🗞️ The Latest in AI: Student hilariously fails at attempt to cheat with ChatGPT

Schools and universities have been scrambling to find ways to catch cheaters since the release of ChatGPT, but a 7th grader named Arjun made it easy for his English teacher to spot his attempt at using AI to do homework.

Walnut CEO Roshan Patel posted about the incident on Twitter, along with a picture of the assignment.

The line highlighted in yellow reads, “As an AI language model, I don’t have personal expectations or opinions.”

It appears that Arjun copied what the chatbot said verbatim. Hopefully he proofreads before his next attempt.

📸 Industry Spotlight: Heywire AI aims to save local news

Heywire AI, a business-to-business SAAS (software-as-a-service) company based in Los Angeles, recently announced the launch of WELLS. WELLS is the world’s first self-prompting and fully autonomous AI content creation engine, and is setting the stage for AI newsrooms that will push the boundaries of journalism.

WELLS will be capable of researching, verifying, and writing news articles across different platforms. Operating on a scale never seen before, the AI newsroom will surpass any existing automated news systems.

In 2020, NPR reported that more than 2,000 American newspapers have gone out of business. Heywire AI hopes that WELLS will boost the struggling industry. The company’s team is leveraging 28 years of news experience and an innovative AI model to make the local news business sustainable again.

Heywire’s target customers are small and medium-sized publishers, although its founder Von Raees believes that his publishing group, HeySoCal, will prove that WELLS is worthy of use at a larger scale. WELLS is designed to lower the cost of mundane, daily copy without sacrificing promptness, quality, or integrity.

The platform is expected to launch in 2024.
