What’s happened? Far from taking their jobs, some people working in the creative sector have found that AI is actually bringing them more work — for now, at least. Graphic designer Lisa Carstens, for example, has new clients asking her to fix their shoddy efforts at using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT to create company materials like logos or flyers, NBC News reported.
Why should I care? If you’re a creative worried about AI taking your job, there may be opportunities to get more work off the back of AI’s imperfections and outright failures. But with AI tools improving all the time, it’s not clear for how much longer such work will be available.
If you’re someone creating materials for your next project, whether business-related or personal, it’s understandable that you might turn to AI if the budget is tight. But if you do have a choice, you’ll want to consider whether it’s better to employ the services of a living, breathing creator (with bills to pay) who has a deeper understanding of nuance and context, and can ultimately bring the human touch. Or to go with AI, which still lacks in such areas.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.
