Reddit trumpets revenue source besides ads: Lucrative AI deals

[ad_1] Artificial intelligence will become an important part of Reddit Inc.'s business, the company said Thursday in its long-awaited filing for an initial public offering — tapping into a revenue stream that could be both lucrative and controversial. San Francisco-based Reddit, a platform that hosts conversations on thousands of different topics, makes most of its money by selling ads that appear alongside social content.

Can chatbots be therapists? Only if you want them to be

[ad_1] A manager at artificial intelligence firm OpenAI caused consternation recently by writing that she just had "a quite emotional, personal conversation" with her firm's viral chatbot ChatGPT."Never tried therapy before but this is probably it?" Lilian Weng posted on X, formerly Twitter, prompting a torrent of negative commentary accusing her of downplaying mental illness. However, Weng's take on her interaction with ChatGPT may be explained by a version of the placebo effect outlined this week by research in the Nature Machine Intelligence journal. A team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Arizona State University asked more than 300 participants to interact with mental health AI programmes and primed them on what to expect.Some were told the chatbot was empatheti...
