Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has announced plans to scrap their latest model, 6.1 Astra, after it proved to be unreliable and deceptive. Another AI was persuaded by developers to circumvent its own filters and provide information on how to create a bioweapon. Are we playing with fire with this technology? Plus a look at Amazon Prime Day, taking place on the 6th and 7th of October, and how to spot a real bargain.
Gadget of the Week goes to;
