š¬ Runwayās Gen-4 AI Makes Movie-Like Videos in Minutes (2 Min Read)
Runway just dropped its most powerful video-making AI yetāGen-4. This tool creates high-quality, realistic videos using just simple prompts. No complicated editing or extra training needed.
Gen-4 is great at keeping characters, backgrounds, and objects the same across scenes. That means if you make a video with a person in a red shirt walking through a city, theyāll stay in that red shirtāeven from different angles. Itās a big step up for people making content for social media, film, or marketing.
š What Makes It Special:
ā Looks Super Real ā High-quality, detailed video that stays consistent.
ā Great Continuity ā Same people, places, and objects across scenes.
ā More Control ā Creators can adjust camera angles or settings with ease.
š Is It Safe?
There are questions about how the AI was trained and whether it used copyrighted content. Runway says its training is protected by fair use.
š” Why It Matters
Gen-4 could make video creation faster and more affordable, helping small creators and big studios alike. With fewer technical steps, creatives can focus more on their storyāand less on editing.
š§¾ ChatGPT Can Now Fake ReceiptsāAnd Thatās a Problem (2 Min Read)
OpenAI just upgraded its image generator in the GPT-4o model, and itās stirring up controversy. Why? Itās now really good at creating fake receiptsāso good they even include food stains and look real enough to fool someone.
This new tool can add detailed, realistic text directly into images. Thatās something older models struggled with. While this upgrade can be used for art and education, itās also raising alarms about possible fraud.

The most real-looking example TechCrunch found was actually from France, where a LinkedIn user posted a crinkled-up AI-generated receipt for a local restaurant chain:
š What Makes It Special:
ā Text in Images ā Adds words that look real, right inside the photo.
ā Looks Messy on Purpose ā Can add stains or creases to look more believable.
ā Many Styles ā Can fake different types of receipts, not just one look.
š Is It Safe?
OpenAI adds hidden tags to show an image is AI-made, and they say theyāll act on any rule-breaking. Still, people are worried about how easy it is to make fake documents.
š” Why It Matters
This tech makes it harder to tell whatās real online. As AI tools get smarter, companies and users need to be more carefulāand more creativeāabout stopping fraud before it starts.
