Ashley ‘Alive’ and ‘AI Ashley’-this radio station just created the world’s first AI DJ

[ad_1] Live 95.5, a radio station based in Portland, Oregon, recently made an announcement that divide opinion among listeners like few things have done in the past.

This tool utilizes the advanced capabilities of GPT-4, an artificial intelligence model, to generate a script based on trending news, which is then read by a synthetic voice known as "AI Ashley." Yes, it will be a cloned voice of the real Ashley who is very mcuh alive and kicking, but not, seemingly, in protest.To address concerns, Live 95.5 assured listeners that the AI host, AI Ashley, would not replace the traditional human host, Ashley Elzinga, reported TechCrunch.

Both humans and AI hallucinate — but not in the same way

[ad_1] The launch of ever-capable large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3.5 has sparked much interest over the past six months. However, trust in these models has waned as users have discovered they can make mistakes – and that, just like us, they aren't perfect. An LLM that outputs incorrect information is said to be “hallucinating”, and there is now a growing research effort towards minimising this effect. But as we grapple with this task, it's worth reflecting on our own capacity for bias and hallucination – and how this impacts the accuracy of the LLMs we create. By understanding the link between AI's hallucinatory potential and our own, we can begin to create smarter AI systems that will ultimately help reduce human error. How people hallucinate It's no secret people make up i...

However, Turiano added, “The desire to go fast was a mistake for some of the other news services,” he said without singling out a specific outlet. “We're not making that mistake.”Gannett is hardly ...
