I am totally fed up with strawberries 🍓 🍓 🍓watching the feed on Twitter. The largest promoter deserves the big raspberry!

I find the effort being put into AI detectors akin to trying to establish if people used a calculator or did the math by hand. Resources could be far better utilised in augmenting the use of AI in an ethical manner than trying to detect its usage. Now Grammarly gets on board. I wonder what Ethan Mollick will have to say about this attempt? https://www.zdnet.com/article/grammarly-to-roll-out-a-new-ai-content-detector-tool-heres-how-it-works #AI #academicwriting #academic

Grammarly to roll out a new AI content detector tool. Here's how it works

Grammarly Authorship will attempt to detect whether AI, a human, or a combination of the two created content. Though it will be available to any user, the new tool is targeted to the education market in particular.

G'day all. I've been travelling Australia for the last 3 months. Did around 15K km. Now back though and really excited to get back to work and the home routine. Cheers.

My first article for some time due to travel, but I have been thinking deeply about this potential issue of Neutrality Bias in AI.

Neutrality Bias: Rethinking Objectivity in AI-Assisted Decision Making - Ric Raftis Consulting

#Anthropic has released #Claude Sonnet 3.5 which is purported to beat GPT4o and is also free! Anthropic also state that Sonnet 3.5 outperforms Claude Opus 3.0 which was their most expensive model to use. You have to wonder who is paying the piper for all this free access. #AI #race https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-5-sonnet

SORA now has a strong competitor. Kling is a Chinese model that creates double SORA's output to 2 minute videos. Kling produces them in full HD at 30fps in amazing quality. Still some problems with the rendering of straight lines in some of the demos. Check it out though. The videos are amazing. #AI #video #texttovideo https://kling.kuaishou.com
