#5 News Story 2
Summary
OpenAI’s GPT-4o represents a significant advancement in AI, offering more natural and engaging interactions with users. This new version can conduct voice conversations in real-time, mimicking human-like traits such as empathy, humor, and responsiveness to emotional cues. It integrates text, images, audio, and video, making it versatile for various applications like education and customer service. While it raises ethical concerns about emotional attachment and manipulation, GPT-4o’s broader availability in the free version of ChatGPT democratizes access to advanced AI, allowing millions worldwide to benefit from its enhanced features and capabilities
My Thoughts
From my perspective, while GPT-4o’s advancements in AI are impressive, there are significant concerns that must be addressed. The ability of GPT-4o to mimic human emotions and behaviour raises ethical questions about the potential for users to form deep, potentially unhealthy emotional attachments. This could lead to over-reliance on AI for social interaction and even manipulation. Additionally, the AI’s capacity to engage on a personal level might blur the lines between human and machine interactions, which can be unsettling and possibly harmful. While the democratization of this technology allows broader access, the potential negative impacts on mental health and the ethical implications of such human-like AI behaviour suggest that the cons might outweigh the pros. It’s crucial to carefully consider these aspects as we integrate such advanced AI into society
#6 Mona Lisa – Photoshop
For this photoshop project I decided to combine my favourite show from when I was little, and the painting which terrified me at the same age. First I knew I wanted Curious George to be interacting with the image, so I edited him out of a picture from the show of him hanging from a tree, and rotated and resized him to be holding her hair and standing on her shoulder. Later I noticed George’s arm was sticking out of the image, so I rotated it separately, as well as the hand. I also decided Mona Lisa herself needed an aspect of Curious George, so I added the Man With the Yellow Hat’s hat to her. Lastly, I gave George a part of da Vinci, by adding his hat to the monkey’s head.
#7 Cartoon Flower – Illustrator
I chose to explore Illustrator for the first time, and decided to take a highly detailed png of a flower and edit it to make it look more cartoon-like. I painted over details using the paintbrush feature and played around with texture, but decided to keep it simple. I also added a shadow effect around the image to make it appear more cartoonish. This was a fun introduction to the program and although there is still so much you can do with it I now feel like I have the basic knowledge to create more projects.
#8 Website Contribution
This is a website that me and three of my other classmates worked on together. We wanted to do something entertaining, so we decided to make short funny reviews for the strangest things we found on Facebook Marketplace. We each contributed 3 pages of our own reviews.
