OpenAI has launched the AI-driven search engine SearchGPT, offering real-time access to internet information. Unlike traditional search engines, it organizes and summarizes results, such as music festival information. Currently in prototype phase, it's available to 10,000 test users and powered by GPT-4 models. The tool asks users for their needs rather than providing just link lists, emphasizing clear attribution and links, and collaborates with....

Google researchers warn that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is endangering the internet with fake content, as Google plays a dual role in this 'war of truth': both as a promoter and a creator. AI misinformation, such as absurd suggestions like 'gluing pizza' or 'eating stones', ultimately requires manual removal. Abuse methods include the manipulation of human likenesses and the fabrication of evidence, primarily aimed at influencing public opinion, fraud, or profit. Although the risks do not yet pose an existential threat, they are becoming increasingly severe, with misuse cases primarily consisting of routine operations that disrupt the normal use of systems, accounting for 90%.

Meta AI's latest project, Llama 3, focuses on training with synthetic data rather than human-written answers to optimize model performance in areas such as code generation, mathematical reasoning, multilingual processing, and long text handling. Llama 3 generates synthetic data for code generation through three methods, employs research methods for mathematical reasoning, and collects high-quality human annotations for multilingual pre-training. Furthermore, Llama 3's training is enhanced using Brave Search, Wolfram Alpha, and Python interpreter.

Image matching is a fundamental task in computer vision. Recently, matching models based on deep learning have gradually gained popularity. Xiamen University, Intel, and DJI have introduced GIM: Learning Generalizable Image Matcher from Internet Videos. GIM enables matching models to learn strong generalization capabilities from internet videos. The GIM framework is suitable for all matching models, including DKM, LoFTR, and SuperGlue. The authors have proposed the first ...

Quora has transformed from a high-quality Q&A community into a garbage platform. The AI chatbot Poe has failed to address Quora's issues, leading to the exodus of long-time users, while new users remain indifferent. The community culture has disappeared. Quora's attempts to monetize have faced obstacles, resulting in difficulty in achieving profitability. The involvement of AI has led to AI-generated questions and answers, altering the community atmosphere and causing a decline in quality.

The Guangzhou Internet Court's ruling on the AI services infringing on the copyright of Ultraman has come into effect. The defendant infringed on the plaintiff's Ultraman work copyright during the provision of AI services. The court ordered the defendant to pay 10,000 yuan in economic damages. This is the world's first effective ruling on generative AI service infringement.

The Sora text-to-video model released by OpenAI has created a buzz, with some individuals using the Sora name to sell courses and accounts, and even committing fraud. Most of these courses and accounts are overpriced, with false content and no actual value. Some course sellers haven't even used Sora themselves; they are simply profiting from people's anxiety and information asymmetry. OpenAI has not yet opened access to Sora, and we remind everyone to be cautious to avoid getting scammed. It is advised to stay informed about new technologies like Sora.
