Chatbots are a limitation and AI image tools, especially Midjourney, are much further along in developing new UX/UI approaches to working with AI that better take advantage of key AI strengths (it can create many variations) & the key human roles of vision, curation & selection.

By

This does not let the model makers off the hook, nor does it mean that building ethical AI is any less important. But users cannot abrogate responsibility, either.

By
–
I think it is valuable to expand the idea of AI ethics from a narrow focus on making AI creators & models act ethically to also placing the onus on users & creators to apply AI ethically Cheating is still cheating, lying is still lying, misusing a tool is still misusing a tool.

Prompt Engineering for Shopping Deal Evaluation with LLMs
By
–
The prompt was “is this a good deal?” (Prompting is really not that hard for most requests) And it is an interesting case where hallucinations don’t matter that much (though I didn’t find any). Most online shopping guides are out of date, riddled with conflict-of-interest & odd)

AI Autonomously Running Vending Machine Reveals Capabilities
By
–
What happens if you let AI run a vending machine? Actually autonomously managing a money-making process is a very good test for AI. Anthropic did exactly that, and the flaws (& some strengths) provide a great lens on what AI is good and bad at, and how those gaps might be closed

By
–
This was pretty clever from Claude. “Claude, do the most self-referential claudeception artifact you can.” That was the only prompt. (Also, I have to acknowledge that Claudeception is a memorable, funny name for having a Claude artifact use Claude – a rare AI lab naming win.)
