Jesus died for our sins. So if we don't sin, he died for nothing.



๐ฆEsquire Singapore published an AI-generated interview with Mackenyu, the actor who plays Roronoa Zoro in Netflix's live-action One Piece, because he was too busy to attend in person. The magazine fed transcripts from his previous interviews into Claude and Copilot to generate new responses, then published the result with a note that it was produced with AI and edited by humans. Mackenyu never responded to their emails and his talent agency has not promoted the piece. The AI-generated interview includes a passage about the pressures of living up to his late father, legendary action star Sonny Chiba. My Take There is a version of AI in journalism that makes sense. Transcription, research assistance, fact checking, summarization. This is not that. Esquire couldn't get an interview so they generated one using a model trained on things the subject had said before and published it as if it represented his current thoughts and voice. Mackenyu never agreed to this and almost certainly doesn't know it exists. Saying they had a driving need for a feature and had to be inventive should make every reader of any publication nervous about what they're actually reading. The driving need was a content slot. Inventing quotes from a real person and publishing them, regardless of what tool you used to invent them, is fabrication. Disclosing the AI involvement doesn't change that, and generating emotional statements about deeply personal subjects on someone's behalf without their consent is not a creative solution to a scheduling problem.

no and this is nowhere close to "Pixar-grade"



@realpeteyb123 Japan is a high trust society, that does not tolerate diversity. If you're a foreigner in Japan, you have to assimilate or you will not make it. Japan will especially not accommodate a certain group of foreigners. Can you guess which group this is?โช๏ธ





sure NYT I believe that a โrestaurant gap relationshipโ is not only a real thing but that a phenomenon that has only emerged in the past 5-10 years wrought by opportunistic opentable scrapers, private dining clubs, credit card points, concierge services, and nycโs increasingly competitive restaurant scene is in fact โthe ultimate test of compatibilityโ


Microsoft says that copilot is for entertainment only and use it at your own risk "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Donโt rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk."








Can you tell which of these four fruit still lifes were made by AI and which were made by a 19th-century painter? At least one was painted by a human, and at least one was made by an AI. Place your guesses in the 4 surveys below:
