TONY KHAN TALKS ABOUT HIS CHATGPT ROUTINE

This weekend the CEO of All-Elite Wrestling admitted to using ChatGPT as part of his writing process. The news comes on the heels of the fact Marvel’s “Secret Invasion” used generative AI to create their opening title sequence.

AI is creeping into the media like a silent shadow.

Tony Khan’s interview with CNBC will make you nervous at first. It’s how we felt when we first watched, but the idea didn’t feel that awful after it settled in our minds. After all, ChatGPT didn’t write the entire show.

AEW is a rough-and-tumble outfit trying to take on a goliath called World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE); maybe you’ve heard of them. They need every advantage they can find, and their limited production setup allows them to experiment with ChatGPT.

But using AI won’t boost their ratings; not yet.

Khan uses ChatGPT as a brainstorming companion more than an actual writer. He tells the model all about his current roster and bounces ideas off it for the next show to see how it would react. He’s tailoring the conversation to the strengths of conversational AI.

Because wrestling is formulaic.

You can pull certain buttons and levers in a show to earn a “pop,” which is when the audience rises and applauds cool moves or moments. Khan is searching for the right blocks, a segment of the show, to keep the audience engaged for two hours weekly.

That’s an arduous task, but ChatGPT can help offer new perspectives.

So, unlike the MCU debacle or the fake Joe Rogan podcast, we have an honest attempt by a media company to incorporate ChatGPT without replacing people.

It’s a surefire bet that more people are doing this than AEW. But most of them won’t admit it until it’s advantageous, unfortunately.

IT’S TIME TO TALK ABOUT A SERIOUS ISSUE

Warning, this piece is not an easy read. It’s not happy news about AI, but it’s important.

The New York Times published a piece based on a new academic report by Thorn and Stanford Internet Observatory. The headline will make your stomach sink: child predators use AI to generate images to sell on the dark web.

The internet can be a dark place.

We can’t forget that. The fact that 1% of all these horrible images floating around the dark are AI-generated is not a good feeling. That’s terrible, and we can’t look past the fact people are using diffusion models for insidious reasons.

In the early years of social media, platforms like Facebook and Twitter reckoned with a similar issue. It’s a sad reality we all try to forget about when we think about the wonders of the internet.

No one likes talking about the dark web.

Shady corners and malevolent alleys welcome the worst of the worst, but AI companies don’t want to be complicit. Stability AI is the main problem.

Stable Diffusion is open-sourced. People can download it and alter the model to fit Not Safe For Work (NSFW) purposes. That action violates US law, but Stability AI is still working to put the proper guardrails and tracking systems in place.

They were late to the punch, but there is good news.

Most of the AI companies you see today were ahead of the curve. They saw this coming thanks to social media companies' blunders and built preventative measures from the start.

DALL-E won’t willingly make any NSFW image, and Midjourney tweaks its moderation system all the time to prevent that kind of prompting.

A new generation of tech safety workers is coming of age, and their experience from the early days of social media is crucial. So while the news is bleak, there is hope.

AI can do so many incredible things. Let’s not let immoral and unlawful behavior win.

Good Content, Yoda Vice

Who knew Yoda could play a Miami mafia boss in the 80s? The fact you can still see his eyes squinting through the sunglasses is the cherry on top, tbh.
