futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-31 00:28:30

Back in the day, getting fooled by a fake cheat code from word of mouth or early web forums was almost a rite of passage for gamers. It's been a long time since people were playing Pokemon Yellow and Final Fantasy for the first time, however, and AI has apparently taken over the role that used to be filled by your idiot brother. As veteran gaming journalist Stephen Totilo reported in his Game File newsletter, Google's disastrous AI Overviews have been caught repeatedly giving terrible advice o

Fast food companies have been experimenting with integrating artificial intelligence into their restaurants, from Flippy the burger-flipping robot at White Castle to dynamic pricing at Wendy's.

Google's New Pixel Studio Is Weirdly Obsessed With the iPhone

cnet.com Andrew Lanxon 2025-10-31 00:41:00

Pixel Studio launched on the Pixel 9 series last year, but the Pixel 10 Pro allowed me to spend time testing Pixel Studio using a more advanced generative AI model. The result is better quality images, a much deeper understanding of keywords and a wider range of image styles that can be created. But its quality goes deeper, being now able to generate actual text instead of strings of nonsense as well as creating pictures of people -- including photorealistic depictions of known faces like Taylo

For example, how common is it really? Are the chatbots really driving people crazy, or just catching the attention of people who were crazy already? Isn’t psychosis supposed to be a biological disease? Wouldn’t that make chatbot-induced psychosis the same kind of category error as chatbot-induced diabet
