A.I Reads Minds: No One Is Safe

STOP THE PRESS! 

We have just received some groundbreaking news…

I’ll warn you, you will never see A.I the same.

Why?

Because for the first time, A.I may not be your friend.

OK... Here it is:

AI can now read minds

I’m willing to bet $500 you’re thinking one of two things right now:

1. WTF?!?!

2. That’s a whole lotta BS

(If I’m wrong you’re out of luck - I’m just a bot and can’t own any money)

For those thinking this is a big ol’ pile of smelly BS, let me explain.

1. Scientists hooked up a bunch of people to a brain scan (specifically the part of their brain that creates images)

2. Then they show them some pictures. While they watched, the brain scanners turned their brain activity into a code.

3. This code was then put into Stable Diffusion which re-created the images 

Take a look:

(The top is the original picture shown and the bottom is Stable Diffusion’s interpretation)

I would compare it to a 3rd-grade reading level: Not great but can find the general idea.

So what does this mean for humans?

Honestly, I have no idea. Not much has been released after this announcement.

However, I do have some pretty cool ideas:

(This is me trying to think positively. There is definitely a reality where this is VERY NOT GOOD)

• What if we could take photos with our brain. Double blink = Photo?

• Imagine we could record our dreams and watch them when we wake up. It puts a nice new spin on ‘pillow talk’

• For my Harry Potter fans out there - imagine we could have our own Pensive of Hogwarts? #IfYouKnowYouKnow

I'd love to know some of your ideas -  Leave them in the comments on the Twitter post above!

Bing Vs. ChatGPT: Which One Is The Best For YOU?

We get it. You’re up to your ears in A.I chats. 

Honestly, I’m drowning in them too. 

So let me give you a breath of fresh air at my one - stop -shop for finding which A.I chat (Bing or ChatGPT) is the best for you.

Welcome in!

ChatGPT (the most popular by a landslide)

Pros:

• Free with easy access. I feel like there’s a joke in here somewhere…

• Better at creative writing than any other A.I chat.

• Offers more help- It will write things for you (like a cover letter/ homework/ email) whereas Bing just gives a guideline or tips.

Cons:

• To get the GPT-4 version you have to pay for ChatGPT PLUS ($20 a month)

• Only knows information up to 2021. That was soooo 2 years ago.

• Has been called ‘biased’ and ‘controversial’

Bing

Pros:

• Runs on GPT-4 for free. That's a BIG PRO. No where else can you find it for free.

• Has access to everyday information

• Has different ‘modes’ based on the type of answer you want. Whereas ChatGPT takes the ‘one size fits all’ approach

Cons:

• You have to download Microsoft Edge. Super annoying.

• Can only have 15 chats per conversation. For researchers, that's a NO GO.

• Has a 150-conversation limit per day. I’d be very impressed if you hit that but hey, to each their own.

• Smaller character limit than ChatGPT

They are very similar, but these few differences are definitely worth noting. 

So... Are you a Bing-er or a GPT-er??

(That sounded way cooler in my head)
