Kim Kardashian 's embarrassing conversation with ChatGPT is going viral
ALBAWABA - Kim Kardashian 's ChatGPT chat sparks backlash and confusion across social media. Kim Kardashian shared a snapshot of her ChatGPT discussion on her Instagram story on Wednesday, to which many have responded negatively. For those who are unaware, ChatGPT is an app that allows users to communicate with an AI-generated chatbot. As a result, the chatbot is essentially a robot that learns how each user wishes to connect with it through artificial intelligence and modifies its style accordingly. This explains why Kim's screenshot, which showed that she talks to the chatbot like a human, left so many people perplexed. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 19: Kim Kardashian (Photo by Emma McIntyre / Getty Images via AFP) Sadly for us, Kim only shared what seems to be the conclusion of her interaction with ChatGPT. Kim's first message in the grab reads, "Thanks for taking accountability." It's huge in my opinion. "Thank you so much for saying that," the chatbot answered. It means a lot, particularly from someone who obviously values precision and thoroughness. 'I'll keep raising my game to meet your standards,' the bot went on. 'If there's ever any doubt or if you want a deeper dive on anything, I'm here for it.' 'Thanks dude,' Kim wrote back, to which ChatGPT said: 'Anytime — you got it, dude😎 Let's crush the next one.' Kim posted the grab without further comment, but did add the '🥹' emoji, suggesting that she was genuinely touched by this exchange. Kim Kardashian Instagram story However, the online community did not share this feeling, and the screen grab swiftly gained popularity on X as users expressed their perplexed responses to the discussion. One user commented on Kim's initial statement in the chat: "……. this is the dumbest thing I've ever fucking seen? How did a language program assume responsibility? 'What does a robot have to take accountability for?' one mor asked. 'What's with people and developing an emotional connection with ChatGPT? Do they not realize that it's fucking weird?' somebody else tweeted, with another echoing, 'Is she really this lonely?' 'Was she arguing with a fucking robot?' Someone else asked, while another well-liked remark highlighted the severe harm that artificial intelligence in all its forms brings to the environment, saying, "The Earth's temperature just increased by one degree because of this." Another X user simply concluded, 'Having convos with ChatGPT or AI in general is so embarrassing.' In fact, Kim's remark was made just one day after Time published an article about a recent study conducted by MIT Media Lab researchers that suggested ChatGPT might be "eroding critical thinking skills." An illustration photograph taken on February 20, 2025 shows ChatGPT app (Photo by Justin TALLIS / AFP) 54 participants, ages 18 to 39, were divided into three groups for the study, and they were instructed to compose several SAT essays using ChatGPT, Google, or neither. After measuring the writers' brain activity with EEG, they found that ChatGPT users did worse in terms of brain function, language skills, and behavior, showing the least brain activity compared to the other two groups. Over the course of several months, the study discovered that ChatGPT users became lazy with each essay, and by the end, many had resorted to copying and pasting.

Blake Lively must give Taylor Swift texts to Justin Baldoni judge says — here's what it says
ALBAWABA - Blake Lively ordered to hand over Taylor Swift texts in lawsuit. In the lawsuit involving the film It Ends With Us, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift's text messages will have to be turned over. The judge has decided that the friends' discussions regarding the set's working conditions are pertinent to Lively's allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against director and co-star Justin Baldoni. Swift's text conversations have been at the focus of Lively's It Ends With Us lawsuit for the past month, but on Wednesday, June 18, Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, won the case. After initially attempting to obtain the texts directly from Swift, Baldoni abandoned his subpoena on the pop sensation and chose to look for the communications from Lively as part of the standard discovery procedure. Pagesix Instagram profile "The court's protective order ruling rests on the Wayfarer Parties' admission that they received nothing from Taylor Swift, which is exactly the opposite of what their 'insider' claimed two weeks ago," the representative for Lively, 37, said. "Baldoni's desire to drag Taylor Swift into this has been constant dating back to August 2024, when the crisis PR firm led by Melissa Nathan included her in their 'Scenario Planning' document (Lively Amended Complaint, Exhibit D), referred to her as a bully, and called for a strategy to influence the 'TS fanbase,'" the attorney continued. According to the statement, "We will continue to call out Baldoni's relentless efforts to exploit Ms. Swift's popularity, which