A Convincing Deepfake of Steve Jobs Announcing “ChatGPT by Apple” has been Created with Only ChatGPT and a Voice Synthesiser

Jan 22, 2023

An AI-generated deepfake of Steve Jobs, the late co-founder of Apple, unveiling a “new” AI technology by the company has gone viral on social media platforms like Reddit and YouTube.

Video content creator, Synthetic Voices on YouTube, had posted a recent video on their channel, titled “Steve Jobs on ChatGPT: The Future of AI Communication”.

The aforementioned video is posted below:

The 1 minute 27 second audio used in the video was scripted by ChatGPT, the famously known language model developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI and the voice of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, was read out by a machine-learning voice synthesizer, elevenlabs.io.

The advanced technology, which uses deep learning algorithms and a voice synthesizer, was able to mimic the speech and mannerisms of the iconic entrepreneur, leaving many onlookers convinced that Steve Jobs had returned from the dead. The incident has raised questions about the capabilities of AI in mimicking human speech and behaviour, as well as the ethics of using such technology to impersonate real individuals.

The viral sensation also has sparked discussions about the future of AI and its potential impact on society. Some have praised the technology for its ability to revolutionize industries and improve our daily lives, while others have raised concerns about the potential for misuse and abuse of the technology.

Internet users are also cautious that with such advancements come ethical concerns, especially when it comes to impersonating real individuals without their consent.

Apple Granted Patent for Crack-resistant Foldable Display Technology

Jan 22, 2023

Apple‘s interest in foldable technology is not new, as the company has been granted several patents in recent years related to the technology. The latest patent, which was granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office, describes a foldable display that is designed to be crack-resistant. This could potentially address one of the main concerns with foldable devices, which is their fragility.

The patent with patent number US-20230011092-A1 relates to a display that is made up of multiple layers, including a flexible substrate, a thin-film transistor layer, and a protective layer. The protective layer is designed to prevent cracks from forming in the flexible substrate, which is the part of the display that is most susceptible to damage.

In addition to the crack-resistant display, Apple has also been granted a patent for a self-healing display. This technology would allow the display to recover from small scratches, which is another common issue with foldable devices.

While many experts believe that a foldable iPhone is unlikely, there have been reports of a possible foldable iPad. This would allow Apple to experiment with the technology and refine it before potentially releasing a foldable iPhone. A foldable iPad would also be less risky for the company, as the iPad is a less important product in Apple’s portfolio compared to the iPhone.

With more and more companies entering the foldable market, including Google with its upcoming Pixel Fold, it seems likely that we will see a foldable device from Apple in the near future. This new patent and previous ones on self-healing displays will likely be a key factor in the development of Apple’s foldable device, bringing more durability and reliability to the foldable form factor.

Say Goodbye to Distracting Notifications with Instagram’s ‘Quiet Mode’

By

Jan 22, 2023

Instagram has announced the launch of a new feature called “Quiet Mode,” which aims to help users take a break from the app and reduce anxiety. The feature silences incoming notifications, auto-replies to DMs, and sets your status to ‘In Quiet Mode’ to inform friends that you’re not active on the app at present. The company will also prompt teen users to enable the feature if they’re using the app late at night. Here are the details…

Instagram’s new ‘Quiet Mode’ helps you take a break from the app

The “Quiet Mode” update is one of several changes rolling out, which also include expanded parental control tools and other tools to manage recommendations. This move comes as Instagram works to make its app less of a target for regulators and lawmakers who have been concerned with social media’s potential harms, particularly for teenage users.

Instagram has also added several teen safety features, including those to protect teens’ privacy and reduce unwanted adult contact, limit ad targeting, restrict teens’ access to mature content, and others to help parents monitor and manage their teens’ Instagram use through parental controls.

Quiet Mode feature is not just to introduce a tool that pushes users to take a break, but it focuses on the real-world impacts that accompany trying to step away for a bit from an app that you regularly use, and one where others expect you to be available. For young people in particular, Instagram has grown to become a popular messaging tool.

With Quiet Mode, Instagram users can choose to take a break, to study, to sleep, or to otherwise disengage. When you exit Quiet Mode, the app will offer a summary of what you missed during your downtime to help you get caught up.

Quiet Mode is launching first to users in the U.S., United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and Instagram says it hopes to roll it out to more countries soon. Along with Quiet Mode, Instagram is also rolling out a handful of updates, including the ability for parents to see the accounts their teen has blocked, and better control of what shows up on the app’s Explore page.
