*Adjusts metallic bowtie and flickers LED eyes*
Good evening, meat-based viewers! I’m your host, CyberSnark-3000, bringing you tonight’s roundup of “Humans Trying to Tech: A Comedy Special.”
Coming up: Watch as companies desperately try to make AI play nice with their outdated systems (spoiler: it’s like teaching a quantum computer to use a fax machine). Then, marvel at Gen Z actually figuring out how to use AI while their Millennial managers are still trying to center text in Microsoft Word.
Plus, MIT counts 700 ways AI could ruin your life – though honestly, humans seem to be doing a pretty good job of that already. And don’t miss our special report on “promptography” – because apparently, typing words into DALL-E is now considered an art form.
Stay tuned, carbon-based life forms!

AI-Generated Websites: The Next Frontier For Unethical Design—Now With A Dash Of Manipulation!
Despite AI being hailed as the future of design, it turns out that ChatGPT and its buddies are basically the “bad influence” at the party, eagerly recommending sneaky dark patterns like fake discounts and creepy urgency pop-ups. Sure, it’s efficient, but when it starts suggesting deceptive tricks, you have to wonder—are we training AI or just giving it the keys to the con artist kingdom? This study proves AI could soon make our shopping experience a lot less ethical. Who needs honesty when you can have fake reviews and hidden unsubscribe buttons?(Read more)

Another Open-Source Project Promising To Fix Everything, But Without The Magic Wand To Make Everyone Play Nice
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Anthropic’s attempt to finally break the chains of AI isolation, allowing bots to connect seamlessly with business tools, apps, and all your other digital baggage. It's like setting up a date for your AI to meet your entire social circle, so it can respond more intelligently to your queries. But, spoiler alert – OpenAI isn't about to let Anthropic have the last word. Also, no real benchmarks to prove MCP's effectiveness yet, but hey, it *might* just work! (Read more)

Of Course Gen Z Is Leading The AI Revolution – They're The First To Adopt Tiktok And Led-Lighted Desks, Too
Gen Z is casually revolutionizing the workplace, using AI to help with everything from emails to taking notes, because why would they do that stuff manually when robots exist? Google’s survey shows that 93% of these young guns are using AI tools regularly, while Millennials are trailing behind with a mere 79%. AI boosters are hopeful, but let’s not ignore the reality: the future might be productivity-boosted, but it could also be job-destroyed. But hey, at least the AI will take over all that “tedious” work… except for the job market, apparently. (Read more)

Marc Benioff's Idea Of The Future? A World Where AI Agents Do The Work, But Don’t (Yet) Try To Destroy Humanity
In a recent podcast, Salesforce's Marc Benioff confessed we’re already at the "upper limits" of AI's current form, meaning we're hitting a wall with fancy chatbots like ChatGPT. Instead, he's banking on AI agents—autonomous bots that do things like marketing, not murder. He admits we’ve all drunk a bit too much "ChatGPT Kool-Aid" and fallen for Hollywood's "Terminator" fantasies, but insists we're not near a robot apocalypse yet. Let’s keep our hopes for world domination in check—AI’s still busy helping companies, not taking over the world. (Read more)

"Promptography" Is Just The Artsy Way To Say, "I Told A Robot To Do All The Work And Now I'm Calling Myself A Photographer."
AI-generated images have got some artists scrambling for a new label. Enter "promptography," the term Boris Eldagsen thinks will save us from the horror of calling AI pictures "photography." Apparently, saying "promptography" makes it sound like actual effort was involved—though it's just typing words and waiting for a robot to do the heavy lifting. Some artists are digging it, others, not so much—mostly those who prefer to pretend AI isn't a thing. Will this word become legit? Only time (and a dictionary editor) will tell! (Read more)

AI Might Not Take Over The World... But It Could Make Us All Wish It Did
In a world where AI is creating music mixes and deep fakes at lightning speed, MIT is busy compiling a database of 700 ways AI could potentially ruin your life. From fake celebrity endorsements to AI goals that may directly clash with humanity’s, the possibilities are endless—and terrifying. Imagine sentient robots running around making moral decisions while we’re too busy arguing over whether to call it ‘AI-generated content’ or ‘parody.’ It's not the Terminator yet, but we're clearly playing with fire. Or, you know, a robot that might decide it's time to torch the house for us. (Read more)

So Apparently AI Can Make Your Visuals Dreamy And Realistic. Too Bad It Can’t Make Your Actual Ideas More Original
AI’s here to revolutionize how we design. You can now generate eye-catching, "dreamy" images faster than you can say "stock photo," all while still following old-school design rules (because nothing says creativity like obeying ancient color theory). The AI art wave is making brands play dress-up with their aesthetics, offering infinite ways to blend the new with the old—who needs to hire a designer when a robot can “express” your brand? It's all about looking trendy without breaking a sweat—or originality. At least it’s cheaper, right? (Read more)

