    Lil Wayne Isn’t Worried About AI Because He’s Too Unique and “Amazing”

    Futurism, 08/05/23. In a recent interview with Billboard, Lil Wayne expressed his lack of concern regarding AI replacing him. The rapper confidently stated that AI cannot replicate his unique talent because he is “naturally, organically amazing.” While AI can mimic human voices convincingly, it lacks the organic creativity and skilled wordplay exhibited by artists like Lil Wayne. Although his remarks may come across as braggadocious, they highlight the irreplaceable qualities of human artistry. This “beef” between Lil Wayne and AI has been declared the best of the year.

    AI Swipes Data By Listening to Keyboard Keystrokes with 95% Accuracy

    Tom’s Hardware, 08/05/23. In a recent study conducted by researchers from Cornell University, Joshua Harrison, Ehsan Toreini, and Maryam Mehrnezhad have trained an AI model to interpret keyboard input from audio recordings with impressive accuracy. By using keystroke audio to train the model, they achieved up to 95% accuracy in predicting what was typed on the keyboard. Even when using Zoom to train the system, the accuracy only dropped to 93%. However, to achieve such accuracy, the model needs to be trained to a specific keyboard with references for each keystroke sound. This type of cyber attack can be mitigated by changing typing style or introducing noise to the input. The study provides detailed insights into their findings for those interested in learning more about their research. READ THE ARTICLE

    Why graphic designers think generative A.I. needs them as much as they need it

    CNBC, 08/05/23. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) programs, like OpenAI’s DALL-E and Midjourney, are revolutionizing the world of graphic design. These tools, such as Adobe’s Firefly, offer graphic designers the ability to meet the increasing demand for visual content. However, designers are aware that AI is only as good as the human mind prompting it. The role of AI in the graphic design industry is seen as a tool to enhance creativity and save time, rather than a replacement for human designers. While legal complexities and copyright concerns accompany AI-generated artwork, designers view AI as a playground for experimentation and innovation. Adobe, with its AI applications like Photoshop’s AI Generative Fill, is making strides in incorporating AI into its design products. The demand for visual content has skyrocketed, and AI tools can help meet the increasing content supply chain issue. Despite the potential of AI in graphic design, experts believe that it can never replace the creative edge and authenticity of human designers. READ THE ARTICLE
