You can see if ads on Google Search, Google Discover, and YouTube were made or edited using AI from a new section in Google's "My Ad Center," as reported earlier by TechCrunch. The update, announced on Thursday, adds a "created or edited with AI" label under the "how this ad was made" tab. Users can find it by tapping the three dots or info button on ads, which pulls up the same panel where you can also block or report ads. Google says it will automatically apply the AI label to any ads made with its own generative AI advertising tools, but AI ads made elsewhere will need to have the label applied manually.

The post How does Grok 4.5 compare to Anthropic’s Claude after Musk’s comments? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SpaceXAI recently released a new version of its AI chatbot called Grok 4.5.

Elon Musk, in a post on X, described the newly launched Grok 4.5 as “an Opus-class model” that is faster and more cost-efficient. The model is designed for coding and other complex tasks.  Musk followed up after the launch with a second post, writing, “Looks like Grok 4.5 is #1 on at least a few benchmarks. Better than expected.” SpaceXAI (NASDAQ: SPCX) lists Grok 4.5 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, which is significantly cheaper than using Anthropic’s models,
