Hear Judy Garland read "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" even though she never recorded it. AI company ElevenLabs is using AI to create celebrity voiceovers, including deceased actors like Garland. This raises questions about copyright and authenticity, but also opens doors for wider audiobook availability.

2 -🔥 Google's AI Ambitions Come at an Environmental Cost

Google's push for AI has resulted in a surge in greenhouse gas emissions due to the massive energy demands of running AI systems. The company acknowledges the challenge of reconciling its ambitious sustainability goals with the environmental cost of AI and is looking into renewable energy sources and using AI for climate solutions.

3 - ⛔️ Security Lapse: OpenAI's ChatGPT Mac App Exposed Conversations

A security flaw in the ChatGPT macOS app allowed anyone with access to your computer to read your conversations with the AI. This was because the chats were stored in plain text. OpenAI has addressed the issue with an update that encrypts conversations.

4 -🧮 Perplexity's Pro Search Upgrade Makes AI a Math and Research Whiz

Perplexity's Pro Search AI got a major upgrade! It can now tackle complex queries by planning its research and combining results for a more in-depth answer. For instance, if you ask about the best time to see the Northern Lights, it will research viewing times and locations in both Iceland and Finland before giving a comprehensive answer. While Perplexity boasts advanced features, it has faced accusations of plagiarism.

5 -🛻 AI Drive-Thrus Gain Popularity, But Challenges Remain

Restaurants are looking to AI to cut labor costs, especially for drive-thru orders. While some chains are already testing voice-ordering technology, it's still not perfect and there are concerns about accuracy and customer experience. However, analysts believe wider adoption could happen in the next 1-2 years, potentially driven by big restaurant chains.
