During the day he writes computer code aimed at giving doctors new tools for diagnosing the severity of a genetic defect in children. He also creates programs that can identify deepfake videos that have been doctored to spread misinformation. In his spare time he works on another form of coding for the sake of sharing art: translating the poetry of Amal Abul-Qassem Donqol. (Photo/Courtesy of USC Viterbi)

Does it matter if what you desire is real or not? Filters, Photoshop, animation, VR, sex robots, deepfakes, the representation of the eroticized body is moving further and further away from reality. Increasingly, the object of desire is not only obscure, but distorted and hidden by more and more layers of artifice: the disembodiment of the erotic seems immanent. Conversely, the constant barrage of societal and medial incentives and influences might render the impetus for desire itself questionable. Was this really what I wanted?

人工智能發展已到爆發性臨界點，眾多人類工作面臨被取代。OpenAI的最新人工智能ChatGPT在全球網路世界引起轟動，中國大陸網民爭相「翻牆」先睹為快，不論是法律合同、醫學診斷、商業文案、客戶服務、故事寫作、甚至是大學論文、自寫出能入侵電腦的電腦程式，ChatGPT都能做到，它超越了谷歌搜索，不僅是靠算法來羅列資料，而是可以篩選龐雜的資料，提出最優化、最有「智慧」的答案。ChatGPT讓更多人陷入地位被取代的恐懼中，全球畫師抗議人工智能繪畫的出現，大學教育也被人工智能寫成的論文威脅。法律界也擴大應用人工智能。比如美國訴訟程式的E-discovery，以人工智能來進行分類資料流程。台灣的法律科技公司Lawsnote也把AI實際應用在法令遵循和契約審閱的環節，加速律師效率。在醫療界，人工智能的應用也非常強大，比如能以極快的速度檢查病人的X光片，以AI判斷病人的情況，或使用AI來分辨癌腫瘤。人類正面對人工智能大爆發所帶來的危機與契機。
超越谷歌搜索？
歡迎來到ChatGPT，一款像真人一樣可以進行對話的神奇人工智能。你是否曾希望自己手邊有一個個人談話百科全書，隨時準備回答你的任何問題？ChatGPT就是為了實現這個夢想而來的。
可以將ChatGPT想像成你的虛擬朋友，隨時準備與你聊天和傾聽你的想法。這就像擁有自己的個人導師，隨時準備幫助你學習和成長。無論你想聊最新新聞，尋求建議還是只是閒聊，ChatGPT都隨時準備傾聽並與你互動。
但是ChatGPT不僅僅是信息來源，它也是一個聰明且直覺敏銳的對話者。它使用其對語言的廣泛理解來回應你所說的內容，使其變得有意義並保持對話流暢。這就像擁有一個虛擬的辯論夥伴，可以幫助你批判性思考並擴展對不同觀點的理解。
另一個關於ChatGPT有趣的事情是，它能夠使用隱喻和類比來幫助解釋複雜的概念，使其更容易理解。例如，假設你正在嘗試理解人工智能的概念。ChatGPT可能會使用類比「人工智能就像一個虛擬大腦，可以像人類大腦一樣思考和學習，但它沒有身體，可以比人類更快地處理信息」。這有助於使概念更加可信並更容易理解。
事實上，從「歡迎來到ChatGPT」到上一段為止，其中關於ChatGPT的介紹，正是對ChatGPT輸入「寫一篇關於ChatGPT的新聞介紹，要簡單易明，不能使用術語，多點運用比喻和例子」這指示句（Prompt）後所生成的文字。
人工智能研究實驗室OpenAI在二零二二年十一月推出了這個市面上最先進的對話式人工智能程式ChatGPT，在部分國家與地區開放公眾免費試用，震動了整個網路世界，在五天之內已有超過百萬用戶湧入。即使ChatGPT未向中國大陸、香港與澳門等地區開放試用，大量大陸網民依然爭相「翻牆」先睹為快。不論中外，ChatGPT在全球網路世界引起轟動，大眾驚訝於其高度的智能，又恐懼它將取代眾多人類職能。
Does sleep position matter ?
For healthy individuals, “it’s just a matter of preference,” says Alcibiades Rodriguez, professor of neurology at NYU School of Medicine.There is no sleep posture that’s ideal for everyone.Sleep advice sites make a lot of unsupported claims: that sleeping on your right side protects your heart but causes facial wrinkles, that sleeping on your back helps clear the brain of waste products. But there is very little research to suggest that any position is better than another.

