— ChatGPT and other AI systems are prone to "hallucinate" information, making it up on the spot. Researchers writing on The Conversation say Meta's CICERO AI is one of the most disturbing examples of how deceptive AI can be. This model was designed to play Diplomacy, and Meta says that it was built to be "largely honest and helpful". In fact, CICERO even went so far as to premeditate deception, where it worked with a human player to trick another human player into leaving itself to open invasion.
AI impact is poised to enhance jobs, not erase them, according to a 21 August ILO study — www.cryptopolitan.com — 10 September 2023 (LINK)
— Jobs held by managers, professionals, and technicians exhibit minimal vulnerability to automation, with only a small fraction of tasks at high risk and around a quarter at medium risk.
High-income countries face the potential automation of about 5.5% of total employment, whereas low-income countries encounter automation risks affecting a mere 0.4% of employment. But, the potential for augmentation appears nearly equal across countries, implying that with the right policies, AI could offer substantial benefits to developing nations.

First misinformation susceptibility test finds 'very online' Gen Z and millennials are most vulnerable to fake news — phys.org — 28 June 2023 (LINK)
— When it came to age, only 11% of 18- to 29-year-olds got a high score (more than 16 headlines correct), while 36% got a low score (10 headlines or fewer correct). By contrast, 36% of those 65 or older got a high score, while just 9% of older adults got a low score.
Additionally, the longer someone spent online for fun each day, the greater their susceptibility to misinformation, according to the MIST. Some 30% of those spending 0–2 recreation hours online each day got a high score, compared to just 15% of those spending 9 or more hours online.
The survey also analyzed channels through which respondents receive their news. The "legacy media" came out top. For example, over 50% of those who got their news from the Associated Press, or NPR, or newer outlets such as Axios, achieved high scores.
Social media had the news audiences most susceptible to misinformation. Some 53% of those who got news from Snapchat received low scores, with just 4% getting high scores. Truth Social was a close second, followed by WhatsApp, TikTok and Instagram.

ChatGPT and AI: What they mean for small business — intracen — 6 April 2023 (LINK)
— Smart digital technologies are already widely used in agriculture in high-income countries. For instance, AI is being used in robotic milking systems in places such as Braz, Austria, to decide which cow should be milked when, with little supervision from the farmer. In low-income countries, on the other hand, AI is mainly limited to small-scale smart farming and satellite imagery processing at the level of smallholder farming. But looking around, we can anticipate future uses, if an appropriate business model can be found.
In Senegal, chatbots are being used instead of customer care operators as clients and investors alike want to reduce costs. In the Philippines, some of its 1.2 million business-process-management jobs — to a large extent customer care for global clients — could be replaced through robotic process automation.
"ITC's SME Trade Academy is already experimenting with tools such as Synthesia to produce videos with human-like avatars in multiple languages and accents. We need to help our beneficiaries leverage this technology as well, for instance the tailor in Burundi who is using ChatGPT to draft marketing materials like brochures and website content."
Generative AI In The Enterprise — Use Cases & Early Learnings — forbes ● — 26 March 2023 (LINK)
— In customer support, generative AI — including GPT3+ and other Large Learning Models, is transforming conversational chatbot capabilities into one that feels natural, is more accurate, and is better able to sense and react to tone and emotions.
Around business insights, generative AI now allows business users to ask questions in natural language. The AI can now convert these into SQL queries, run against the internal databases, and return the answer in a structured narrative — all within minutes. The advantage here isn't just the efficiency — it's the speed of decision-making and the ability for business users to interrogate the data more directly and interactively.
Third, in programming automation, Large language models are highly accurate in multiple languages — including computer language. Software developers are reducing the time to write code and associated documentation by almost 50%. For example, the Microsoft Power Automate program — a tool for robotic process automation — can now be programmed using natural language to automate tasks and workflows in a more intuitive and user-friendly manner. Not only is this more efficient than getting large teams of programmers and testers involved, but it also reduces time and iteration to get automation up and running.
—Enterprises should set up a small focused group tasked with experimenting with Generative AI and reengineering core business processes. This group should report to the highest levels in the organization and be goaled with figuring out how to disrupt current processes and business models. Because it has the potential to disrupt existing ways of doing things, it requires a sharp focus and clear sponsorship.

Can ChatGPT review restaurants? Our food critic tests it out — chicagotribune — 26 January 2023 (LINK)
— When I asked if it had ever been to a restaurant I knew would have loads written about it online, ChatGPT wrote back: "As an AI, I do not have physical presence and therefore I haven't been to any physical location."
But when I asked it to write a restaurant review of Alinea, it didn't hesitate: "— is a truly unique dining experience. The food is meticulously crafted and visually stunning, with an emphasis on creativity and innovation. The flavors are bold and complex, and the dishes are expertly paired with a wide selection of wines. The service is impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who are happy to explain the dishes and the techniques used to prepare them. The atmosphere is elegant and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion. Overall, Alinea is a must-visit for anyone interested in cutting-edge culinary experiences."
While basically coherent, and not too far off from some Yelp reviews, you may have noticed an almost complete lack of specifics. Replace the restaurant's name and the "review" could apply to any number of fine-dining restaurants in Chicago.
"ChatGPT can get more specific, but I found it also became less accurate. When I asked it to write a detailed restaurant review of Alinea, mentioning every single course, it started spitting out names of dishes I don't think ever appeared on the restaurant's menu."

— Students who use ChatGPT can further refine their paper by using other programs like Grammarly, which corrects spelling and grammar mistakes and assesses style and tone. And of course, students can also rewrite passages in their own voice. "Change some words, run it through another checking system," says a professor. "There's really no way to win this fight right now."
Another says there are ethical ways for educators to use the technology in class — for example, by comparing the AI's writing to a student's and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of using the tool.
She says a class could use ChatGPT to write an essay on the plot of "Hamlet" and then analyze the quality of what it spits out. They could also question the references used and whether the analysis was accurate. She says that would allow students to think critically on the effectiveness of the tool.
She also notes that ChatGPT does not produce a bibliography to go with the essays it writes — a red flag for professors trying to determine if a bot was involved. However she notes that there are online tools that can generate footnotes and sourcing for an existing paper.
