Researchers have made a breakthrough by harnessing the power of AI models trained on human speech to essentially decode the secret language of dogs – and thanks to a recently published study, we can share the results!
Generating AI images uses the same amount of energy as charging a phone
Using generative AI to create images could be using as much energy as it takes to charge your smartphone, a new study has found.
Feeling bored? GlasgowGPT is actually quite a laugh – and empathetic when you’re ill
Got to admit, I’ve been feeling a little sorry for self the past couple of days, as I have the lurgy (bad cold). So, when I saw a friend posting about GlasgowGPT, I thought it might be a fun way to while away a few minutes without doing anything too brain intensive.
Coca-Cola creates latest soda flavour using A.I. and no, we’re not kidding
It may feel like the start of a Black Mirror episode, but Coca-Cola has created a ‘limited edition’ flavour of Coke using artificial intelligence, and the flavour? It’s called Coca-Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar. What does that mean? It probably means you have to buy it to see what the frog kind of flavour it actually […]
Google announces invisible digital watermark; a first step in bringing transparency to AI art
Google has just taken its first steps towards transparency when it comes to AI-generated images, by announcing SynthID; a watermarking tool for generative art. The announcement came from Google DeepMind today, which says the new technology will embed a digital watermark that’s ‘invisible to the human eye’ directly onto the pixels of an image. As […]
It may not be time to freak out about AI just yet
Generative AI, often talked up by doomsayers as a world-ending job bomb, definitely has its limitations. Even the people who create these large language models (LLMs) have already said that we’re very fast approaching the limits of what it can do. Open AI’s CEO, Sam Altman, stated very clearly at an MIT event in April […]
Clippy is back with a new app that brings AI to Windows 11
In the beginning, there was Siri, Google, Alexa… our AI overlords are assembling, and now it seems they include – Clippy?! Is that you?! Of course, most of us remember good ol’ Clippy. They were the assistant you’d find in Microsoft Office, usually trying to correct your spelling in the late ’90s and early 2000s. […]
This giant nose can smell with the aid of a Raspberry Pi
Not one to be sniffed at, this interactive nose sculpture from multimedia artist Adnan Aga – called the Adnose – can ‘smell’ any object held in front of it. How do we know? I mean, how does a nose on its own even tell us what it’s smelling? Well, a paper poetically describing the smell […]
Watch the fan-made trailer for Wes Anderson-Style Alien Movie ‘EXTRATERRESTRIAL EXPEDITION’
We’ve seen a few AI-generated fan trailers in the style of Wes Anderson now, but this one might very well be my favourite. The trailer for Extraterrestrial Expedition shows us what classic sci-fi horror film Alien might have been like if Wes Anderson was in the director’s seat. It’s got all the good makings of […]
OpenAI roll out ChatGPT iOS upgrades – including Siri integration
It seems everyone’s talking about ChatGPT in some form or other, especially since the iPhone app has been released, allowing us AI access literally at our fingertips – whatever you need it for. Now, it’s been announced that the iOS app is to benefit from some fairly robust updates, including a Siri integration. Editor’s note: Because […]
