A vast ocean of knowledge, cat videos, and, unfortunately, a fair share of nonsense. So, how do we separate the wheat from the digital chaff? Let's dive in:   https://mvsltd.com/news/6-tips-to-spot-misinformation-on-the-web/   And at number #4 this week …   Experimenting with Be My Eyes and Videos By The Idea Place   I suspect anyone who has tried some of the newer, AI-based, image descriptions, such as those from Be My Eyes, has noticed the high quality descriptions that are available.   I've been curious about how I could apply that to videos so did a little experimenting.   I want to emphasize that I do not consider this a replacement for audio description.   There is so much more to that experience than just giving details on what's in an image:   https://theideaplace.net/experimenting-with-be-my-eyes-and-videos/   And at #3 this week...   No, You Don't Need to Turn Off Apple's NameDrop Feature in iOS 17 Via Wired   Yes, your iPhone automatically turns on NameDrop with the latest software update. But you shouldn't really be worried about it — regardless of what the police are saying:   https://www.wired.com/story/apple-iphone-namedrop-ios17/   And at number #2 this week …   Amazon Launches Q, A Business Chatbot Powered By Generative Artificial Intelligence   The tech giant will launch Q — a business chatbot powered by generative artificial intelligence. The announcement, made in Las Vegas at an annual conference the company hosts for its AWS cloud computing service, represents Amazon's response to rivals who've rolled out chatbots that have captured the public's attention:   https://apnews.com/article/amazon-chatbot-q-chatgpt-09964d52076b1db7df8cca695423661f   And at number #1 this week …   AI Is Going Great For The Blind By Robert Kingett   Robert writes: As I was looking at the amount of times platforms died on the web and I began thinking about the slow death of AI enthusiasm and what that will do to the Blind community. It really is a bizarre feeling when you're the only detractor of a thing within your own community. My first post about AI has gained some attention, as well as the follow up post about this topic. AI is taking the blind community by storm:   https://robertkingett.com/aigreat/   And that's the scoop for this week.   Remember that links to each of the articles announced today can be found within the transcript below, or atop the newsletter that went out this morning.
