MIT Technology Review: AI chatbots are giving out people’s real phone numbers. “In March, a software developer in Israel was contacted on WhatsApp after Google’s chatbot Gemini provided incorrect customer service instructions that included his number. And in April, a PhD candidate at the University of Washington was messing around on Gemini and got it to cough up her colleague’s personal […]

The Register: Microsoft researchers find AI models and agents can’t handle long-running tasks. “Companies exploring automated workflows would be well advised to keep their AI agents on a short leash.

Pivot to AI: Kohl-Verlag’s new line of AI slop school textbooks. “The authors and illustrators don’t seem to exist. One author photo turned out to be a stock image. The books seem to have passed through editors who don’t exist either — because the books are AI slop, with really obvious AI-style errors that would have been spotted instantly if a single human had looked.”

NBC News: AI is the boss at this retail store. What could go wrong?. “When NBC News called Luna several days before the store’s grand opening to learn about Luna’s plans and perspective, the cheerful but decidedly inhuman voice routinely overpromised and, on several occasions, lied about its own actions.

Techdirt: Ars Fires Reporter For Accidentally Using Fake AI Quotes. “There are several interesting layers here. The biggest being that AI isn’t an excuse to simply turn your brain off and no longer do rudimentary fact checking. At the same time, this can’t really be unwound from the fact that media ownership rushed to tightly integrate often under-cooked LLM models into an already very […]

Northeastern University: They wanted to put autonomous AI to the test.

University of Exeter: Wildlife imaging shows that AI models aren’t as smart as we think. “Marketing for AI imaging systems often suggests that models can easily tackle novel scenarios across ecosystems and settings, much in the same way as human observers. But in a new article, two University of Exeter researchers argue that this is based on a ‘flawed assumption’.”
