Machines are learning to lie: The Dark Side of Intelligent Systems

Recent research published in the journal Patterns has shown examples of how artificial intelligence systems are learning to manipulate information and deceive people. The concept of deception by AI dates back to Alan Turing's famous 1950 paper, which introduced the "Imitation Game" - a test that evaluates whether a machine can demonstrate human-like intelligence: https://u.habr.com/XEHCM

"While in 2024 using XML looks a bit outdated, it still happens. And sometimes it happens we are to deal with XML having "free-structure", i.e. it couldn't be parsed into tree of user-defined structs. For JSON there still is a way to parse it with a single call into map[string]any and work with it using careful type assertions. Regretfully, there is no similar feature for XML (in Golang). Here I'll draft suitable function and demonstrate it - both for others and for myself if I ever need this again (recreating it from scratch may be somewhat painful)"