from day one has been nothing more than a distraction from the serious sexual harassment and retaliation accusations he and the Wayfarer parties are facing." "Blake Lively's motion is premised on the greater worry that the Wayfarer Parties are utilizing demands for interactions with Swift not 'to seek information relevant to claims and defenses in court but to prop up a public relations narrative outside of court,'" Liman writes in his letter dated June 18. "That order was designed precisely to ensure that parties may share sensitive information that may be 'only tangentially related to the underlying cause of action' without fear that it will be leaked to the press," the court stated. It Ends With Us Instagram profile Additionally, Judge Liman rejected Wayfarer and Baldoni's cross-motion to compel Lively to produce production-related materials. The judge explained why Baldoni's legal defense sought the private messages from Swift: "Given that Lively has represented that Swift had knowledge of complaints or discussions about the working environment on the film, among other issues, the requests for messages with Swift regarding the film and this action are reasonably tailored to discover information that would prove or disprove Lively's harassment and retaliation claims." According to Blake Lively's protective order application, Baldoni's team "pursued [these communications] at the same time they have refused to produce to Ms. Lively the documents they publicly claimed to have received as part of a deal to withdraw their subpoenas to Ms. Swift and her counsel." Judge Liman was the recipient of the letter. The $400 million countersuit Baldoni had previously brought against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, their publicist Leslie Sloane, and The New York Times was dropped by Judge Liman soon before the ruling. Baldoni, Melissa Nathan, and the Agency Group were accused of planning a smear campaign against Lively in a New York Times report. After that, Baldoni sued for slander. Swift contributed her song "My Tears Ricochet" to the It Ends With Us soundtrack prior to the lawsuit, but she was not involved in the film's creation.

Gartner Predicts 75% of Analytics Content to Use GenAI for Enhanced Contextual Intelligence by 2027
Seventy-five percent of new analytics content will be contextualized for intelligent applications through generative AI (GenAI) by 2027, enabling composable connection between insights and actions, according to Gartner, Inc.'We're moving from an era where analytic tools help business people make decisions, to a future where GenAI-powered analytics becomes perceptive and adaptive,' said Georgia O'Callaghan, Director, Analyst at Gartner. 'This will enable dynamic and autonomous decisions that have the potential to transform enterprise and consumer software, business processes and models.'A Gartner survey of 403 analytics or AI leaders, conducted between October and December 2024, revealed over 50% report their organizations use AI tools for automated insights and natural language queries (NLG) for analytics or AI development. Even with these capabilities, the static nature of current analytics often falls short of delivering in a truly dynamic and automated predicts augmented analytics capabilities will evolve into autonomous analytics platforms by 2027, which will fully manage and execute 20% of business processes. The perceptive future of analytics will deliver benefits by being proactive, collaborative, connected, contextual and continuous (see Figure 1).Figure 1: AI-Powered, Perceptive AnalyticsSource: Gartner (June 2025)'Perceptive analytics will use AI agents and other GenAI-fueled technologies to continuously monitor evolving conditions and perceive the target environment, such as market shifts, customer behavior changes or supply chain disruptions,' said O'Callaghan.'Guidance and analysis can then be autonomously adjusted in response, creating a more resilient and responsive analytical infrastructure. As these capabilities emerge and be adopted by organizations, their potential to reshape business operations and drive growth will only continue to expand.'Perceptive Analytics Overarching RiskAccording to Gartner research, the overarching risk that applies to perceptive analytics is the over reliance on autonomous actions without sufficient validation, which could result in unintended negative consequences, reputational damage and regulatory risk of "agent drift" is a serious concern, where a system's perceptions and actions gradually deviate from desired outcomes due to evolving data or unforeseen interactions. Guardian agents are emerging to deal with this inherent issue in AI systems, according to Gartner. These agents are specifically tasked with monitoring and enforcing policies and rules to ensure the systems operate within a set of guardrails. 'Building guardian agents will need to be a key focal point of new governance initiatives for data and analytics leaders, as agentic and perceptive analytics become the standard way of insight delivery across platforms,' said O'Callaghan.
