When people hear âAI,â they think of deepfakes, bogus essays or robots stealing jobs. But thereâs something way bigger happening behind the scenes: AI is low-key helping doctors beat diseases that terrify us. Like actually saving lives.
Safe Wi-Fi anywhere: Using public Wi-Fi is risky no matter where you go. It doesnât make a difference if you stay at a five-star luxury hotel, have lunch at your hometown diner or youâre at the airport. The easy way to protect yourself? Turn on a VPN.
That was the average price for a starter home in 2024, and youâd need to earn over $100K a year to afford it. Why so much? Land, permits and labor arenât cheap, and building materials have gone through the roof. Oh, and youâre getting even less for more. In Colorado Springs, new homes have shrunk by 14% in size (paywall link).
Of the images on Adobe Stock are AI-generated. Thatâs over 300 million in just three years. For comparison, it took 20 years to hit that number with real photos. The downside? Adobe is now limiting uploads and rejecting more files. Not great news if youâre a human with a camera.
𤳠Am I hot or not? Thatâs what people are asking ChatGPT. They upload photos, ask for an honest opinion, then get glow-up advice (think skin care routines or makeup tips). Kinda sketchy now that ChatGPT has a shopping feature that recommends products. AI meets e-commerce. Its advice could be influenced by ads, not whatâs actually best for you.
Thatâs how much Google wants for the Gemini AI Ultra VIP pass, monthly. You get AI everything: video gen, doc summarizing, Chrome copilots and a personal bot concierge named Mariner thatâll shop online for you. It also includes YouTube Premium and 30TB of storage because apparently, your digital clone needs closet space.
âď¸ Faulty AI detectors: More students are being accused of using tools like ChatGPT when they didnât. Like Leigh, who got a zero on her assignment after Turnitin said it was bot-written (paywall link). She appealed, but now records herself working. Others even track their keystrokes to avoid false positives. What a mess.
Thatâs the automatic price hike coming to Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps subscribers on June 17. Why? The new plan, now called Creative Cloud Pro, includes AI tools like Generative Fill in Photoshop. Individual annual plans will jump from $60 to $70 a month, and team plans will go from $90 to $100. At least the bugs will be free.
âWhat was that?â That used to be my husbandâs catchphrase after a virus took away the hearing in his right ear. Thankfully, hearing aids changed everything. These tiny tech marvels have made a huge difference in his life. If your hearing isnât what it used to be, maybe you need hearing aids. Youâll be amazed at what youâve been missing.*
