How the spookiness of AI continues to creep up on us - The Charger Bulletin

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence

As Halloween approaches, the discussion on campus has shifted to the eerie presence of artificial intelligence (AI). Students and professors are concerned about the increasing capabilities of AI, which have led to strict limits on its use in academic settings.

Most professors have restricted AI use to only sentence structure or grammar purposes, aiming to preserve human creativity and maintain academic integrity. This decision is driven by the fear that computers are becoming too skilled at imitation, potentially threatening the value of human originality.

A Recent Example

A notable instance of AI's "spookiness" occurred when AI-generated videos of Martin Luther King Jr. began circulating online, prompting his estate to intervene. The videos, created using OpenAI's Sora 2 video model, were deemed disrespectful and distorted King's legacy.

King's family condemned the viral clips, leading to OpenAI blocking users from generating videos of him.

This incident highlights the need for responsible AI use and the importance of preserving human creativity and integrity in the face of advancing technology.
