🚨 Man Sues ChatGPT Over False Information

A radio host from Georgia named Mark Walters is suing OpenAI over claims made by ChatGPT that he embezzled funds from a gun rights nonprofit.

Walters filed a lawsuit alleging that ChatGPT damaged his reputation. While it may be challenging to prove that an AI chatbot harmed Walters' reputation in court, the lawsuit could have implications as the tool continues to generate false claims.

The suit alleges that ChatGPT published false material, implicating Walters in a case where he had no involvement — the AI even generated completely fabricated passages and inaccurately cited case numbers.

So, good news for the lawyers out there scared AI will take your jobs — they may be good at data collection, but they still can’t be trusted on a witness stand.

⚡️ An AI-Powered Chatbot For Any Site

CommandBar has launched HelpHub, an AI chat and search for any website or web app.

Simply copy and paste your source content from a URL or sync with a CMS, and the chatbot will be trained to ask any question on that content.

The result is an embeddable widget that contains:

1. The chatbot interface for users to ask questions

2. A search interface for users to search through the content the bot is trained on directly, as well as view source content

🧠 AlphaDev Solves Algorithms Faster Than Humans

Deepmind, Google’s AI branch, has just presented AlphaDev, a Reinforcement Learning agent that can discover faster sorting algorithms on its own.

AlphaDev’s advanced computer science algorithms outperform decades of human benchmarks from engineers and scientists.

These new algorithms are already part of two standard C++ coding libraries and are being used trillions of times per day by programmers worldwide. In addition, AlphaDev has also demonstrated potential in enhancing other essential computer science algorithms, such as hashing.

This represents a significant step towards using AI to optimize the world's code, one algorithm at a time.

🤖 WordPress Releases AI Text Assistant

WordPress has introduced Jetpack AI Assistant, an AI plug-in that generates and edits text directly within the WordPress interface.

The tool is described as a "creative writing partner" that streamlines content creation by generating diverse content and providing options to adjust tone and style.

It can summarize blog posts, correct grammar and spelling, translate languages, and more — while nothing we haven’t seen before, having these capabilities within one of the largest content management platforms could be a huge step forward for WordPress lovers.
