Months after the viral ‘AI photoshoot’ trend, k-pop idols are now living out their days as high school students. Here is how to do the new viral ‘AI yearbook’ filter reminiscent of the ‘90s that’s taking over TikTok.

The Super Bowl is prime time for the most creative ads. Today, one that has gone viral on social media is a 30-second ad by Illumination, the studio behind blockbuster franchise animation Despicable Me. Why so?

Nope, it’s not just you. AI-generated music and art was negatively perceived by participants in a study because it poses a “profound ontological threat” to our humanity, according to a study by the University of British Columbia (UBC). Researchers at UBC conducted four studies in which university students and people not at university evaluated two different forms of art, and shared their thoughts on which one they preferred more, and which one they didn’t. Here are two of the more important experiments from the paper. Study 1: Music In the first study 206 university students were given two pieces of...

AI art, film and photography, to put it lightly, aren’t welcome in creative circles. Actors in Hollywood are fighting against major studios using their likeness as “digital replicas”. Gamers who discover that their favourite game had used AI log onto the interwebs to voice their dissatisfaction. It seems that the general attitude towards AI in the arts, at least on the internet, is that of contempt. Artists say that AI-generated content lacks authenticity, steals from human-made art without their consent and robs creatives of their jobs. There’s science to back up this behaviour. Research in August shows that we as...

We tried the latest ChatGPT jailbreak We tried it out and it works (for now!). So how does it happen? Here is the...

Invisible watermarks that protect an artist’s work are removable using generative AI models, according to a study by researchers from the Universities of California, Santa Barbara and Carnegie Mellon. The study launched what’s known as a series of “regeneration attacks” powered by AI to test the strength of invisible watermarks in several artworks. Such attacks refer to various methods that aim to “degrade or remove invisible watermarks in images”. In the study, they included: Brightness or contrast adjustment: Changing the parameters of an image’s brightness or contrast to make the watermark harder to detect; JPEG compression: Compressing an image to...

Remember LimeWire? Before Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal, the platform was how kids my generation shared music, film, and television content with each other. LimeWire was just one of several “file-sharing” sites like Napster and *cough* PirateBay, and record label executives detested those platforms. They absolutely disliked how ‘Ne_Yo_So_Sick.mp3’ was able to be so seamlessly transferred from one user to another without them raking in the royalties. Alas, after a flurry of copyright lawsuits, as well as the emergence of mainstream music-streaming sites that we know of today, LimeWire caved. In 2011, the company agreed to pay a mammoth US$105...
