马斯克前脚呼吁停止 AI 开发，后脚注册公司 X.AI

Sundar Pichai, Google’s boss, warned that the world was not ready for the rapid changes that new AI will bring, saying it would “impact every product across every company” (though that isn’t stopping Google from racing ahead to integrate generative AI into its advertising, according to a report).
皮查伊先生表示，虚假图像的问题将变得更加严重。最近的一个例子是，在社交媒体上疯传一张身穿白色蓬松夹克的教皇方济各的照片，后来才揭示出它是由人工智能生成的。
