Arc browser’s new AI-powered features combine OpenAI and Anthropic’s models [Link]

The Browser Company has launched new AI-powered features for the Arc browser under the name "Arc Max." These features are built using a combination of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and Anthropic’s models.

Arc Max offers unique functionalities such as renaming pinned tabs based on page titles, renaming downloaded files based on content, and providing summary previews of links. Users can access and customize these features through the command bar by typing “Arc Max” or converse with ChatGPT by typing “ChatGPT.”

The company emphasized the importance of integrating AI tools seamlessly into users' workflows. The Browser Company tested various prototype features to enhance the user experience. One such feature unveiled earlier was "Boosts," which allowed customizations on web pages. However, not all tested features made it to the final version due to performance concerns. CEO Josh Miller stated in a livestream that they would retain the current features for a minimum of 90 days while gathering user feedback to determine future iterations.

Deepfake MrBeast Ad Deceives TikTok [Link]

Story illustration

The Deception: A sophisticated AI deepfake of the YouTube sensation MrBeast duped TikTok's ad filtering mechanisms. This ad misleadingly presented MrBeast offering 10,000 users an iPhone 15 Pro for just $2. Given MrBeast's reputation for jaw-dropping giveaways, many could have taken the bait.

Who is MrBeast?

  • Real Name: Jimmy Donaldson.

  • Fame: Notorious for wild stunts and whopping giveaways.

  • Signature Acts: Gifting homes, cars, or pitting individuals from across the globe in challenges for hefty cash prizes.

How Did This Happen?

  • TikTok's System: Combines human and AI-based checks for ad approvals.

  • Outcome: The AI designed to detect fakes was outplayed by the deepfake's AI.

TikTok's Stance:

  • Removed the misleading ad promptly due to policy violations.

  • Doesn't outright ban manipulated media but demands clear disclosure from advertisers.

Not Alone in the Struggle:

  • Platforms like Meta also harness AI for ad moderation but back it up with human touchpoints.

Rising Concerns:

  • Deepfakes Gaining Popularity: With AI being the talk of the town, deepfake tools are becoming readily available.

  • Targets Beyond the Youth: Other celebs like Tom Hanks and Gayle King have been victims of fraudulent deepfake ads.

  • Regulation Challenges: The FTC warns about deepfake advertising, but effectively policing it remains a hurdle.
