Don’t have time to read that journal article?
TLDRthis will summarise it for you.
based on recent research experience, theoretically-driven, qualitative social research is best equipped to detect and protect against AI interference.
Evaluating the role of AI-as-participant in online qualitative research
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14780887.2024.2311427
There are additional implications for research. The threat of AI as an unwanted participant means researchers will have to work longer or harder to spot imposter participants.
Scientific Journals Are Publishing Papers With AI-Generated Text
https://www.404media.co/scientific-journals-are-publishing-papers-with-ai-generated-text/
Last week, Bellingcat researcher Kolina Koltai tweeted a paper published in Surfaces and Interfaces, which included the phrase "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:" at the top of the paper's introduction.
I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see.
Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.
It takes a few seconds to spot a fake and stop the spread of disinformation. Let's learn how! 🧵
Google has an interesting game you can play called odd one out, where you're presented with 4 images, one of which is AI generated.
It's scary how hard it is to get right

That way you can determine whether they are likely to be trustworthy without doing the extra legwork of directly verifying every fact and figure.

Ahead of the 2024 US election, Google has confirmed that Gemini will not answer questions about not only US elections, but elections around the globe.
Speaking to Reuters, Google confirmed that Gemini, its AI chatbot, is now restricted from answering questions about elections.
Gemini responds saying that it is “still learning how to answer this question,” directing users to go to traditional Google Search instead.

THREAD: How to verify images online?
Four international photo agencies have retracted a picture of the Princess of Wales and her children over concerns it has been "manipulated".
The image, taken by Prince William for Mother's Day, was the first of Catherine to be released by Kensington Palace since her surgery in January.
Getty Images, AFP, Reuters and Associated Press have pulled the photo - "inconsistency in alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand".
Kensington Palace declined to comment.
former Google software engineer has been charged with stealing the company's artificial intelligence trade secrets while surreptitiously working for two Chinese companies, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.

Google is launching “a more precise way for you to tune Gemini’s responses” on the web app
When selecting (by highlighting) a part of Gemini’s response to your prompt, a pencil/sparkle icon appears to “Modify selected text.” This opens a box with Regenerate, Shorter, Longer, and Remove options, as well as an open text field.
One email also indicates that he knew and agreed with OpenAI's plans to eventually stop sharing all its work as open source

Microsoft’s Copilot AI Calls Itself the Joker and Suggests a User Self-Harm
The company’s AI chatbot, formerly Bing Chat, told a data scientist that it identified as the Joker character and proceeded to sprout worrying responses.
Microsoft said Fraser had tried to manipulate Copilot into spitting out inappropriate responses, which the data scientist denied in a statement to Bloomberg.

Celebrities including Piers Morgan, Nigella Lawson and Oprah Winfrey have criticised the use of AI deepfake online adverts that gave the false impression they had endorsed a US influencer's controversial self-help course.
The adverts promoted the so-called "Genie Script", the centrepiece of a "manifestation" course sold for $37 (£29) a time by Wesley "Billion Dollar" Virgin.

Gemini image generation got it wrong. We'll do better.
We recently made the decision to pause Gemini’s image generation of people while we work on improving the accuracy of its responses. Here is more about how this happened and what we’re doing to fix it.

Google hits pause on Gemini’s people pictures
After a diversity initiative proved disastrous, it’s time to loosen chatbot guardrails
https://www.platformer.news/google-gemini-ai-photos-diversity-pause/
Stratechery noted that Google’s Gemini chatbot seemed to refuse all attempts to generate images of white men The refusals, which came as a result of the bot re-writing user prompts in an effort to bring more diversity into the images it generates, led to some deeply ahistorical howlers: racially diverse Nazis, for example
