Summary
ChatGPT, a chatbot AI, is creating a lot of buzz in colleges as students turn to it for help with coursework
MIT Technology Review has created an AI Hype Index to separate AI reality from fiction in the media
It suggests that while some AI tools like language models are riddled with errors and biases, AI can also be used to solve real-world problems, improve battery life, and help people unable to communicate verbally communicate through brain implants linked to AI technology
It also notes that artists and musicians are finding new ways to use AI creatively, not just for one-click art generation but injecting challenge, friction, and serendipity into the process
