The British current affairs and satirical fortnightly magazine, Private Eye, runs a regular 'A-Eye' column on artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 1961, it's the British equivalent of America's The Onion, France's Charlie Hebdo, Netherlands' De Nieuwe, South Africa's Noseweek and Spain's El Jueves.
Below are three snippets of concerning news drawn from the world of artificial intelligence recently reported in Private Eye.

AI can be a useful tool, but not reliable enough without human review.
AI definitely needs human oversight.
Wonder if politicians asked this question of Chat Gpt
ChatGPT offered nothing new. It's pathetic.
@spunkycumfun Lol, maybe ask your grandkid , get a better prediction
@taurean62dbn That's funny you mention that. I had a discussion with my stepson last night who didn't believe me when I said dinosaurs were probably wiped out by an asteroid or a comet. He then searched Google who now lead with an AI Overview and it agreed with me. It was his blind belief that Google AI is the font of all knowledge that worried me.
@spunkycumfun Not only him, his generation , which is scary .
@spunkycumfun There is comment on Ai towards the end of this podcast, this is something that Ai developers have never brought up in public ?
@taurean62dbn The last point is very interesting and very pertinent.
@spunkycumfun Lol. the old garbage in , garbage out, may apply
@spunkycumfun With Ratcliffe now the director of the CIA and Trump's go to for intelligence , not Gabbard , being a long term AIPAC asset , it is guarenteed that US will strike
@taurean62dbn And there's a lot of garbage on the internet!
@spunkycumfun Tue , lol.and we adding to it
@taurean62dbn I'm not sure AI can reach this site!
@taurean62dbn If he does strike, then MAGA may start to splinter.
@spunkycumfun What worries me what happens after, there was a study done in 2013 by MIT , on the cost to the US economy of strikes against Iran , was 1.7 trillion. With US economy already fragile , this would be a disaster. His supporters will not blame him , who do they direct their anger to, democrats or Aipac ?
@taurean62dbn Given he campaigned hard on no 'forever wars' and even being a 'peace president', I think quite a few MAGA supporters will turn against Trump if he orders a strike on Iran.
One of the options on my new laptop was to set up AI features - I am holding off so far. I don't really want to write like a bot and I would guess part of the user agreement is that it can harvest MY content to learn...
The BBC is about to sue an AI company, Perplexity, for scraping its content without permission to train AI models! There's no hope for content creators, whether text, image or sound, in the AI world!
I really appreciate this side of aff, the articles add to the human dimension of everything we are engaged in, something we need more of..
I'm glad you liked the post. there's only so much about sex one can write about and read. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm afraid I can't get the link to work.
🤔
I'm glad you're thinking.
I prefer Human-Eye News, though often are too subjective or interested, but A-Eye also can be manipulated and controlled 🙄
Give me human-generated and human-verified news any day of the week.
Quite a few vid on YT also, the main give away , lol, is the same generative voice
I'm not on YouTube much. I don't think I'm missing much.
@spunkycumfun Was the same , till i found that all podcasters on other platforms are now posting their shows also on YT, free content
. For the first time in may YT ratings exceeded combined cable and broadcast tv . You need to start watching 
@taurean62dbn I'm always late to the party!
I like the way Charles is thinking here, even if it's AI
ROTFLMAO, I only wish he would really do that!! 
😂🤣😂🤣
I know the late Queen didn't like Trump. I suspect King Charles has the same opinion as his mother.
When posting shots on AFF that I've taken I use a process built into my photo processing program to remove all the identifying data.
A smart move.