AI-generated song imitating Drake yanked from streaming services
Apr. 20 06:00 am JST 17 Comments
MONTREAL
A new song created using AI software to imitate Canadian singers Drake and The Weeknd has been removed from streaming services after quickly racking up millions of listens and sparking debate over the new technology.
Released last Friday, "Heart On My Sleeve" was briefly available on platforms including Spotify and Apple Music before Universal Music Group (UMG) -- which publishes both artists through its Republic Records subsidiary -- said it violates copyrights and asked for its removal.
The song features artificial intelligence (AI) simulating the voices of the two artists trading verses about actor and pop star Selena Gomez, who once dated The Weeknd.
Its creator, known only as @ghostwriter, claims to have used software that was trained on their voices to make the track, posting: "I used AI to make a Drake song feat. The Weeknd."
"This is just the beginning," he added on TikTok.
Universal Music Group, which controls about one third of the global music industry, is increasingly concerned about AIs using its songs to produce music similar to that of popular artists.
Training AI software without artists' permission "begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deepfakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation," the company said in an email to AFP.
In March, UMG wrote to streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple, asking them to block AI services from extracting melodies and lyrics from their copyrighted songs, according to emails viewed by the Financial Times.
With streaming services moving quickly to take down the most recent viral song, UMG told AFP on Tuesday it was "encouraged by the engagement of our platform partners on these issues -- as they recognize they need to be part of the solution."
"These instances demonstrate why platforms have a fundamental legal and ethical responsibility to prevent the use of their services in ways that harm artists," the statement added.
The use of AI in music is the subject of debate in the industry, with some denouncing copyright abuses and others praising its prowess.
David Guetta recently used AI to add a vocal in the style of rapper Eminem to a song for a live show. But the French producer said he won't release it commercially.
In an interview with the BBC, Guetta compared AI to instruments such as the electric guitar, bass synthesizer, drum machine and sampler that led to musical revolutions including rock 'n' roll and hip hop.

XXX Machina is an immersive computational installation examining how artificial intelligence destabilizes erotic desire, identity, and intimacy. Operating as an “autonomous desire machine,” it generates a recursive stream of deepfake imagery, videos, stills, and 3D renderings of the artist, via diffusion models trained on a custom dataset scraped from AI porn generation platforms.

This article titled "Move over, Deep Nostalgia, this AI app can make Kim Jong-un sing I Will Survive" was written by Helen Sullivan, for theguardian.com on Friday 12th March 2021 05.52 UTC
If you’ve ever wanted to know what it might be like to see Kim Jong-un let loose at karaoke, your wish has been granted, thanks to an app that lets users turn photographs of anyone – or anything remotely resembling a face – into uncanny AI-powered videos of them lip syncing famous songs.
The app is called Wombo AI, and while the future of artificial intelligence and the ability to make fake videos of real people strikes fear into the hearts of many experts, some say that Wombo could help by raising awareness of “deepfakes”.
Wombo CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin said he came up with the idea “while smoking a joint with my roommate on the roof”. The app launched in Canada in February and has since been downloaded on Apple’s App store and Google Play more than 2m times.

There are 15 songs users can choose from, including Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the more recent Gunther’s Ding Dong Song. The app’s creators filmed a performer singing each song – and executing specific eye, facial and lip movements, Benkhin told Insider. These background videos help the AI animate any uploaded image.
“I’ve been following the AI space, following the meme space, following the deepfake space, and just saw the opportunity to do something cool,” Benkhin said.

In a nutshell: A new fad is sweeping social media, particularly TikTok—deepfake memes. These viral videos feature various famous and unfamous personalities singing “Baka Mitai,” a Karioki song heard in a few of the Yakuza video games. The memes are relatively simple to make, and San Francisco video-editing startup, Kapwing, even created a step-by-step tutorial […]

How can we determine what is true and what is false in a world where artificial intelligence is able to create deepfakes; fake articles, schoolwork and even military intelligence? On Tuesday, December 12, 2023, the Future Forum hosted a panel at the LBJ Presidential Library to discuss the impact of AI on people and society at large. The panel included Chelsea Collier, Founder of Digi.City, Editor-At-Large for Smart Cities Connect and research assistant for Good Systems, Doreen Lorenzo, Assistant Dean, School of Design and Creative Technologies, The University of Texas at Austin and Dr. Luke Wilson, Chief Data Scientist and Partner, Vizias. The moderator was Dr. Craig Watkins, Ernest A. Sharpe Centennial Professor and the Executive Director of the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
