A new social‑media craze lets users create AI‑generated images of their present self hugging a childhood version of themselves. The "hug your younger self" or "hug baby me" trend, popular on Instagram and TikTok, relies on Google Gemini’s image‑generation capabilities accessed through the Nano Banana tool. Participants upload two solo photos—one current and one from childhood—and craft specific prompts, often invoking Polaroid aesthetics. The resulting pictures are described as realistic, nostalgic, and emotionally resonant, prompting widespread sharing, personal reflection, and plans to use the images as wallpapers or keepsakes.Leggi di più

OpenAI released a study showing its latest GPT‑5 models exhibit significantly less political bias than earlier versions. The research comes amid a U.S. executive order that bars "woke" AI from federal contracts and calls for ideological neutrality. OpenAI reports a 30% reduction in bias and less than 0.01% of production responses showing political bias. The company tested the model with a suite of questions derived from U.S. party platforms and varied political framings, and used GPT‑5 itself to grade responses across five bias dimensions, though the methodology has drawn scrutiny.Leggi di più

A recent Deloitte survey shows that while a majority of U.S. consumers are actively using or experimenting with generative AI, they also express strong concerns about privacy, data security, and the trustworthiness of tech companies. More than half of respondents pay for AI services, yet many still verify AI‑generated information and are reluctant to share personal data. The findings highlight a paradox: rapid adoption of AI alongside growing skepticism about its impact and the motives of the firms behind it.Leggi di più
