People haven't been paying attention to the issue of the detection of AI outputs, this is really important. If we can't accurately detect AI use, then how will any human-only requirement be met in all walks of life? Academia, copyright, etc.

OpenAI quietly shut down their AI classifier As I mentioned before, this product is not feasible or possible to create - with skilled operators GPT’s output cannot be distinguished from human output, and in many cases is better than the human output alone

🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨 Over months of reporting, @dinabass and I looked at thousands of images from @StableDiffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world. 🧵 1/13

I am deeply shocked and saddened by the enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act of Uganda. It is a travesty that constitutes a gross violation of human rights. It is unacceptable that people are forced to live in fear because of who they love or how they express their love.
