The place AI (or rather, Machine Learning) is useful is in STEM stuff. Analysing datasets, finding patterns, picking out directions not yet spotted. Key here is that the output is validated and checked, not just accepted unquestioningly, like generative AI.

Kenya’s appeal court has paused a defamation case against the BBC over its 2015 Secret Bribes of Big Tobacco exposé, a move that could reshape how Kenyans obtain evidence from abroad. The suit was filed by National Assembly speaker Moses Wetang’ula.

Once I stayed up all night drawing actual illustrations for a spot that ran nationally on short notice and I would like to tell the people who “hardly slept” because they were “writing prompts” that they are soft pathetic babies who can go to baby hell.

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'
