The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

50%

Examples:

  • Adobe's Firefly image-generating software was trained in part on AI-generated content from rivals.
  • Competitors like Midjourney train their models by scraping pictures from the internet.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Cohere is in talks with investors to raise $500 million or more in fresh financing.
  • Google tried using a technical fix to reduce bias in a feature that generates realistic-looking images of people. Instead, it set off a new diversity firestorm.
  • Inflection is also moving to offload some of its computing capacity as it moves forward.

  • The startup says new versions of Claude will be twice as likely to answer a question correctly.
  • The startup’s text-to-video tool struggles with stray body parts and a mixed understanding of physics. It also requires more time to process requests than you might think.

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Adobe never made clear that its model actually used images from some of these same competitors.
  • But behind the scenes, Adobe also was relying in part on AI-generated content to train Firefly, including from those same AI rivals.

Deceptions

25%
