Synthetic Intelligence (AI) is all the craze in 2023. That is solely because of the launch of the ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) chatbot from OpenAI in November 2022. Most individuals appear to already be impressed with this know-how in its first iteration.
On the time of launch, ChatGPT was based mostly on OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 language mannequin and solely included data and information by 2021. This was since supplemented with the newest GPT-4 language mannequin that was launched on March 14, 2023.
Furthermore, after Microsoft Bing added ChatGPT into its new search engine (solely accessible on the Edge browser), the chatbot’s information consists of the newest data from 2023. When used inside Bing, the chatbot additionally cites sources and references that it finds from the Bing search engine.
Because the AI chatbot plus search engine battle accelerates, Alphabet (through Google) launched its personal new Bard chatbot and Baidu (China) launched Ernie. Google is being extra cautious with Bard compared to Microsoft with ChatGPT. It will be ironic if the worldwide risks of AI (and private information assortment) are finally within the palms of the Bing, Google and Baidu engines like google.
Positive could be ironic if civilization ended due to a combat over browser/search market share

Every thing is shifting at breakneck velocity, though I’m not one to belief AI content material with out detailed verification on my half. On a associated word, try my 2021 submit on Alphabet-owned DeepMind’s Alphafold protein database.
Bing Picture Creator Simply Launched
I used to be initially planning to put in writing a submit on ChatGPT and the way it responds to questions associated to hair loss. Nonetheless, then one thing much more attention-grabbing occurred:
On March 21, 2023 Bing launched the groundbreaking Bing Picture Creator. It’s powered by DALL-E, additionally from OpenAI.
The previous adage is now up to date:
“A (faux AI-created) image is price a thousand phrases.”
As Deepfake voice and video synthetic intelligence know-how continues bettering, maybe somebody will replace the adage to:
“A (faux AI-created) video is price a thousand footage.”
Faux AI Hair Transplant Earlier than and After Photographs
Over time, I’ve seen quite a few examples of hair transplant clinics utilizing earlier than and after affected person photographs from different clinics as their very own. It’s an epidemic in line with some surgeons. Even photographs, logos, photos and extra from my very own website have been plagiarized and scraped many occasions.
However now we’ve Bing Picture Creator that’s free to make use of. Furthermore, different AI picture creation software program merchandise (not free like Bing) already turned well-liked in 2022. The standard of those photos remains to be subpar on many events. e.g., the under are two of the 4 photos I received generated for “hair transplant earlier than and after“.
It looks like the AI prefers hair transplant outcomes on the rear of the pinnacle for some purpose! And it typically places the after end result first, adopted by the earlier than end result.
Nonetheless, I’ve little question in anyway that it is just a short while earlier than these faux AI generated photos change into undetectable from the actual factor. All of those applied sciences are consistently studying and self-improving from person suggestions.
Furthermore, in the event you fluctuate the question in Bing Picture Creator, the photographs can change into a minimum of considerably plausible. On the very prime of this submit is one with the question “hair transplant within the entrance.”
Beneath are two outcomes for the question “FUE hair transplant.”
To me, each of the above photos seem to be they’re of actual human scalps. Fairly wonderful if you’re somebody who’s older than 30 years previous for my part. Google was solely based in 1998, and the web solely began to turned well-liked within the mid-Nineteen Nineties. Smartphones and sooner velocity web entry are but newer.
Inevitably, we’ll see quite a few hair transplant surgeons and hair loss product builders use such “faux” photographs. It would change into unattainable to discern fact from fiction. I’d not be shocked if even some scientific trial earlier than and after photographs develop into doctored ones sooner or later.
Purchaser beware (Caveat Emptor) is more true then ever earlier than.
