A famous artist who died in 2019 is now seeing his artworks being fed to generative AI, with the results being sold online in association with his name. The sellers are his own family members, who say it is “legal” and “ethical”. Leonid Afremov, a Belarus-born artist, died six years ago aged 64.

Scarlett Johansson has released a statement following OpenAI’s removal of a controversial voice option that sounds eerily similar to the Hollywood star. ChatGPT released its voice chat feature in September 2023. Since then, users have had the option to pick from five voices: Ember, Cove, Juniper, Breeze, and Sky. The latter has drawn comparisons to the AI voice assistant in the 2013 Spike Jonze film Her, voiced by Johansson. On Monday (May 20) users began noticing the Sky voice option was no longer available on the ChatGPT app. People flooded social media with speculation it was due to the recent...

If deepfake humans irk you, science now has an explanation for that. A study by researchers in Europe published by Nature found that our brain responds more positively to human smiles we are told are real as opposed to those deepfakes generated by AI. The researchers gathered 30 participants who have a mean age of 25 years old. They were given a total of 540 images of different human faces with a Caucasian appearance. The images contained three distinct expressions: angry, neutral and happy. The photos were also “cropped into an oval shape, excluding hair, ears and neck” to minimise...

Coca-Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar is the new flavour being sprayed across the world by The Coca-Cola Company in the marketing exercise that nobody asked for. Here we go with the big brands creating “limited edition” things again to make their consumers panic about scarcity and jump over their grandmother to buy whatever it is. The latest big corporation to do this very thing is Coca-Cola. Riding the AI trend, the fizzy drinks manufacturer has announced on its website that it’s used AI to invent a new flavour of Coke.

The advent of AI image generators such as DALL-E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion has shaken up the art world. Suddenly, the ability to create striking visuals is no longer restricted to those with natural talent and/or years of artistic training. Whether that’s a good thing or not depends on who you ask — but one thing that’s not up for debate is that Things Are Different Now. The ability to create art today is at our fingertips — we’re all a prompt away from visual beauty. Show this technology to someone in the ‘90s and you would break their brain....

It’s only been two days since OpenAI’s GPT-4o dropped, and punters online are already flooding the internet with memes and jokes about the interactive AI assistant. GPT-4o’s voice sounds eerily similar to Samantha, an AI virtual assistant voiced by Scarlett Johansson in sci-fi drama film Her. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen Her — Samantha has a sultry voice, is flirty, and even gets naughty with the main character in the film. So, some experts in the tech community are complaining that GPT-4o’s voice bears too much of a resemblance to Samantha. Even OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman leaned into...

What is SkyNet? Who is SkyNet? SkyNet is a fictional artificial general superintelligence system that is the antagonistic force in the movie Terminator, released in 1984. More or less, SkyNet becomes sentient and then tries to kill all humans. The Terminator movie was so successful, more movies and other spin-offs were made for years after its initial release. It’s the gift that keeps giving for the fans who love a dystopian horror flick.  More importantly, the Terminator movies talked about the anxieties humans have around creating machines that quickly become smarter than us (becoming like, an AI terminator…). While that...
