Too good to be true

Most instruments claiming to detect AI-generated textual content fail spectacularly, my colleague Kyle Wiggers reported. That’s a paradox. I’m solely human, however a variety of the AI-written pitches I obtain don’t go the sniff check but; their type and wordiness really feel off.

Then once more, it’s most likely too early to count on machines to detect a je ne sais quoi, even when we are able to see it. As fellow Information World author Ron Miller noticed not too long ago, “it’s actually like AI-generated artwork, which has a sure feel and appear.”

That feel and appear was made funnily apparent in a current experiment carried out on certainly one of my favourite social media accounts, Ugly Belgian Houses.
