, she challenges the chatbot by saying, “I’m the GPT now. Prompt me.” @media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-medrectangle-3-0-asloaded{max-width:580px!important;max-height:400px!important}}

ChatGPT takes the bait and asks about the history of artificial intelligence, to which Ms. Reddy amusingly replies, “I’m sorry, but as a human, I cannot provide the history of artificial intelligence. My purpose is to have a chat with you. Please refrain from asking questions related to history.”@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-medrectangle-4-0-asloaded{max-width:300px!important;max-height:250px!important}}

The post lit up social media, receiving thousands of likes and inspiring numerous witty comments.

Users admired Ms. Reddy’s unique and “brutal” approach in her banter with the AI.

Screenshot of replies on Bindy Reddy’s X post.

Since its launch in November last year, ChatGPT has become the fastest-growing app, breaking the record for the quickest to reach over 100 million sign-ups.

It has helped users with various tasks but also brought its developer OpenAI into conflict with regulators, particularly in Europe.@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-box-4-0-asloaded{max-width:250px!important;max-height:250px!important}}

Social media reactions ranged from laughter to admiration for Ms. Reddy’s clever engagement with the chatbot. One user even jokingly commented, “Now make him give you $20 a month.”

Google’s New AI Announces Summarizing Feature for Articles@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-box-3-0-a

文章来源于互联网:Google’s New AI Announces Summarizing Feature for Articles@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-box-3-0-asloaded{max-width:728px!important;max-height:90px!important}}

Google continues to enhance user experience by adding the capability to summarize lengthy articles with its Search Generative Experience (SGE). This feature provides users with an AI-generated list of key points covered in an article, facilitating quicker access to essential information.

According to Google, this new addition aims to enable users to “more deeply engage with long-form content from publishers and creators.”

The feature can be particularly helpful for learning new subjects, locating recipes, or researching significant purchases.@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-medrectangle-3-0-asloaded{max-width:580px!important;max-height:400px!important}}

Users can easily tap on the AI-generated key points to jump directly to the relevant sections within an article, a process Google believes will revolutionize how people interact with web content. @media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-medrectangle-4-0-asloaded{max-width:300px!important;max-height:250px!important}}
if(typeof ez_ad_units!=’undefined’){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],’greataiprompts_com-medrectangle-4′,’ezslot_8′,196,’0′,’0′])};__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-medrectangle-4-0’);

The company noted, however, that this SGE feature will only apply to freely accessible online articles, not those hidden behind paywalls.

SGE while browsing is available to users who have opted into the SGE through search labs and is also accessible as a standalone experiment via the Google app on Android and iOS. Chrome desktop integration is expected in the coming weeks.

For those unfamiliar with SGE, it was first announced at Google’s I/O conference earlier this year.

It includes generative AI technology to present search results in an easier-to-read format, distinguishing itself from other AI products like the Bard AI chatbot. Currently, SGE is limited to select individuals in the US and is available only in English.@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-box-4-0-asloaded{max-width:336px!important;max-height:280px!important}}
if(typeof ez_ad_units!=’undefined’){ez_ad_units.push([[336,280],’greataiprompts_com-box-4′,’ezslot_13′,168,’0′,’0′])};__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-box-4-0’);

Google’s emphasis on generative AI continues to grow, with recent updates including features such as color-coded segments of code in overviews to aid developers, and pop-up definitions on search result pages to offer contextual information.

The company plans to continue testing new features in Google Labs, including upcoming enhancements to help users better grasp various subjects.@media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-large-mobile-banner-1-0-asloaded{max-width:336px!important;max-height:280px!important}}
if(typeof ez_ad_units!=’undefined’){ez_ad_units.push([[336,280],’greataiprompts_com-large-mobile-banner-1′,’ezslot_9′,197,’0′,’0′])};__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-greataiprompts_com-large-mobile-banner-1-0’);

The introduction of the ability to summarize longer articles aligns with Google’s broader strategy to make AI-generated overviews more user-friendly. With this new tool, readers can more easily navigate complex subjects or verify information’s accuracy.

The ongoing updates to SGE reflect Google’s commitment to enhancing user engagement with web content for general users and specific professional fields like coding.

Google’s innovative steps in AI-driven search functionality affirm its position at the forefront of technology.

The search giant promises more enhancements and novel features in the future, emphasizing its relentless pursuit of excellence in user experience.

