[Fox News] AI appears more human on social media than actual humans: study

Artificial intelligence-generated text can appear more human on social media than text written by actual humans, a study found.

Chatbots, such as OpenAI’s wildly popular ChatGPT, are able to convincingly mimic human conversation based on prompts it is given by users. The platform exploded in use last year and served as a watershed moment for artificial intelligence, handing the public easy access to converse with a bot that can help with school or work assignments and even come up with dinner recipes.

Researchers behind a study published in the scientific journal Science Advances, which is supported by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, were intrigued by OpenAI’s text generator GPT-3 back in 2020 and worked to uncover whether humans “can distinguish disinformation from accurate information, structured in the form of tweets,” and determine whether the tweet was written by a human or AI.

One of the study’s authors, Federico Germani of the Institute of Biomedical Ethics and History of Medicine at the University of Zurich, said the “most surprising” finding was how humans more likely labeled AI-generated tweets as human-generated than tweets actually crafted by humans, according to PsyPost.

HUMANS STUMPED ON DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REAL OR AI-GENERATED IMAGES: STUDY

“The most surprising discovery was that participants often perceived information produced by AI as more likely to come from a human, more often than information produced by an actual person. This suggests that AI can convince you of being a real person more than a real person can convince you of being a real person, which is a fascinating side finding of our study,” Germani said.

With the rapid increase of chatbot use, tech experts and Silicon Valley leaders have sounded the alarm on how artificial intelligence can spiral out of control and perhaps even lead to the end of civilization. One of the top concerns echoed by experts is how AI could lead to disinformation to spread across the internet and convince humans of something that is not true.

OPENAI CHIEF ALTMAN DESCRIBED WHAT ‘SCARY’ AI MEANS TO HIM, BUT CHATGPT HAS ITS OWN EXAMPLES

Researchers for the study, titled “AI model GPT-3 (dis)informs us better than humans,” worked to investigate “how AI influences the information landscape and how people perceive and interact with information and misinformation,” Germani told PsyPost.

The researchers found 11 topics they found were often prone to disinformation, such as 5G technology and the COVID-19 pandemic, and created both false and true tweets generated by GPT-3, as well as false and true tweets written by humans.

WHAT IS CHATGPT?

They then gathered 697 participants from countries such as the U.S., UK, Ireland, and Canada to take part in a survey. The participants were presented with the tweets and asked to determine if they contained accurate or inaccurate information, and if they were AI-generated or organically crafted by a human.

“Our study emphasizes the challenge of differentiating between information generated by AI and that created by humans. It highlights the importance of critically evaluating the information we receive and placing trust in reliable sources. Additionally, I would encourage individuals to familiarize themselves with these emerging technologies to grasp their potential, both positive and negative,” Germani said of the study.

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF AI? FIND OUT WHY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Researchers found participants were best at determining disinformation crafted by a fellow human than disinformation written by GPT-3.

“One noteworthy finding was that disinformation generated by AI was more convincing than that produced by humans,” Germani said.

The participants were also more likely to recognize tweets containing accurate information that were AI-generated than accurate tweets written by humans.

The study noted that in addition to its “most surprising” finding that humans often can’t differentiate between AI-generated tweets and human-created ones, their confidence in making a determination fell while taking the survey.

“Our results indicate that not only can humans not differentiate between synthetic text and organic text but also their confidence in their ability to do so also significantly decreases after attempting to recognize their different origins,” the study states. 

WHAT IS AI?

The researchers said this is likely due to how convincingly GPT-3 can mimic humans, or respondents may have underestimated the intelligence of the AI system to mimic humans. 

“We propose that, when individuals are faced with a large amount of information, they may feel overwhelmed and give up on trying to evaluate it critically. As a result, they may be less likely to attempt to distinguish between synthetic and organic tweets, leading to a decrease in their confidence in identifying synthetic tweets,” the researchers wrote in the study.

