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 lots of the AI-written pitches I obtain don’t cross the sniff take a look at but; their type and wordiness really feel off.

Then once more, it’s in all probability too early to anticipate machines to detect a je ne sais quoi, even when we are able to see it. As fellow TechCrunch author Ron Miller noticed not too long ago, “it’s really like AI-generated art, which has a certain look and feel.”

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