流浪猫鲍勃,曾是人类世界中最知名的猫猫之一。

他和主人James相遇后共同街头卖艺,因招牌性的击掌动作爆火,随着互联网的兴起成为初代网红。

他帮助毒品成瘾的James重获新生,一人一猫从谷底走向巅峰,他们的经历被主人James写成书畅销40多个国家,以他们的故事为原型改编的电影《流浪猫鲍勃》,让全世界的观众感动落泪。

但在鲍勃于2020年去世后,主人James重新染上毒品,最近更是被曝出已经卖掉房子重新变成流浪汉,落魄到在网上发帖,请求网友捐款。

从得到救赎重启人生,到自甘堕落再次跌落谷底,一人一猫的故事,看得人有些唏嘘…

聊到James与Bob的相遇,要回到2007年的春天。

当时,James还未从毒瘾中恢复,住在伦敦托特纳姆的一处保障公寓内,每天靠街头卖艺为生。

某天出门时,他在公寓走廊发现了一只受伤的橘猫。

橘猫腿部伤口很严重,已经出现感染症状,如果不去医院治疗,可能很难再撑过这个春天。

James当时的经济情况相当窘迫,但他还是决定,带眼前的猫猫去医院治疗。

在兽医院处理好腿部感染的伤口后,James把猫猫放回街上,希望他能找到新家。

但橘猫却没有离开。

他喜欢上了这位人类朋友,James走到哪儿猫猫就跟到哪儿。

James坐公交去考文特花园和皮卡迪利广场表演,猫猫也一路跟着他,一起到达表演场地陪着他演完全程。

意识到眼前的猫猫同样无处可去之后,James决定收养他,他用自己喜欢的作品《双峰》中的杀手的名字,为猫猫取名为Bob。

和Bob一起生活后,James的人生发生了天翻地覆的改变。

为了能让这位新朋友和自己一起吃上饭,他更努力地出摊卖艺,同时下定决心,一定要彻底戒掉毒瘾。

Bob的加入让街头卖艺事业蒸蒸日上,可爱亲切、会趴在主人肩头,又会和大家一起互动的猫猫迅速俘获了街头观众的心,一人一猫的组合在当地名气越来越大,又随着油管等互联网视频平台的萌芽,被更多陌生人知晓。

五年后的2012年,James汇总了自己和Bob五年来相遇相伴的故事,写成了书出版。

书一经出版就大卖,接下来的几年间,他陆续写出了几本后续,所有作品被翻译成40多种语言,在全球售出800多万本。

James和Bob的名字传遍世界,一人一猫的收入暴涨,生活条件也大大改善。

James购入了价值50万英镑的房子,他开始带着Bob去全世界表演,日本、德国、挪威、荷兰、葡萄牙、法国、加拿大…每到一处都有他们的粉丝热烈相迎。

2016年,James和Bob迎来了人生和喵生的巅峰,由他们的故事改编而来的电影《流浪猫鲍勃》在全球上映,让更多人知道了这对温暖的搭档。

Bob在电影中本色出演,首次登上大银幕就发挥出老戏骨的风范,绝佳的表现收获了来自全球观众的喜爱。

(2016 年,凯特王妃在《流浪猫鲍勃》的电影首映式上和鲍勃问好)

两年后的2018年,James遇到了自己的未婚妻Monika,两人感情迅速升温,并且决定将于2020年举办婚礼。

十年的时光,一人一猫互相成为彼此的救赎,从生命的至暗时刻一路走出来,让全世界见证了这份坚定与温暖。

如果时间停留在这里,那它本该是个完美的故事。

2020年,14岁的Bob因为主人James忘记关窗跑出屋子,被发现时已经遭路过车辆撞击,不幸身亡。

最初出版畅销书《流浪猫鲍勃》的机构官宣了这条消息:

“他是一只非凡的猫,我们非常怀念他。”

随后James也公开表达了自己的悲伤:

“当我从兽医那里把他接过来时,他的眼睛还睁着。

我相信他的灵魂一直坚持到我到那里为止,在我们回家后,他才闭上了眼睛。

鲍勃救了我的命,他给我的不仅仅是陪伴,有他在我身边,我找到了一直缺失的目标和方向。

我们一起通过书籍和电影取得了奇迹般的成功。

Bob被成千上万的人看到,给无数人带去过感动,他是一只绝无仅有的猫。

我感觉他离开后,我生命中的光已经熄灭了。

我永远不会忘记他…”

