Artificial intelligence produces believable stories

According to Euronews, the images were produced by Midjourney artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based artificial intelligence lab Midjourney Inc. shared a new version of its image-producing AI on March 16.

Midjourney operates through the internet chat service Discord, where by entering a command, the artificial intelligence bot produces the described image for the user. For example, Dall-E, maintained by Open AI, the developer of ChatGPT, works in the same way.

There are also pictures produced by artificial intelligence of the former president of the United States Donald Trump’s from arrest.

At a quick glance, the images seem believable, and the internet user may not understand that the images are the products of artificial intelligence. Many experts and authorities are concerned about the phenomenon.

The European legal authority Europol previously warned that artificial intelligence could be used for criminal purposes and to generate false information. Several experts have also argued that the development of artificial intelligence should be put on hold in order to develop common rules of the game for the industry.