The researchers noted that the system sometimes refused to generate disinformation, but also sometimes generated false information when told to create a tweet containing accurate information.

“While it raises concerns about the effectiveness of AI in generating persuasive disinformation, we have yet to fully understand the real-world implications,” Germani told PsyPost. “Addressing this requires conducting larger-scale studies on social media platforms to observe how people interact with AI-generated information and how these interactions influence behavior and adherence to recommendations for individual and public health.”

[Fox News] Webb Space Telescope takes stunningly detailed infrared image of actively forming stars

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the activity of a pair of forming young stars in high-resolution near-infrared light. 

These stars, known as Herbig-Haro 46/47, are imaged within the orange-white splotch, buried in a disk of gas and dust. 

The disk, which is not visible other than its shadow, feeds their growth as they continue to gain mass.

Its shadow can be seen in the two dark, conical regions surrounding the central stars.

ALIEN CRAFT COULD HAVE CAUSED ‘MOST BIZARRE ROCK’ ON MARS, SCIENTISTS CLAIM

The two-sided lobes extending outward from the actively forming central stars are shown in orange, made up mostly of material shot out from the stars as they repeatedly ingest and eject the gas and dust that surround them over thousands of years.

However, when material from more recent ejections runs into older material, it changes the shape of these lobes. 

The more recent ejections are shown in blue, running below the red horizontal diffraction spike, with clearer wavy patterns on the right side. 

Some disconnected ejections end in purple light and curly blue lines on the left also emerge. 

HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE FINDS BOULDERS POTENTIALLY SHAKEN OFF ASTEROID FOLLOWING DART EXPERIMENT

NASA says that all the jets are critical to star formation itself, and notes that ejections regulate how much mass the stars ultimately gather. 

The blue cloud in the image is a nebula, appearing nearly completely black in visible light. 

Using the telescope, scientists can see through the cloud, bringing the stars into focus and revealing more stars and galaxies that lie beyond it. 

“This nebula is significant – its presence influences the shapes of the jets shot out by the central stars. As ejected material rams into the nebula on the lower left, there is more opportunity for the jets to interact with molecules within the nebula, causing them both to light up,” the agency explained.

The smaller right half of Herbig-Haro 46/47 – located just 1,470 light-years away in the Vela Constellation – is angled slightly closer to Earth.

Over millions of years, NASA says the stars will fully form.

[Fox News] Cape Cod shark activity closes beach to swimming

Massachusetts shark activity along Cape Cod beaches shut one down Tuesday amid a busy summer season. 

The Sharktivity tracking app showed 14 white shark sightings along the coast over the past two days and four shark detections at buoys. 

There were two detections at Marconi Beach at Cape Cod National Seashore on Tuesday afternoon. 

The app said the shark had been sighted by lifeguards, who closed the beach for an hour to swimmers. 

SHARK BITES MAN AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND BEACH IN SOUTH CAROLINA, OFFICIALS SAY

“Marconi Beach… 1:30, shark sighting, everyone out of water… 2:30, one hour past since sighting, all clear to return to water. 2:35… shark sighting, everyone out of water!” Facebook user Maureen Cragen wrote in a Tuesday post. “It was like the shark knew when the hour was up.”

“Today at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet,” wrote user John Cuetara, “we saw sharks… and they saw us.”

Earlier in the day, a dead seal was spotted before a white shark was reported a quarter mile off Longnook Beach in Truro. 

SHARK ATTACK SURVIVOR RECOUNTS BONE ‘CRUNCHING’ ENCOUNTER: ‘IT WAS AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE’

Another shark sighting was reported off of Chatham’s North Beach Island.

“White shark spotted 200 yards off North Beach Island, moving in and offshore rapidly,” the Sharktivity post said.

Sharks were also seen off of Chatham’s Monomoy Island, a hotspot for shark activity in the summer and fall, according to The Boston Herald. 

The Sharktivity app was developed with input from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the Cape Cod National Seashore and officials from Cape Cod and South Shore towns.

