sciencehabit shares a report from Science Magazine: With a few keystrokes, anyone can ask an artificial intelligence (AI) program such as ChatGPT to write them a term paper, a rap song, or a play. But don’t expect William Shakespeare’s originality. A new study finds such output remains derivative — at least for now. […] [O]bjectively testing this creativity has been tricky. Scientists have generally taken two tacks. One is to use another computer program to search for signs of plagiarism — though a lack of plagiarism does not necessarily equal creativity. The other approach is to have huma … - Startup Set To Brick $800 Kids Robot Is Trying To Open Source It First

While it appears that the alleged shooter never read the story, Doctorow said: „I feel like the most important thing about that is that it tells you that this is not a unique insight.“ Doctorow continued: „that the question that I had is a question other people have had.“ As an activist in favor of liberalizi … - 'Yes, I am a Human': Bot Detection Is No Longer Working