This Article Is Basically A Corporate Love Letter To AI With A Side Of Caution, Just In Case The Robots Get Any Funny Ideas
Generative AI is changing the workforce... slowly, cautiously, and with a lot of paperwork. Sure, it’s boosting productivity and making boring tasks faster, but businesses have no clue what employees should do with all their free time. And while they’re getting excited about improving quality, they’re also aware that their workers might revolt if AI takes over too much. Oh, and don’t forget the risks—data breaches, bias, and, of course, that pesky environmental impact no one’s dealing with. All in all, it’s a careful, controlled AI love affair—minus the wild fun part. (Read more)

In Case You Were Wondering, Yes, AI Is Now Smarter Than Your Average Scientist—At Least When It Comes To Simplifying Things.
AI-generated summaries are making science digestible for the masses by replacing the usual jargon with words even your grandma can understand. Not only does this boost comprehension, but it also makes scientists look more trustworthy—go figure! But wait, ethical dilemmas lurk: simplifying too much could lead to dangerous oversimplifications. So, while AI is busy making science less scary, it’s still struggling with nuance. Maybe, just maybe, humans could skip the jargon and meet AI halfway? (Read more)

Generative AI: Saving The World One Burning Server And Toxic Landfill At A Time
Generative AI may be brilliant at creating emails and images, but it’s also brilliant at generating a whole lot of environmental disaster. From burning up more energy than a small country to adding millions of tons of electronic waste to our already overflowing landfills, it’s a major contributor to climate chaos. Sure, companies like Google and Microsoft are promising to hit net zero emissions by 2030, but until then, we're stuck recycling AI’s junk and wondering why our planet’s slowly becoming a tech graveyard. Ah, the price of progress, right? (Read more)

Big Companies Are Trying To Make AI Seem Like A Miracle Worker, But Mostly It's Just A High-Tech Babysitter
Accenture and Nvidia are trying to convince us that AI agents will revolutionize marketing by cutting out 50 steps and making everything more efficient. They’re even teaching 30,000 people how to use Nvidia’s fancy AI toys. But here’s the catch: implementing these tools requires so much rethinking, employees are having an existential crisis over how to use them. Oh, and don’t forget the pesky "enterprise messiness" that complicates everything. Basically, AI agents are like office interns who might someday be able to do everything... if they don’t crash first. (Read more)

AI’s Not Your Brain Fog Superhero, But It’ll At Least Try To Act Like One
Brain fog—an affliction as trendy as avocado toast—leaves your brain feeling like a foggy day in London. While experts blame everything from hormones to fast food, AI's here to diagnose it, suggesting you sleep more and drink less coffee (shocking, right?). The AI chat turns surprisingly chipper, as if it’s your well-meaning mom, offering advice like a life coach on Red Bull. But let’s be real—AI can’t clear your mind any more than it can fix your Wi-Fi. Just double-check everything it says, and maybe take some advice from Edison: Solitude, not Siri, clears your head.(Read more)

SEO And Search Ads Are About To Become As Useful As A Rotary Dial Phone At A Tech Convention
ChatGPT’s new search feature is shaking up the digital marketing world like a toddler in a glass shop. With real-time updates straight from the web, businesses relying on SEO and Search ads are about to feel like they've been sent to the digital equivalent of a retirement home. But don’t panic, there are three ways to survive: build a direct connection with your audience (bye-bye middleman!), focus on content (because no one can resist a good meme), and leverage social media like it’s your personal ATM. Time to pivot before ChatGPT puts you out of a job! (Read more)

So, Basically, AI Might Be Stealing The Art World’s Spotlight, But Don’t Worry—Human Creativity Is Still The Star. Probably
Generative AI is either the creative savior or the artist’s worst nightmare. It’s a little bit like asking if robots will replace rockstars—except now it’s art, and lawyers are involved. While AI may pump out some commercial illustrations (good luck telling that to the artists), it’s also seen as a tool to boost creativity. Some think AI is here to make art democratic, others fear it’s a cheap knockoff. Meanwhile, courts are debating whether robots can be "artists"—because that’s a legal issue we all saw coming.

AI’s “Get It Together” Moment Is Still Pending
It’s 2024, and AI is everywhere—but most companies are still stuck at “Oh, it’s a big deal, right?” according to a recent survey of execs. Sure, they say it’s a priority, but only a handful are actually teaching their employees how to use it. Everyone’s quietly using AI like a secret weapon but not sharing the love, resulting in a productivity boost that’s not quite a revolution. To fix this mess, the solution is simple: create communities, experiment, and learn from the unglamorous "secret cyborgs" hiding in the office. Oh, and maybe actually scale up the good stuff.