[Fox News] California beaver policy aims to tap ecological benefits, protect ‘keystone species’

California has implemented a new policy recognizing the ecological benefits of beavers, encouraging landowners and agencies to wrap trees and install water-flow management devices rather than killing beavers over land and property damage. 

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said its new policy builds upon its existing beaver management policies and lays the groundwork for projects that harness beavers’ natural ability to help protect biodiversity, restore habitat and build wildfire-resilient landscapes. 

“This includes a process that enables beaver relocation as a restoration tool and a new non-lethal option. The policy also outlines a process to mitigate beaver depredation conflict, prioritizes the use of nonlethal deterrents whenever possible and ensures that lethal removal of depredation beavers is done in a humane manner,” the department said in a related release. 

“Beavers help improve habitat restoration and water quality, restore ecosystem processes and bolster wildfire resiliency,” Director Charlton H. Bonham said in a statement. “This new policy formally recognizes beavers as a keystone species and ecosystem engineers in California. They are truly the Swiss army knife of native species due to their ability to provide so many nature-based ecosystem services.”

GEORGIA GIRL ATTACKED BY RABID BEAVER WHILE SWIMMING IN LAKE LANIER

Bonham wrote in a previous op-ed that humans had spent millions trying to replicate the benefits of beavers, with beaver dams improving water quality, raising groundwater levels and slowing water flow.

“California’s next step is to expand partnerships with California native tribes, non-governmental organizations, private landowners, state and federal agencies and restoration practitioners to lay the groundwork for implementing beaver restoration projects,” he explained.

The policy went into effect in June and the department hired five environmental scientists dedicated to the initiative. 

TEXAS SCIENTISTS NAME NEWLY DISCOVERED ANCIENT BEAVER AFTER BUC-EE’S, THE STATE’S WILDLY POPULAR RES STOP

Staff will provide technical assistance to landowners to prevent any future occurrence of beaver damage.

The state is also running pilot projects to relocate beavers to places where they can be more beneficial. The program was funded by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration last year.

The policy follows similar moves by other Western states, including Washington’s beaver relocation program. 

Beavers in California were once pervasive but, after years of trapping and removal, are found in much smaller numbers in the northern and central parts of the Golden State. 

It is unknown how many beavers are currently residing in California, although they are not a protected species. Beavers were reported in the San Francisco Bay Area last December, according to SF Gate.

There are just up to 15 million of the “untapped, creative climate solving [heroes]” in North America today, according to the department.

Hundreds of permits are sought by landowners each year that typically allow them to kill the animals. 

While they are not a protected species, they help create a habitat critical for the endangered coho salmon and others.

Vicky Monroe, statewide conflict programs coordinator for California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife, told The Associated Press that her office has long received requests from groups that want beavers, but the state didn’t have a mechanism to legally move them until recently.

[Fox News] Alien craft could have caused ‘most bizarre rock’ on Mars, scientists claim

Scientists have reportedly not ruled out an extraterrestrial spacecraft to explain geographical anomalies recently discovered on Mars.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover found bizarre rows of spikes, plates and wedges in the Gale Crater on Mars in April, according to the Telegraph.

Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, an astrobiologist who serves at NASA’s Ames Research Center and Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI), described the finding as “the most bizarre rock” she had seen in her two decades of studying the red planet.

A research paper recently published by the Journal of Astrobiology surmised that the formations were “sand spikes,” such as those that can be seen on Earth following massive earthquakes, but researchers also noted that “a fragment from an extraterrestrial or terrestrial spacecraft cannot be discounted with absolute certainty.”

ALIEN LIFE POSSIBLY FOUND ON MARS IN 1970s, EX-NASA SCIENTIST SAYS

Researchers also observed that portions of what look like wheels, an axle and a debris field were also seen in the crater, the Telegraph reported.

“One can only speculate about extraterrestrial origins,” the researchers wrote in their paper, adding that the debris field could have decayed over time.

