AI versus Marshy - Shooting from the hip - scientist makes bold assertion that you can’t possibly know to be true

I’m writing about a recent statement made by Meta’s AI scientist, but before we dive into that, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Last week, I mentioned that ChatGPT had released its image generation capability for Pro users, and I wanted to follow up on that. This week, I’m also referencing a statement made by Yann LeCun, a well-known AI researcher, about ChatGPT’s innovation. Let’s start with the statement that’s got me scratching my head. Deep fake spoofing that triggered irrational behaviour in a VIP Head of State I don’t like thinking about malevolent use - but it’s a terrifying reality that we hope the side of progress can consider, govern, and protect us from. But to state that it’s never going to be a threat - yikes - step away from the microphone please! – That’s it for this week. Enjoy! -Marshy p.s. Thanks to those of you who replied with feedback last week - muchos appreciatos 🙏 Originally appeared in newsletter : AI versus Marshy #19: easy images, personal ai, and shoosh please
