Fact Check: Not an Anti-Hero! This isn’t Taylor Swift with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Now, a photo of American pop singer Taylor Swift with her arm around a man is going viral on social media. Allegedly, the photo shows the pop star with the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, two years before the photo surfaced on the internet. Taylor Swift Switzerland and Taylor Swift Style, two websites run by Swift fans, also identified the man in the picture as Lipman. Thus, it’s clear that the person sitting next to Taylor Swift in the viral photograph is not the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Pioneering AI artist says the technology is ultimately 'limiting', left her 'burnt out'
Working with AI to create art is ultimately "very frustrating and very limiting," Swedish-based artist and writer Supercomposite told AFP. For the moment, she has stopped working with AI and is writing a screenplay instead, saying her experience with AI art left her "burned out". More disturbingly, Loab appeared regularly alongside children, "sometimes dismembered", and always in a "macabre" and "bloody" world, she said. But it has been over a year since Swanson has touched Loab, saying the whole affair left her exhausted and burned out. She has stopped creating AI images as she devoted herself to a screenplay.

Predictions of AI-powered models strictly trial-specific, have no generalisability: Study
AI-powered prediction models made accurate predictions within the trial they were developed in, but gave "random predictions" outside of it, according to a new research. Researchers said the study showed that generalisations of predictions of artificial intelligence-based models across different study centres cannot be ensured at the moment and that these models were "highly context-dependent". The current study pertained to the field of precision psychiatry, which makes use of data-related models for targeted therapies and suitable medications for individuals. "We have strict quality requirements for clinical models and we also have to ensure that models in different contexts provide good predictions. That these AI models have highly limited generalisability was an important signal for clinical practice and shows that further research is needed to actually improve psychiatric care, the researchers said.
