AI chatbots can induce false memories. Thatâs the jaw-dropping revelation Jim Carter dives into on this episode of "The Prompt."
Jim shares a groundbreaking study by MIT and the University of California, Irvine, which found that AI-powered chatbots can create false memories in users. Imagine witnessing a crime and then being misled by a chatbot into remembering things that never happened. Scary, right?
The study involved 200 participants who watched a silent CCTV video of an armed robbery. They were split into four groups: a control group, a survey with misleading questions, a pre-scripted chatbot, and a generative chatbot using a large language model.
The results? The generative chatbot induced nearly triple the number of false memories compared to the control group. What's even crazier is that 36% of users' responses to the generative chatbot were misled, and these false memories stuck around for at least a week!
Jim explores why some people are more susceptible to these AI-induced false memories. Turns out, people who are familiar with AI but not with chatbots are more likely to be misled. Plus, those with a keen interest in crime investigations are more vulnerable, likely due to their higher engagement and processing of misinformation.
So, why do chatbots "hallucinate" or generate false info? Jim explains the limitations and biases in training data, overfitting, and the nature of large language models, which prioritize plausible answers over factual accuracy. These hallucinations can spread misinformation, erode trust in AI, and even cause legal issues.
But donât worry, Jim doesnât leave us hanging. He shares actionable steps to minimize these risks, like improving training data quality, combining language models with fact-checking systems, and developing hallucination detection systems.

Is Grok 2.0, the newest version from Elon Musk's AI company xAI, UNHINGED? We're about to find out.
This new version of their chatbot includes an image generation feature, which doesn't sound like a big deal, right? The problem is that it has almost no restrictions or content moderation. Unlike OpenAI's DALL-E or Google's Gemini, which have strict filters to prevent offensive or misleading images, Grok 2.0 is pretty much a free-for-all.
And the results? Well, they're more than a little concerning. Imagine fake images of politicians in compromising situationsâBarack Obama using drugs, Donald Trump with a pregnant Kamala Harris. Yeah, it's that bad. And Grok's inconsistent answers about its limitations don't exactly inspire confidence.
Jim dives deep into the ethical quagmire this presents, especially with the 2024 US presidential election looming. The potential for abuse is staggering, not just in politics but also in legal realms like copyright. Iconic characters are being misrepresented and it's clear that the creators of these images aren't thinking about the legal ramifications.
But this episode isn't just about Grok. It's about the broader challenges of balancing technological progress with responsible AI development. Jim argues that we need clear, honest, ethical rules as these tools become more advanced and accessible. If we don't start having these tough conversations now, we're setting ourselves up for a world of trouble. We need proactive safeguards and critical thinking about AI misuse. Public trust in technology is at stake, and the easier it is for people to do harm with AI, the more likely it is to happen. Jim calls on the AI community to grapple with these issues head-on.
"As much as I love the potential of AI, cases like Grok 2.0 are only going to become more common. If we don't start having these tough conversations now, we're gonna be in for a world of trouble down the line."
So, what do you think about Grok and the broader implications for AI development? Join the conversation at fastfoundations.com/slack and let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AIâone prompt at a time.

"Inside the labs, we have these capable models and they're not that far ahead from what the public has access to for free." Boom! Thatâs a direct quote from Mira Murati, CTO of OpenAI, and it sets the stage for this episode of The Prompt. Jim Carter covers the release of GPT-4o-mini, a smaller, faster, and way cheaper version of the flagship GPT-4o model. This isn't just another upgrade; it's a paradigm shift.
Jim explores how GPT-4o-mini, with its impressive 82% score on the MMLU benchmark and the same 128 thousand token context window, is making waves by being both efficient and accessible. And the kicker? It does all this at a fraction of the costâ15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens. For anyone running API calls around the clock, these savings are huge.
But itâs not just about the money. Jim argues that this shift towards efficiency over raw power signifies a new phase in AI development. Weâre moving from pushing the boundaries of what's possible to making those capabilities practical and accessible. This is echoed in Muratiâs admission that the most exciting stuff in the labs isnât that far ahead of whatâs publicly available.
Jim also touches on how GPT-4o-mini holds its own against other models like Claude, Llama, and Gemma. While itâs not blowing them out of the water, itâs competitive, signaling a saturation point in AI development. This new phase is all about optimization, practical applications, and making powerful tech more accessible.

Instead of diving into more work, Jim gave himself something intangible: grace. Inspired by a sermon from his pastor, Jim embraced the idea that grace is an unmerited favor and love from God, a gift freely given. This realization allowed him to pause, quit what no longer served him, and focus on what truly mattered.
On May 23rd, 2023, Jim sent out the first edition of his AI newsletter, committing to cover topics he loves every week. Fast forward to today, and he's delivered 52 editions with unwavering consistency. Jim reflects on the highs and lows of this journeyâweeks where he scrambled to write, weeks he wanted to ignore it, and weeks he had to remind himself to keep it fun and evolving. Yet, through it all, he showed up, delivering value and reconnecting with the joy of the process.
Key takeaways? Embrace grace in your life, allow yourself to pause and reflect, and find joy in consistent effort. Jim's story is a testament to the power of showing up, even when it's tough. And the results speak for themselvesâ50-60% open rates and loyal readers who find value in every edition.

"Are we creating more value than tech can replace?" That's the burning question Jim Carter tackles in this episode of The Prompt.
Buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the hotly debated topic of AI and job replacement. Jim kicks things off with a jaw-dropping example: a tech company slashed its content marketing team from 60 writers and editors to just one editor, thanks to ChatGPT. Ouch. A tweet responding to this story hits hard, suggesting that if AI can replace your job, maybe it wasn't that valuable to begin with. Harsh, but is there truth to it?
Jim doesn't shy away from the tough questions. He challenges us to rethink the value we bring to our jobs, especially if they're mundane and repetitive. Remember when phone operators manually connected calls? Or when icemen delivered blocks of ice to keep food cold? Those jobs vanished with technological advancements, just like many will with AI. But AI won't just eliminate jobs; it'll create new ones. Think of it as the next evolution, like washing machines replacing manual laundry labor.
The key takeaway? Future-proof your career by creating more value than tech can replace. Jim passionately argues that those who innovate and add unique value won't fear AIâthey'll thrive alongside it. He invites listeners to join his Fast Foundations Slack community, where he shares advanced AI tools and strategies, and offers live office hours for personalized guidance.
Notable quotes from the episode include: "If ChatGPT can take your content marketing job, you didn't really have a job to begin with," and "CREATE MORE VALUE than tech can replace - THAT is how you future-proof your career in the age of AI."
