Fresco, the creative software giant’s painting and drawing app, will now allow users to embed Content Credentials into their work that specifically identify it as “created without generative AI.” Content Credentials can already track if images have been manipulated using AI tools but clearly marking them as AI free is a new one, especially for a company that’s so heartily embraced the technology across its other apps.
404 Media reports US police departments are utilizing Overwatch — an AI tool that “deploys lifelike virtual agents” to “infiltrate and engage criminal networks” — to collect incriminating evidence against anyone from suspected drug and human traffickers, to “radicalized” political activists and “college protesters.”
One example of a “radicalized” AI persona that developer Massive Blue says it has created is one pretending to be a 36-year-old child-free divorced woman, described as outspoken, lonely, and body positive. Her hobbies include baking and, vaguely, “activism.”
The new chatbot feature is similar to memory capabilities that have long been available on ChatGPT and Gemini, allowing users to set aside some older conversations that can be referenced in future inquiries.
xAI says Grok’s memory feature is available on the Grok website and iOS/Android app in beta (excluding EU/UK), and will be added to X’s built-in version of Grok “soon.”
