The biggest giveaway, beyond heavy use of contrived metaphors, is a striking lack of detail beyond what you could glean from a trailer for the game. Embargoes covering what parts of a video game can come up in a pre-release review can be strict, but a good critic usually finds a way to describe their experience without being vague.

Just having the documents doesn't mean you can search them immediately. You have to make them machine-readable first. Even though these are now public records, it does not mean they are verified, true or accurate. A name appearing in a document does not, by itself, establish involvement in criminal activity. Each reference must be examined in full context.

We've started to notice all these things in Meta advertising, where the majority of our marketing spend is. Things like your text being used to train AI, and more and more AI things you have to opt out of - like AI pictures and AI videos that can alter the image of the thing you've uploaded quite dramatically. You have to opt out of each one, individually, every time you post something.

We were flooded with calls, and the dog has already been adopted, not in danger of euthanasia. It's disappointing. Here we are getting blasted by untrue statements. The calls are taking valuable time and resources away from other animals at the shelter.

You did not need to use AI for this, so tacky. Craftsmanship reduced to marketing narrative. AI makes the brand look cheaper than TJ Maxx.

A growing number of AI tools can detect fraudulent elements in papers, but they can be expensive to use. Such tools are probably better deployed by journal publishers rather than individual reviewers, says Elisabeth Bik, a science-integrity consultant in San Francisco, California, especially because feeding unpublished content into AI tools can compromise confidentiality and is generally frowned on during peer review.

AI tools like ChatGPT have become pretty much inescapable. The generative chatbots are designed for mental outsourcing, helping humans research, learn, ideate, and even create. As these tools gain in popularity, there's a question of discernment that seems to be haunting us all: what is AI useful for, and what undertakings should be reserved for humans alone? Having ChatGPT help craft an itinerary for an upcoming vacation, for example, is helpful; having it finish a song you've been writing is...less so.

No, Disney did not release footage of a never-before-seen fight sequence between Marvel's Wolverine and Thanos (spoiler: Thanos won). That clip, which amassed over 142,000 views on X over 48 hours, was created using Seedance 2.0, an AI video generation model that ByteDance debuted last week. The tool created a buzz on social media, where one user made a hyperrealistic AI video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting over Jeffrey Epstein.

Will Critchlow catches up with Mike King, founder and CEO at iPullRank to talk about GEO, fanout queries, agents, and what the cutting edge feels like at a top agency. Mike and Will go way back, so this episode covers a lot of ground, from SEO to Mike's view on the place of AI in the production of art. This episode is produced by Mark Cotton and hosted by Will Critchlow - you can follow Will on Twitter: @willcritchlow.

Google says the update improved quality. It aimed to reduce the presence of clickbait and low-value content while surfacing more in-depth, original, and timely material from sites with demonstrated expertise. Some published reports speculated that the update devalued AI-generated content, yet Google's concern is probably not artificial intelligence per se. Rather, it is scaled, thin, or risky AI-generated content that degrades trust.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse dreams seem to have been replaced by a new vision: an AI-generated social feed. In an earnings call on Wednesday, Zuckerberg reiterated his belief that AI will become the next big media format, making feeds "more immersive and interactive:" We started with text, and then moved to photos when we got phones with cameras, and then moved to video when mobile networks got fast enough. Soon, we'll see an explosion of new media formats that are more immersive and interactive, and only possible because of advances in AI.

Celebrity has long been a staple of B2C advertising, but in B2B, it's historically been treated as nothing more than a huge flex. Too often, an A-list name signals budget more than insight. When it's misaligned, the backlash can outweigh the buzz. Look no further than the ire Salesforce received in 2023 for paying Matthew McConaughey millions while simultaneously laying off thousands of employees.

You settle in for a quick scroll through your feed, maybe just to unwind for a minute or two. But somewhere between a cooking hack and a clip you've already forgotten, forty minutes vanished. It's all a blur. Welcome to the era of infinite content and finite attention, where our brains are working overtime just to keep up with the deluge.

Videos of Amelia typically feature her walking through London, or the House of Commons, declaring her love for England and warning of the dangers of militant Muslims or third-world migrants. In one clip she is harangued by bearded man in Islamic attire for eating a pork sausage. The message is one well rehearsed on far-right social media, but it is the AI invention of Amelia that has made her endlessly adaptable,

Now, thanks to the advent of accessible text-to-video generators, which can cough up footage from a simple text prompt, the situation on Facebookand other Meta platforms is turning from dire to disastrous. A quick perusal of the r/FacebookAIslop subreddit reveals the macabre underbelly of the AI slop world, once again highlighting how social media feeds have turned from posts created by our friends and family into an endless parade of mind-numbing drek.

For example, when it was asked what the normal range for liver blood tests was, the AI would give false numbers due to lack of information. Nationality, age, and sex are all factors that play a role in determining the correct results. Therefore, someone could believe they are healthy when they should have actually been seeking medical attention. "Google's AI Overviews can put inaccurate health information at the top of online searches, presenting a risk to people's health,"

On Thursday, SNK released a trailer for Fatal Fury: CotW 's upcoming second season, which launches on January 22. The trailer promises a pretty robust release schedule for the game's anniversary with monthly character drops over a six-month period. Returning characters Kim Jae Hoon, Nightmare Geese, Blue Mary, and Wolfgang Krauser are slated to join the game's roster, too. However, the excitement of fan-favorites returning has been almost entirely overshadowed by the game's latest trailer incorporating apparent AI-generated clips.

San Diego-based Vanna Jimenez became a beauty influencer by accident. A year ago, she began posting her morning routines on TikTok and Instagram out of her tiny antique bathroom. While she initially focused on her love of 1960s fashion, her skincare and makeup - tossed artfully across a silver tray piled with her coffee, jewellery, toothpaste, books and accessories - quickly gained followers and the attention of beauty brands.

Merriam-Webster named "slop" its 2025 word of the year, defining it as "digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence." In its announcement, Merriam-Webster noted that, like " slime, sludge, and muck, slop has the wet sound of something you don't want to touch." Similarly, The New York Times observed that slop, in graphic terms, "conjures images of heaps of unappetizing food being shoveled into troughs."

Various groups are keeping their eyes peeled for hacking and information warfare efforts launched in response to an unprecedented U.S. operation conducted over the weekend that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and brought him to New York to face criminal charges. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is continuing to monitor the cyber landscape in the raid's aftermath. In a written statement, CISA acting Director Madhu Gottumukkala did not acknowledge any disinformation tracking, but said that the recent events in Venezuela demand "heightened vigilance" across sectors.

Meet Neuro-sama, a cutesy AI-powered character which is now the top streamer on Twitch by active subscriber-count, according to Twitch Tracker. At the time of writing, Nuero-sama - streaming via the Twitch channel Vedal987 - has 165,268 paid active subscribers, well above the second-highest channel, the human-ran Jynxzi. On Twitch, each paid subscriber is valued at $5 a month, some of which is split with Twitch. According to an estimate by Dextero, that means Neuro-sama is raking in at least $400,000 a month just from subscriptions - and that's on top of random viewer donations, sponsorships, and ad revenue.
