THE STORY BEHIND IT:
As real as it looks its apparently fake: This work is created by incredibly talented artist: Ian Padgham - a 3D artist. This shows the power to visualise and test bold ideas in the virtual realm and, I would argue, then carry them into the physical. It's an exciting and fun new world we are all building.

THE STORY BEHIND IT:
People have been far too smug about their ability to type words than have AI create an amazing image. Now you can just upload someone else's image and have the ai describe it, then use that prompt to create a similar one.
Are you bored of hearing 'AI won't replace you a human using AI will'. There really is no skill, or need for a human, the AI can do this without you.

THE STORY BEHIND IT:
If you visit this test store in Texas you'll have no contact with humans as they've been replaced with touch screen apps and robots.
While the location is not fully automated and employs a team comparable to that of a traditional store, activists have criticized the fast food giant for considering costly automation instead of paying workers a living wage. McDonald's is one of 300 publicly held companies with the lowest median worker wages.

“Did you know that your brain reads faster than your eye? We store learned words and so just a few letters are enough to recognize whole words.
Bionic Reading revises texts so that the most concise parts of words are highlighted. This guides the eye over the text and the brain remembers previously learned words more quickly.

THE STORY BEHIND IT:
As Chat GPT develops more skills and is opened up to more tools it's edging closer to some definitions of general artificial intelligence.
Microsoft AI scientists have published a research paper claiming that OpenAI's language model, which powers Microsoft's Bing AI, displays "sparks" of human-level intelligence, or artificial general intelligence (AGI).The researchers argue that GPT-4 can solve novel and difficult tasks that span mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology, and more, without needing any special prompting.

THE STORY BEHIND IT:
AI is biased. As more and more people look to it for answers who should we trust to be writing the code. Is regulation the answer -there are some big questions that need answers soon.

For example, the content generated by AI needs to reflect the core values of socialism and should not subvert state power, according to the draft rules.