“There is no way of proving for certain what the spikes are, but the balance of the evidence would suggest ‘sand spikes’ resulting from seismic activity on Mars,” Professor Richard Armstrong of Aston University in Birmingham, England, told the Telegraph.

“I suspect the enigmatic ‘wheels’ are a separate phenomenon. Mars images often show strange formations and features which ‘look like’ familiar objects,” he added. “Any debris field on Mars would certainly suffer erosion over time, especially from wind.”

NASA’S NEXT MARS MISSION WILL LOOK FOR SIGNS OF ALIEN LIFE

At least 10 human spacecraft have crashed or been lost on Mars, according the Telegraph.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover has suffered damage as it has explored the planet, and experts claim there are approximately 15,694 pounds of human-caused debris on its surface.

[Fox News] Hubble Space Telescope finds boulders potentially shaken off asteroid following DART experiment

The Hubble Space Telescope has found a swarm of boulders that were potentially shaken off the asteroid Dimorphos following NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test experiment last September. 

The 37 boulders range in size from three feet to 22 feet across, based on Hubble photometry. 

NASA says the space rocks are drifting away from the asteroid at little more than a half-mile per hour. 

The total mass in the detected boulders is about 0.1% the mass of Dimorphos.

PERSEID METEOR SHOWER 2023: WHAT SKYWATCHERS SHOULD KNOW

“This is a spectacular observation – much better than I expected. We see a cloud of boulders carrying mass and energy away from the impact target. The numbers, sizes and shapes of the boulders are consistent with them having been knocked off the surface of Dimorphos by the impact,” David Jewitt, a planetary scientist of the University of California at Los Angeles, said in a statement. “This tells us for the first time what happens when you hit an asteroid and see material coming out up to the largest sizes. The boulders are some of the faintest things ever imaged inside our solar system.”

The boulders are most likely not pieces of the diminutive asteroid caused by the impact, and they were already littered across the asteroid’s surface as evident in the last picture taken by the spacecraft before its collision. 

Jewitt, who has been using Hubble to track changes in the asteroid following the DART impact, estimates that the impact shook off 2% of the boulders on the asteroid’s surface.

He said that the boulder observations by the observatory also give an estimate for the size of the DART impact crater, noting that the “boulders could have been excavated from a circle of about 160 feet across (the width of a football field) on the surface of Dimorphos.”

AUGUST FEATURES 2 SUPERMOONS, INCLUDING A BLUE MOON: WHAT TO KNOW

The agency says that Dimorphos may have formed from material shed into space by the larger asteroid Didymos. 

It’s not clear how the boulders were lifted off the asteroid’s surface, although they could be part of an ejecta plume that was photographed by Hubble. A seismic wave from the impact also may have shaken the surface rubble loose.

“If we follow the boulders in future Hubble observations, then we may have enough data to pin down the boulders’ precise trajectories. And then we’ll see in which directions they were launched from the surface,” said Jewitt.

He said that this opens up a new dimension for studying the aftermath of the experiment using the European Space Agency’s upcoming Hera spacecraft.

Hera, which is expected to arrive at the binary asteroid in late 2026, will perform a detailed post-impact survey of the targeted asteroid and eventually determine the size of the crater made by the spacecraft.

“The boulder cloud will still be dispersing when Hera arrives,” Jewitt explained. “It’s like a very slowly expanding swarm of bees that eventually will spread along the binary pair’s orbit around the Sun.”

DART intentionally impacted Dimorphos on September 26, 2022, slightly changing the trajectory of its orbit around the larger asteroid Didymos.

[Fox News] Perseid Meteor Shower 2023: What skywatchers should know

The dazzling Perseid meteor shower – one of the biggest meteor showers of the year – is back from July through late August. 

The shower is forecast to peak from August 12 to 13, when the moon will be 10% full, according to the American Meteor Society.

