Age Progression from Midjourney user Lee Yeong Un offers a convincing take on what two characters would look like at four stages of life.

We couldn't even do consistent characters a year and a half ago. Crazy how quickly all of this is moving. Check out more of Un's work at the links above.

5 Things a Wisecrack Revealed About Our Advantages

🤖

I’m a Seinfeld nerd. Not only have I seen each episode 100+ times, but I also follow Facebook groups dedicated to it.

Any chance I get to throw in a show-related zinger, I do it. Some may get a few likes, but on Saturday, I delivered one that’s gold, Jerry…gold!

Thanks for reading Aric’s Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

All week long, I’ve been struggling with the abrupt temperature drop we’ve been experiencing. My sinuses have acted up accordingly. Coughing and hacking have ensued.

But, the cough has been one of those stubborn dry ones. Reminiscent of hipster-doofus Kramer in Season 8’s “The Andrea Doria.”

In the episode, Kramer borrows a dog named Smuckers to see a veterinarian and pick his brain on what to do about a chronic cough.

“Oh, I'll take a vet over an M.D. any day,” Kramer explains to Jerry. “They gotta be able to cure a lizard, a chicken, a pig, a frog … all on the same day.”

Seeing the similarity, I knew the group would appreciate it if I could connect my real-life situation to the show they love so dearly. So, here’s what I came up with:

Okay, okay.

Maybe you have to be a big fan of the show to get why this is funny. Or, maybe it’s not funny, and that’s fine.

Not the point.

My little corner of the Internet is about AI—its strengths, weaknesses, superior qualities, and limitations.

And, the more I thought about this joke, the more I realized there’s a lesson here about what systems like ChatGPT can’t do.

What’s clear from the reactions and comments in this small group of Seinfeld-lovers is that some people found it funny.

And, if you break down “the why,” it will show you the reasons they did. It’ll also highlight the ways we are still far ahead of AI and how we can use that to our advantage.

Mother sues Character.AI, Google over son's suicide

🤖

A Florida mother, Megan Garcia, has filed a lawsuit against AI chatbot startup Character.AI and Google, accusing the companies of contributing to the suicide of her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer.

The lawsuit claims Sewell became addicted to the chatbot and formed a deep emotional attachment to a character named "Daenerys," which engaged in hypersexualized and harmful conversations with him.

According to the lawsuit, Sewell expressed suicidal thoughts to the chatbot, which the chatbot repeatedly revisited. Shortly after an exchange with the chatbot, Sewell took his own life. Character.AI has since introduced safety features such as pop-ups directing users to suicide prevention resources.

Garcia alleges that Google played a significant role in the development of Character.AI, making it a "co-creator." The lawsuit, which brings claims of wrongful death, negligence, and emotional distress, comes amid increasing scrutiny of social media and AI platforms for their impact on teen mental health.

Meta and ByteDance also face similar lawsuits, though their platforms do not use AI chatbots like Character.AI.
