AI Slip Up: Mechanize Big Bet, Cursor AI Hallucination, DeepMind New Way to Learn, China Robot Race, and PodBean

In Today’s AI for Business News:

• Mechanize wants to automate the global workforce, training AI agents to take on white-collar jobs in virtual work environments.
• Cursor AI's support chatbot caused confusion by inventing a fake policy, leading to backlash and canceled subscriptions.
• DeepMind pushes for "experiential learning," where AI improves by doing, not just studying human data.
• Robots joined a half-marathon in Beijing, with only two finishing—highlighting both progress and technical hurdles.

Prompt Tip – Get better results by asking AI to act like the platform’s algorithm, not just a content creator.