The society notes that normal rates seen from rural locations range from 50 to 75 shower members per hour at maximum.

The Perseids occur when Earth crosses through the stream of debris of the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle and its meteors – most of which are pea-sized – create bright “shooting stars” as they burn up in the planet’s atmosphere.

CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER BEGINS COMPLEX PROCESS TO VERTICALLY DISPLAY NASA’S SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR

The meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Perseus, or the shower’s “radiant,” but can be seen streaking across the sky anywhere at a speed of 37 miles per second.

The shower is also known for its fireballs, which can last longer than an average meteor streak.

AUGUST FEATURES 2 SUPERMOONS, INCLUDING A BLUE MOON: WHAT TO KNOW

Swift-Tuttle orbits between the sun and beyond the orbit of Pluto once every 133 years. 

Every year, the Earth passes near the path of the comet.

The comet itself won’t be visible to Earth again until 2125.

NASA says there is no chance the planet will soon run into the comet.

[Fox News] Early mammals may have hunted dinosaurs, rare China fossil suggests

An unusual fossil found in China suggests that some early mammals may have preyed on dinosaur, according to new research.

The fossil — which is reported to have dated back to around 125 million years ago — was found in China’s Liaoning Province in 2012, the Canadian Museum of Nature said in a release.

It comes from an area of fossil beds dubbed “China’s Dinosaur Pompeii,” referring to the fossils of animals and dinosaurs in the area that had been buried suddenly by mudslides and debris following volcanic eruptions. 

The existence of such volcanic material in the study’s fossil was confirmed, the museum wrote, after analysis from Canadian Museum of Nature mineralogist Dr. Aaron Lussier.

FOSSIL HUNTER SPOTS 450,000-YEAR-OLD MAMMOTH TUSK WHILE AT QUARRY: ‘STICKING OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB’

Lussier was one of the authors of the study published Tuesday in the journal Scientific Reports that presented the Canadian and Chinese scientists’ findings. 

“The two animals are locked in mortal combat, intimately intertwined, and it’s among the first evidence to show actual predatory behavior by a mammal on a dinosaur,” Dr. Jordan Mallon, palaeobiologist with the Canadian Museum of Nature and fellow co-author, said in a statement.

The dinosaur in the fossil is identified as a species of a plant-eating Psittacosaurus, which lived in Asia during the Early Cretaceous — or around 105 to 125 million years ago. Psittacosaurus was an early relative of the horned dinosaur lineage, with a parrot-like beak. 

The mammal was apparently a badger-like animal called Repenomamus robustus, which was among the largest mammals during that period. It had short limbs, a long tail, a curvy body and shearing teeth.

Before the discovery of this fossil, palaeontologists knew that Repenomamus preyed on dinosaurs including Psittacosaurus because of fossilized baby bones of the herbivore found in the mammal’s stomach, the museum said.

“The co-existence of these two animals is not new, but what’s new to science through this amazing fossil is the predatory behavior it shows,” Mallon noted. 

The fossil was reported to be in the care of co-author Dr. Gang Han, from the Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology, who brought it to the attention of Canadian Museum of Nature palaeobiologist Xiao-Chun Wu.

The museum highlighted that researchers had ruled out that the mammal was scavenging a dead dinosaur, because the dinosaur bones have no tooth marks and the position of the Repenomamus suggests it was also the aggressor.

The research team speculated that the volcanically derived deposits from the fossil beds in China will continue to yield new evidence of interactions among species.

“The fossil’s presence challenges the view that dinosaurs had few threats from their mammal contemporaries during the Cretaceous, when dinosaurs were the dominant animals,” the museum wrote.

The study authors acknowledged to The Associated Press that there have been some fossil forgeries known from this part of the world, which Mallon told the agency was a concern when they started their research. 

However, after doing their own preparations of the skeletons and analyzing the rock samples, he said they were confident that the fossil was genuine, and would welcome other scientists to study the fossil as well.