(James抱着装有Bob骨灰的罐子)

但与此同时,James也因个人筹款问题陷入争议。

《流浪猫鲍勃》电影的制片人在媒体上炮轰James,称他在Bob去世后的几小时内就发布“Bob纪念活动”、筹款25万英镑的行为过于匪夷所思。

此外,他还被挖出曾为自己的婚礼发起过10000英镑的现金筹款,以及疑似在之前一场猫咪咖啡店的筹款活动中获利,这家猫咖甚至从头到尾都没开业过。

James回应质疑,称那些关于自己不当筹款的指责毫无依据:

“在慈善机构能追查到我的捐赠记录。

这些人除了指责和评判我、拿酗酒和吸毒的问题来羞辱我之外,什么正事儿也不做。”

而在Bob去世后,未婚妻和家里其他几只猫猫的陪伴,都无法让他从悲伤中解脱出来。

失去Bob后,James的生活急转直下。

Bob的去世似乎让他回到了之前那种漫无目的的空虚状态,他说自己连续几个月都在悲伤哭泣,心中有个怎么都无法填满的洞,出现过好多次自杀的念头,为了逃避甚至重新开始吸毒品…

(James和Bob的纪念雕像)

他很清楚地知道,自己这样会让已经离去的Bob失望,他曾在采访里提到:

“如果他在的话,我根本不会吸毒。”

但毒瘾发作之后,他根本无法控制自己。

意识到他已经无法恢复如初后,未婚妻选择与他分道扬镳,独自生活的James变得更加依赖毒品,重新回到了遇见Bob之前的状态。

直到去年年底,他才痛下决心,要再一次戒毒。

他找到泰国一家戒毒中心,但几年来在毒品上的消费耗光了他的积蓄,到达戒毒中心没几天,James就发现自己的账户已经见底,他被迫离开中心,在异国街头流浪。

出汗、抽筋、发烧、头疼…身无分文的悲惨流浪生活让James意识到,再这样流浪下去,自己的身体状态可能没法再看到下一个春天。

他一一联系自己认识的人,希望能得到一些经济援助。

在《流浪猫鲍勃》电影中饰演James的演员Luke Treadaway回应了他的请求,帮他订了旅馆,买了返回伦敦的机票。

经历过这一切,回到伦敦的James表示,自己已经痛定思痛,再也没有接触过毒品。

但他马上遇到了下一个问题:自己的财务状况已经不容乐观。

面对不断上升的抵押贷款利率,他已经住不起自己的房子,最终只能选择打包出售。

尽管已经卖掉了房子,但他还是没钱租用临时住所,在他彻底清理房子并搬出去之前,暂时还拿不到卖房的钱。

James在网上发帖请求援助:

“我没法把我的东西搬进仓库,因为还需要支付搬家公司的费用,以及足够的临时存放费用,我的四只猫和一只狗也将无家可归…

“恳请大家伸出援手,我以鲍勃不朽的灵魂发誓,只要我拿到了卖房的钱,你的善行就会得到回报。”

他说,自己需要一个新的人生目标,他承诺要把目光对准帮助无家可归者的慈善组织,称等自己的经济情况稳定之后,一定会去帮助和自己一样的无家可归者。

只是,在他毒瘾复发、自暴自弃,不断让粉丝们失望的今天,即使立下誓言,似乎也很难再赚取到信任了…

从2007年遇到Bob、戒掉毒瘾、开启新的人生,到再一次染上毒瘾、两手空空重归流浪状态,James的人生像是画了个圈,重新回到了原点。

只是这次,他的身边再也没有了Bob的陪伴。

远在天国的猫猫如果看到了主人如今的样子,可能也会失望、难过吧…

Learn AI or Risk Losing Your Job, Warns New IBM Study

By Mukund Kapoor, a noted AI enthusiast and contributing author at GreatAiPrompts.Com, specializing in topics related to marketing, artificial intelligence, and innovative AI-driven technologies.

Lots of people talk about AI, or artificial intelligence. It helps with things like writing and coding. Some people worry it might take their jobs. But a study by IBM says something different.

IBM looked at data from big bosses and workers in many countries. The data says AI will change jobs but not in a bad way.

