Turing test study shows humans rate artificial intelligence as more ‘moral’ than other people
A new study has found that when people are presented with two answers to an ethical question, most will think the answer from artificial intelligence (AI) is better than the response from another person.
More Prompting Techniques for Stable Diffusion
The image diffusion model, in its simplest form, generates an image from the prompt. The prompt can be a text prompt or an image as long as a suitable encoder is available to convert it into a tensor that the model can use as a condition to guide the generation process. Text prompts are probably …
How to Factory-Reset Your Phone Before You Sell It
Upgrading to a shiny new device? Here’s how to restore your old phone to its factory settings.
Using OpenPose with Stable Diffusion
We have just learned about ControlNet. Now, let’s explore the most effective way to control your character based on human pose. OpenPose is a great tool that can detect body keypoint locations in images and video. By integrating OpenPose with Stable Diffusion, we can guide the AI in generating images that match specific poses. In …
Exciting Changes Ahead: Big Update
We have a very big and exciting update to share with you. Over the past few months, I have been publishing many of my AI insights and experiments on Substack. One of the things that LLMs are exposing is the role that psychology and bias play in creating and interpreting information. Information isn’t passive. It’s some …

Conformal Prediction via Regression-as-Classification
Conformal prediction (CP) for regression can be challenging, especially when the output distribution is heteroscedastic, multimodal, or skewed. Some of the issues can be addressed by estimating a distribution over the output, but in reality, such approaches can be sensitive to estimation error and yield unstable intervals. Here, we circumvent the challenges by converting regression …

What you need to know about the CCPA rules on AI and automated decision-making technology
In November 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) released a set of draft regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making technology (ADMT). The proposed rules are still in development, but organizations may want to pay close attention to their evolution. Because the state is home to many of the world’s …
