AI Does Something Subtly Bizarre If You Make Typos While Talking to It

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-04 23:10:38

New research suggests that medical AI chatbots are woefully unreliable at understanding how people actually communicate their health problems. As detailed in yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study presented last month by MIT researchers, an AI chatbot is more likely to advise a patient not to seek medical care if their messages contained typos. The errors AI is susceptible to can be as seemingly inconsequential as an extra space between words, or if the patient used slang or colorful language. And strik

Last week, Activision announced that it brought offline the Microsoft Store version of “Call of Duty: WWII,” a 2017 first-person shooter, as the company was investigating “reports of an issue,” without specifying what the issue was.

Tesla investors are clearly worried that CEO Elon Musk's fiery new pledge to build a third US political party could inflict even more damage on the embattled company.

Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,
