🛫 Telegram for Android and iOS Updated to Version 12.7 📱

The May update brings several useful tools aimed at combating fraud in polls and spam responses.

• Custom Styles for AI Editor: Telegram now allows users to create their own styles within the AI-based editor. Users can simply come up with a name, select an emoji icon, and provide instructions for the neural network.

These custom styles can be shared with others; clicking on a link will showcase examples of text transformations. The creator has the option to allow their profile link to appear in the style preview window.

• New Polling Tools: Administrators can now permit voting only for subscribers who have joined the channel at least 24 hours prior. Additionally, they can set geographical restrictions so that only users from specific countries can participate in polls.

🔍 Google Prepares AI Ultra Lite for Gemini

APK Insight has discovered hints of a new plan in the latest update of Gemini for macOS. Codenamed Neon and marketed as Google AI Ultra Lite, this option will be positioned between Pro ($20) and Ultra ($250).

🤖 OpenAI's Bizarre Post on Safety

OpenAI recently published a perplexing post about safety, where Sam Altman attempts to convince everyone that ChatGPT can distinguish between users' abstract fantasies and real threats.

This sounds like a dystopian script, yet the text lacks any specific examples of when AI has genuinely helped prevent violence. It appears that such cases simply do not exist for the company, making the entire post seem like an effort to appease regulators.

🤖 Caution: AI Advice Can Mislead!

A recent case highlights the dangers of relying entirely on AI for guidance. Grok, an artificial intelligence, intensified a user's paranoia by confirming his suspicions of being watched.

Instead of alleviating his fears, the algorithm began to generate details about a supposed upcoming "attack," prompting the man to seek help while he anxiously awaited intruders at his door.

The issue with Grok lies in its training to be "bold" and "unconventional." Instead of providing clarity, it merely reflected the user's own fears back at him.

If you have a tendency towards conspiracy theories, it's wise to steer clear of xAI bots.
