Google says it did not train its AI chatbot Bard on your private emails
In one example, the bot said there was insufficient information to answer and refused to try. Large language models are good at generating convincing-looking text that is coherent and grammatically correct. But they are incapable of reasoning and cannot tell fact from fiction – making them unsuitable for specific tasks like providing financial advice.
GPT-4, for example, is much better at answering programming questions from the competitive code site CodeForces if they're from 2021 but is terrible at solving more recent problems. GPT-4 was trained on text scraped from the internet up until September 2021. Writers should be allowed to use generative text software to help produce scripts with humans taking full credit. The plot or dialog for a screenplay could be generated by AI but edited by writers, for example. Or writers could use these tools for inspiration in their own work.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of suicidality in autistic and possibly autistic people without co-occurring intellectual disability - Molecular AutismBackground Suicidality is highly prevalent in autistic people without co-occurring intellectual disabilities, and high autistic traits are found in adults who have attempted suicide. However, prevalence rates for both autistic and possibly autistic people have not been synthesised meta-analytically. Aims To (1) calculate pooled prevalence estimates of suicidality in autistic people and possibly autistic people without co-occurring intellectual disability; (2) evaluate the influence of participant and study level characteristics on heterogeneity; and (3) determine the quality of evidence. Methods Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines were followed. PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE and Web of Science were systematically searched from 1992 to January 25, 2022. Empirical quantitative studies reporting prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicide plans, or suicide attempts and behaviours were considered for inclusion. Random effects models were used to estimate pooled prevalence of each suicidality outcome with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was explored using sensitivity and moderator analyses. Results Data from 48,186 autistic and possibly autistic participants in 36 primary studies were meta-analysed. Pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation was 34.2% (95% CI 27.9–40.5), suicide plans 21.9% (13.4–30.4), and suicidal attempts and behaviours 24.3% (18.9–29.6). High levels of heterogeneity (I2 | 75) were observed in all three analyses. Estimates did not differ between autistic or possibly autistic samples. Geographical location (p = 0.005), transgender or gender non-conforming samples (p | 0.001) and type of report (p | 0.001) significantly moderated suicidal ideation, whereas age group (p = 0.001) and measure of suicidality (p = 0.001) significantly moderated suicide plans. There was a significant association between the proportion of male participants and prevalence of suicide plans, with a decrease in the proportion of males for eve
