President Biden is still running for re-election, President Trump hasn't been shot, and Kamala Harris is not a contender for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. Those are some of the wacky misstatements that ChatGPT shared with me yesterday and today, prompted by my questions to it about the dizzying array of major news developments we've been bombarded with for over a week now -- which, in addition to stressing us all out, has also laid bare a salient fact about the many AI chatbots we're constantly being told are oh-so-close to human-level intelligence: Put simply, when it comes to an awareness and understanding of the latest news headlines, these chatbots often have no idea about what's what and will either refuse to answer your question, get it completely wrong, or give you outdated information. And I'm sorry -- that strikes me as pretty pathetic. Moreover, while the most popular AI chatbots have all struggled to one degree or another with the dizzying pace of breaking news and how to make sense of it all, I'm going to pick on OpenAI's ChatGPT here -- for reasons that include the messianic language OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tends to use whenever he talks about AI superintelligence. ChatGPT, of course, was also the chatbot that lit a fire under the rest of the AI industry, ultimately terrifying Google so much that Google was fine with breaking its own core products in order to try and catch up. Let's recap. ChatGPT can, among other things, write an original poem for you, help you compose an essay, practice with you for a job interview, generate flashcards to help you study for a test, suggest meal plans, suggest workout routines, help with travel planning, create crossword puzzles, help you write a song, generate concept ideas for graphic design projects, and edit and proofread technical documents. But ask it whether Biden has opted not to run for re-election, and look how it responded to me (mind you, it gave me this response a full 24 hours after Biden's letter, posted to X/Twitter, had already ricocheted around the world) That disclaimer you see at the bottom, by the way, also does not cut it. Guess what? I'm not a real-time news product myself, either. I'm a rational human being with the cognitive function that OpenAI's leadership repeatedly assures us that its AI chatbot is coming close to replicating. Furthermore, take a look again at those skills I listed above that ChatGPT can "perform." An understanding that President Biden has decided not to run for re-election is way, way down on that list in terms of difficulty. The president himself posted a letter explaining his decision to his official social channels. An elementary school-age child could read that letter and grasp what it means. Not so, apparently, for the software that's coming for all of our jobs. Meanwhile, let's keep going. A full week after a gunman shot at President Trump at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, here's what ChatGPT told me about what happened: For this instance of ChatGPT's b.s., you didn't even need to read anything to get at the truth of the matter. You just need eyes, and to have watched the video that's been replayed countless times over the past week. I could go on. For now, I'll just say that I'm happy to be proven wrong about why an AI chatbot would spit out nonsense like this, but here's my theory: These chatbots that have so bedazzled Silicon Valley and a portion of the normal world outside are more or less copycat machines. That's all. Read enough poems, for example, and you can produce a facsimile of one. Same with almost any other kind of content. That's how a system like ChatGPT works--by standing on the shoulders of the humans that it purports to be good enough to replace. Where that system falls short, though, is in its obvious inability to copy or to appropriate a fact set that's changing on the fly. For more on this, I highly recommend Ed Zitron's fantastic newsletter Where's Your Ed At, and in particular past editions, including "Silicon Valley's False Prophet" and "Sam Altman is Full of Shit." In the meantime, let this be a reminder to all of you to double- and even triple-check any facts that an AI chatbot like ChatGPT gives you. Even copycat machines have limits.

Æthelwealh, King of Sussex, emerges from the mists of early medieval England as a figure of considerable interest and significance. His reign, which spanned from around 660 to 685 AD, was marked by pivotal events that influenced the socio-political landscape of southern England.  Despite the scarcity of detailed contemporary records, the available historical, archaeological, and hagiographical sources provide a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of Æthelwealh, revealing a ruler who played a crucial role in the Christianization of his kingdom and navigated the complex interplay of power among the early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.  Read moreSection: NewsHistoryFamous PeopleRead Later 

Life during the Shōgun era in Japan was marked by significant social, political, and cultural transformations. This period began with the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate, established by Tokugawa Ieyasu after the end of the Sengoku, or Warring States period. The Sengoku period was characterized by intense conflict and power struggles among regional feudal lords, resulting in a century of upheaval. With the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan entered an era of relative peace and stability.  Read moreSection: NewsHistoryRead Later

The late John Lennon’s son, Sean Ono, recently had a chat with The Sunday Times while promoting the re-release of his father’s 1973 solo album, Mind Games. Sean is taking it upon himself to preserve John’s legacy through music, as evidenced by his latest release. The 48-year-old believes society forgets things easily these days, and the late legend’s music means too much to be erased. It has been 44 years since the Beatles frontman was gunned down by a certain Mark David Chapman near his New York City apartment, and life has not been the same for Sean ever since. How Sean Ono will keep his father John Lennon’s legacy alive IMAGINE: JOHN LENNON, John Lennon, (photo from recording of ‘Imagine’ album, 1971), 1988. © Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection Sean was only five when John was murdered, but he has managed to connect with him via music. In Sean’s words, John’s lyrics are like a diary, giving him a peek into what life was like during the making of each song as the talented rocker got personal with his songwriting. RELATED: John Lennon’s Guitar That Was Lost For 50 Years Finally Sells For $2.85 Million At Auction For example, John was reportedly in a fix when he created Mind Games in the early ’70s. At the time, he left his wife and Sean’s mother, Yoko Ono for their assistant May Pang. Interestingly, Yoko was in on this affair and pretty much initiated it to have some control after their breakup still.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Sean Ono Lennon (@sean_ono_lennon) Chip off the old block It is not far-fetched to say Sean was a reincarnation of John as they share the same birthdays. Like his dad, Sean is also a talented musician with three solo albums so far and with his psychedelic rock band, The Claypool Lennon Delirium. He has also collaborated with Yoko on several projects and has worked as a producer for other artists, including Lana Del Ray. Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono at the EMI Grammy Party, LACMA, Los Angeles, CA 02-08-04 Sean is not the only young and thriving musician in the Lennon household; he also bonds over music with his older step-brother Julian Charles Lennon, who was born to John and his first wife, Cynthia. He has released up to seven studio albums and is into photography, filmmaking and writing, with a children’s book titled Touch the Earth to his name. Sean says he talks with Julian almost every day, and they cherish each other deeply.
