Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) is going through advertising revenue troubles after many of its major advertisers such as Apple, IBM, Comcast, and others have pulled ads from the platform. But despite the hiccup, the platform continues to bring new features for the users. In a new announcement that came directly from Musk, the platform is introducing another way for its Premium subscribers to get a larger reach on the platform, this time with some strategic control over it. Musk has revealed that adding posts to the Highlights tab, which was introduced in August, will enable users to reach more users.
Rage against the machine: Scarlett Johansson, Keanu Reeves to Anil Kapoor, 10 celebs battling AI invasion

In recent months, the development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has been rapid. Since ChatGPT's arrival in November 2022, we've seen big tech companies launch their AI chatbots, and the emergence of AI-powered applications such as image editors, voice modulators, and more. It has even been integrated into the world's most popular apps such as Microsoft Office, and Adobe Photoshop. However, not all is perfect. While this technology is indeed making life easier, debates have already taken place regarding its regulation, as well as the privacy and security issues that come along with it. It has also given rise to fears over whether it could take over jobs, following which the SAG-AFTRA went on strike.
Meanwhile, several eminent celebrities and authors have also spoken about the ills of AI, its impact on their lives and work, and how it could shape the future. From Tom Hanks, and Anil Kapoor to Elon Musk, check out the celebrities and authors who have spoken and even taken action against AI.
In October, Tom Hanks took to Instagram to clarify that a dental ad doing the rounds was created using his AI likeness and did not actually feature him. The veteran actor who has starred in outstanding films like Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and The Man Called Otto, wrote on Instagram, “Beware — there's a video out there promoting some dental dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it.”
The creator of the Jurassic Park franchise Steven Spielberg also voiced his opinion about the dangers of AI and how creating art through it would not be the same. Speaking on The Late Late Show, Spielberg said, “The soul is unimaginable and is ineffable. It cannot be created by any algorithm. It is just something that exists in all of us. And to lose that because books and movies, music is being written by machines that we created…That terrifies me…It'll be the 'Twilight Zone'. It'll be a cookbook and we're on the menu.”
Actress Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late Robin Williams, recently criticized the use of AI to recreate her father's voice. Taking to Instagram, Zelda wrote, “These recreations are, at their very best, a poor facsimile of greater people but, at their worst, a horrendous Frankensteinian monster, cobbled together from the worst bits of everything this industry is, instead of what it should stand for.”
Famed Marvel actor Scarlett Johansson recently created quite a flutter when she decided to take legal action against an AI app for using her voice for an online ad without her consent. The representatives for the actor informed Variety that Johansson is not a spokesperson for the ad or the developer of the AI app, Convert Software, and was not contacted to get permission before airing
