Lord of the Rings game makers issue apology by ChatGPT

In a curious turn of events, it appears that even the notorious AI, ChatGPT, can't escape its own gaffes. Reports are buzzing about an apology for "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum" that seems to have been penned by our beloved AI friend.

Some former Daedalic employees spilled the beans, claiming they had no hand in this mea culpa, and it was actually Nacon, the game's publisher, that pushed the sorry note. But here's where it gets fun: rumor has it that ChatGPT was the ghostwriter!

The apology started with a bang – or rather, a typo – as it referred to the game as "The Lord of Ring: Gollum." Oops! It seems ChatGPT had a little too much virtual eggnog, leading to this delightful blunder.

Former Daedalic folks also chimed in, blaming the game's rocky launch on a lack of funds. The game budget, a mere 15 million Euros, proved to be the size of a hobbit's purse for an AAA title. They lamented cutscenes and characters hidden away, victims of a tight schedule. As one former developer put it, "You can't just throw more money at something like that and hope for magic."

In the end, "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum" found itself in the fires of game development doom, becoming the lowest-rated game of the year. But hey, at least ChatGPT got to try its hand at writing an apology! 😅📝

BBC blocks ChatGPT from crawling its content

The BBC is playing hard to get with ChatGPT! They've decided to keep their content under lock and key when it comes to this AI text tool. This move, though, isn't unique – Reuters and Getty Images have done similar things. The reason? Copyright worries and privacy concerns.

Rhodri Talfan Davies, the BBC's director of nations, is all about protecting the interests of their license fee payers. He thinks letting AI scrape their data without permission isn't in the public interest.

This isn't just a BBC thing; it's a content creator thing. Companies want to make money off their content when AI's in the mix, but it's tricky. It's like trying to wrangle a hyperactive puppy – control's tough to keep.

Now, opinions on the BBC's move are all over the place. Some say it's a smart move, protecting copyrights and such. Others think it's like putting creativity in a straightjacket.

The big question: How do you keep this AI genie in the bottle without stifling the creative magic? It's a puzzle, and it'll take a lot of talking between content creators, AI wizards, and policymakers to sort it out.

Those not using ChatGPT are akin to those disapproving of electricity

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son predicts the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) within a decade, ten times more intelligent than all human intelligence combined.

He emphasizes the need for nations and individuals to embrace AI, comparing those who don't to unempowered goldfish. Son believes that those not using ChatGPT were akin to those disapproving of electricity!

With an emphasis on Japan's need to embrace digital technology to avoid falling behind, Son envisions a future with self-driving cars, optimized supply chains, and advanced financial simulation with AGI.

He also discusses UK chip firm Arm's role in AI chip production and the importance of efficient chips for sustainability. Arm CEO Rene Haas confirms the growth of AI-related business for Arm but acknowledges the challenges of power consumption in AI.
