Can A.I. Detection Tools Really Spot Fake Images and Videos?

Artificial intelligence detectors are increasingly used to check the veracity of content online. We ran more than 1,000 tests and found several strengths and plenty of weaknesses.

Times article on whether jerky is a healthy protein snack contains the line “it’s not so cut and dried”. I should have seen that coming.
The ads are either alcohol, pharma, gambling, insurance. What a world…