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

[Fox News] Alaska volcano eruption eases after emitting massive ash cloud

An eruption of the Shishaldin Volcano in Alaska has “gradually declined,” according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.

However, low-level ash emissions below 10,000 feet above sea level continue and a significant ash plume was produced Tuesday morning, reaching a height of around 30,000 feet. 

The plume has since detached, but remained visible between 60-280 miles away from the volcano. 

The National Weather Service issued a SIGMET for the cloud. SIGMETs are brief descriptions of the development and occurrence or expected occurrence in time and space of specified en-route weather phenomena which may affect the safety of all aircraft operations, according to the agency. 

ERUPTING ALASKA VOLCANO SPEWS HIGH ASH CLOIUD, TRIGGERS INFLIGHT WARNINGS FOR PILOTS

The aviation alert and Volcano Alert Levels have been reduced. 

The volcano, located in the Aleutian Islands, is situated about 700 miles southwest of Anchorage, and it sits near the middle of Unimak Island. 

Unimak Island has about 65 residents northeast of the volcano in the community of False Pass. 

Shishaldin Volcano began erupting on July 11, with strongly elevated surface temperatures reported at the summit.

AMERICAN TOURIST SAID THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO DIE DURING NEW ZEALAND VOLCANO ERUPTION TRIAL

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter flew by eruptive activity the next day.

Notably, an explosion on Friday produced an ash cloud that reached up to 7.5 miles and moved southward over the Pacific, with a second smaller explosion later that day. 

The volcano, one of the most active in the Aleutian arc, is a symmetric cone with a base diameter of 10 miles.

The 660-foot-tall funnel-shaped crater often emits steam and occasional ash.

There have been at least 26 confirmed eruptions at Shishaldin Volcano since 1824. 

While most are small, the observatory said a 1999 eruption produced an ash cloud that reached 8.5 miles.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

There are a number of essential factors you should consider before making a phone signal booster purchase. Here are some key things to consider. 

Coverage Area: Assess the size of the area that requires improved signal coverage. Different signal boosters have varying coverage capacities, so it’s crucial to select one that meets the specific needs of your home. 

Compatibility: Ensure that the chosen signal booster is compatible with your cell phone carrier and the frequency bands used in your area. 

Signal Strength: Consider the strength of the existing outdoor cell signal. If the signal is exceptionally weak, you may require a more powerful signal booster to achieve substantial improvements. 

FCC Compliance: Choose a signal booster that complies with FCC regulations and does not interfere with your cellular network. 

Reviews and Reputation: Do your homework and research customer reviews and ratings for different signal booster models to gauge their performance and reliability. 

Cellular signal boosters essentially boost your service using signals from further away cell towers, so you can’t be in a completely remote area for them to work. You’ll need to have at least a sliver of service – even if your phone is displaying only one bar of service, that should work. A cell phone signal booster system typically consists of three main components: 

TOP APPS TO TROUBLESHOOT YOUR WIFI SIGNAL 

The external antenna is usually mounted outside your home, where it can capture the weak cell signal. It is essential to position it in a location where it can access the best possible signal from the nearest cell tower. There are different types of external antennas available, such as omni-directional antennas that capture signals from multiple cell towers or yagi-directional antennas that focus on a specific tower. 

Once the external antenna captures the weak signal, it sends it to the signal amplifier, also known as the signal booster. The amplifier’s primary function is to strengthen the received signal, ensuring it becomes robust enough for distribution inside your home. 

The internal antenna is responsible for broadcasting the amplified signal within your home. Like the external antenna, there are different types of internal antennas available, such as omni-directional and panel antennas. The choice of an internal antenna depends on the size and layout of your home, as well as the specific areas you want to cover with an improved signal. 

Once you install the cell phone signal booster system, it effectively extends the coverage area for your cell phone, offering a stronger and more reliable signal throughout your home. 

When it comes to choosing the right cell phone signal booster, several options are available on the market.
