Guccione: The Visual Artist. Top Story - June 2023.
As AI tools such as ChatGPT become even more advanced, we are starting to see how users are able to guide the tone, style, and length of generated responses to match the needs of a query. This experiment puts AI's capabilities to the test, comparing a ChatGPT generated magazine feature to an actual feature written by a human.

Bob Guccione and the Unabomber: An Unlikely History. Top Story - June 2023.
On June 10, 2023, Ted Kaczynski died in prison, ending one of the stranger tales of domestic terrorism in the United States. As interest in his activities as the “Unabomber” renews, materials related to Kaczynski in the OG Collection become even more intriguing. Putting AI’s skills in historical and speculative writing to the test makes this analysis especially relevant today.

The Artistic Visionaries of Omni Magazine: John Berkey, Colin Hay, Tsuneo Sanda, and Chris Moore. Top Story - June 2023.
The creatives who filled the pages of General Media's Omni magazine often imagined future worlds filled with revolutionary inventions and a heightened reliance on technology. The use of AI such as ChatGPT might have been just the sort of thing these thinkers predicted, so it is fitting to see how ChatGPT might remember their impact.

AI on AI: Omni Predicts Current Discussions Around Artificial Intelligence. Top Story - May 2023.
As more and more Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools become available there have also been additional applications theorized and warnings issued by the scientists involved. Taking a look at vintage issues of Omni magazine shows that our conversations around AI are rooted in a decades-long history of wanting AI to take over human tasks and invent new possibilities, and that it was known that this would not come without consequence. Current AI tools such as ChatGPT can help further these conversations, this time with the direct involvement of AI.

Context and Complexity: Diving into "The Penthouse Vietnam Veterans Adviser". Top Story - May 2023.
This experiment previously tested how AI research would describe the unexpected legacy of Penthouse magazine when it came to writing about the Vietnam War. In honor of Memorial Day we decided to put it to a further test to see how tools like ChatGPT can supplement original and historical works, particularly those as complex as Penthouse’s “Vietnam Veterans Adviser.”

Loving, Sensual, and Free: Viva and Feminist Magazines Through the Years. Top Story - May 2023.
Viva's launch in 1973 added a new perspective to the conversation between women's magazines, which at the time consisted of the Ms. Magazine camp, offering feminist news and writing, fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, or traditional but still popular publications such as Good Housekeeping. Viva joined elements of these magazines with erotic content, refusing to shy away from sex and controversy. Associate Publisher and Editor Kathy Keeton explained "Viva's Woman" in her First Word section for the August 1974 issue, explaining who the modern reader of Viva was. The inclusion of antiquated delineations between the "feminist" and the "traditional housewife," as well as a decidedly heteronormative stance, shows how Viva very much represented social currents of its time. This offers the perfect jumping off point to learn about other feminist movements through magazines thanks to ChatGPT, and to begin to theorize about what the future of the feminist magazine would look like.

Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 Prophecy Quiz. Top Story - May 2023.
In 1985 questions about the future touched on many of the issues still in the headlines today, from nuclear weapons to space tourism. In the July 1985 issue Omni put these queries to Arthur C. Clarke, famed science-fiction writer and futurist. We invite you to test your knowledge about Clark's just as Robert Weil and Peter Tyson invited Omni readers in 1985, with the 2023 addition of ChatGPT's answers to the same questons.

AI Predicts the Future of Censorship. Top Story - May 2023.
Just as in 1975, conversations surrounding censorship and free speech are predominent and urgent today. As "book bans" continue around the U.S., it is important to look at both the history of censorship and what the full extent of such bans could be. While Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury serve as seminal texts in this genre, Chat GPT offers its own entry when prompted.

Preserved Scandal: The History of Bob Guccione and Kodak Film. Top Story - April 2023.
While ChatGPT continues to help provide background information in the beginning stages of research, it still falls flat when pulling specific information and offering a next step for further learning about a topic. This strength and weakness are both on full display when it comes to the history of Bob Guccione's use of Kodak film for his risqué photography, providing background on the format while omitting the story of when Kodak refused to process photographs of Cheryl Rixon.

Nostalgic Crush: AI Predicts What Decade Will Inform Trends Next . Top Story - April 2023.
From butterfly clips and low rise jeans to vintage-inspired shows such as "Daisy Jones and the Six" and "Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies," nostalgia-informed fashion and culture seem to be taking over today's trends. As all-consuming as this might feel, the March 1980 issue of Penthouse proves that it is not a new phenomenon at all. Reading Marjorie Rosen's "View From the Top" column "Bring Back the Sixties," it becomes clear that culture has been stuck in this cycle for many years. Asking AI about this recurrence reveals a bit more history on the trend, an apt overview of how archives fit in, and examples in today's culture we have all observed firsthand.

The Gender-Delineated "Ad Age". Top Story - April 2023.
We have established that AI chat tools are a helpful place to begin, but not end, casual research into a topic. Asking ChatGPT for an overview on magazine advertisements in the 1970s revealed a path of questioning about gender roles in mass media. While the written responses did not provide nuance around gender identity and nonbinary readers, it did provide a place to start on this research inquiry. It will be difficult to contine with the resources offered, however, because ChatGPT provided either dead-end links or links to irrelevant articles for further reading.

AI Since Omni: From the Cray-1 in 1976 to GPT-3 in 2020. Top Story - April 2023.
What happens when you ask AI to write its own history? An article titled "Monster Machines: Artificial Intelligence" by Michael Edelhart in Omni, August 1983 provides inspiration for just this prompt. Edelhart writes about the supercomputers built by Seymour Cray, an important milestone on the road to the current juggernaut status of AI. While ChatGPT allows us to learn more about its own development in a way that extends beyond the boundaries of different companies in the space, its writing style still stands in sharp contrast to that of a human, such as Edelhart.