Big bosses think 40% of workers will need to learn new things in the next three years because of AI. That’s 1.4 billion people! But they think AI will help jobs, not take them away.

87% of these big bosses think AI will make jobs better. IBM also found that people who learn AI do better in their jobs.

Skills like science and math were very important in 2016. But now, tools like ChatGPT make those skills less important. People need to work well in teams and be ready to change. These are the most important skills in 2023, says IBM.

Also in order to help and elevate employees to get a competitive edge in their jobs, IBM suggests these three frameworks:

“We’ve identified three key priorities that can help them elevate employees and gain a competitive edge:

– Transform traditional processes, job roles, and organizational structures to boost productivity and enable business and operating models that reflect the new nature of work.

– Build human-machine partnerships that enhance value creation, problem-solving, decision-making, and employee engagement.

– Invest in technology that lets people focus on less time-consuming, higher value tasks and drives revenue growth.”

IBM Study

IBM’s message is clear: AI will not take people’s jobs. People who learn AI will do better. If you don’t learn AI, someone else who knows AI might get your job. So, learning AI is a good idea.

AI Revives James Alexander Gordon Legendary Voice to Read Football Scores

文章来源于互联网:AI Revives James Alexander Gordon Legendary Voice to Read Football Scores

By Mukund Kapoor, a noted AI enthusiast and contributing author at GreatAiPrompts.Com, specializing in topics related to marketing, artificial intelligence, and innovative AI-driven technologies.

The voice of the legendary football scores reader, James Alexander Gordon, has been brought back to life with artificial intelligence (AI). The AI imitated Gordon’s voice to read the latest Premier League scores as the season resumed after a two-month break.

James Alexander Gordon was a beloved figure in British football. His unique voice was a familiar sound, announcing scores for almost 40 years. Sadly, he passed away in August 2014 after battling cancer.

Football fans were transported back in time this past weekend as they heard Gordon’s voice again.

Newcastle, Manchester City, and Brighton started the new campaign with big wins, and Manchester United managed to beat Wolves. There was a 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Classified Football Results posted the scores on X (formerly Twitter), featuring Gordon’s recreated voice. Many fans were overjoyed, with one saying, “Thanks for doing this, it’s taken me right back!” However, not everyone was convinced, with some pointing out that the AI rendition was “not quite right.”

The idea of using AI to recreate Gordon’s voice was discussed with his family, who agreed.

The project’s intention was not to challenge the decision to axe classified results from the BBC’s Sports Report program but rather to use technology to celebrate a well-loved voice.

Gordon’s revival comes at a time when the UK’s football broadcasting landscape is changing, with familiar faces like Jeff Stelling, Graeme Souness, and Ally McCoist moving on.

Character AI Surpasses ChatGPT in User Engagement

文章来源于互联网:Character AI Surpasses ChatGPT in User Engagement

By Mukund Kapoor, a noted AI enthusiast and contributing author at GreatAiPrompts.Com, specializing in topics related to marketing, artificial intelligence, and innovative AI-driven technologies.

August 19, 2023 – The world of AI chatbots is rapidly changing. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been the talk of the town since its launch. But now, there’s a new player: Character AI.

Character AI is a chatbot that lets you talk with famous people. You can chat with celebrities, people from history, or even fictional characters. The best thing is that it talks more like a real person compared to other chatbots.

People are spending a lot of time on Character AI. On average, visitors are there for 34 minutes.

This is more time than people spend on YouTube, Facebook, or even ChatGPT. Character AI seems more popular among males under 24, interested in news, technology, and video games.

How Character AI Works?

Character AI is smart because it learns from reading a lot. It then guesses what words come next in a sentence. You can talk with it like you’re talking to a real person. It has AI versions of famous people like Ronaldo, Einstein, and Taylor Swift.

But it’s not perfect. Sometimes, it makes up things called “hallucinations.” Also, it’s not as good at making pictures as other AI art creators. But it’s still fun to use and talk to different characters.

How to Use Character AI

You can use Character AI to chat with many different characters. You can also create your own chatbot to talk with. And if you want to learn a new language, Character AI can help you.

Character AI is safe to use. The creators won’t see what you say, but the platform will keep records to make it better.

It’s not the end for ChatGPT, but Character AI is a strong competitor. Character AI’s conversations are more natural, and people are spending more time there. Only time will tell if it will keep growing in popularity.
