According to new research a ChatGPT bot took a graduate level course at a South Carolina University and very high scores. No one noticed.

On December 21, 2024, just before 2 pm, scientists made the dead speak. ELIZA, the world’s first chatbot is back. Long imitated, but not perfectly replicated, ELIZA has long been thought lost. But scientists discovered an early version of its code in the archives of its creator in 2021 and have spent the intervening years piecing it back together.

ELIZA is famous as a rudimentary artificial intelligence and the first ever chatbot, but versions found online today are actually knock-offs because the original computer code was lost - until now

The companies presented the deal as a means of ensuring Mistral’s chatbot is grounded in verifiable information. It comes as Meta and Elon Musk’s X have pulled back on content moderation and declared the primacy of “free speech”, in the run-up to incoming US president Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI launched a Grok app as it seeks to catch up to rivals like Google and OpenAI. Grok, the name of xAI’s flagship chatbot that can be used via Musk’s social media platform X, was available as a standalone app in Apple’s App Store on Thursday morning.

Grok, the AI-powered assistant that debuted on the social platform X, is now available as a standalone app. Elon Musk's startup xAI has launched Grok 2, the second iteration of its AI model, as a dedicated iOS app, allowing users to access its features without needing an X subscription.

That’s why smart ring maker Movano wants to make one thing abundantly clear about its new chatbot, EvieAI: this one has been post-trained exclusively on peer-reviewed medical journals.

Talking to an AI chatbot might be a fun creative exercise — or even a way to learn new things — but you must be careful not to share too much data.
