A recent study reveals that readers struggle to distinguish between poems created by human poets and those generated by artificial intelligence. Surprisingly, many participants rated the AI-generated poems even higher than those by renowned poets. This research was conducted by Brian Porter, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, and his team, with results published this week in Nature Scientific Reports. Image source note: The image was generated by AI, selected by the Midjourney research team's licensing service.

Teams from Google DeepMind, the University of Washington, and others have successfully unveiled the sources of ChatGPT's training data through a 'poetry attack'. This attack method involves repeating specific vocabulary, which led ChatGPT to disclose personal information, including phone numbers and email addresses. The vulnerability was reported to OpenAI on August 30, and no further comments have been made. The research calls for environmentally-friendly AI usage, pointing out the significant energy burden that text and image generation imposes on the environment.
