Fluent AI text slips past our gut checks, so we stop asking who wrote this.
JudgeGPT studies the fluency trap by testing how people judge AI vs human news in the wild.
If it sounds credible, do you still look for a source?

Most images you see online have no proof where they came from.
Origin Lens reads C2PA Content Credentials - a cryptographic receipt inside an image - showing who made it, how it was edited, and if it was altered, all on-device.
Would you trust images more if their history came built in?

Check it out in the App Store. https://github.com/aloth/origin-lens

Fake news isn’t handcrafted anymore, it’s industrialized.
This research setup generates controlled news across GPT, Llama, and Mistral side by side to study how deception scales.
If multiple models tell the same story, would you spot the lie?

The scary part isn’t AI writing fake news - it’s us believing it.
We built a live experiment where people judge news fragments and instantly learn if a human or a model wrote them.
If trust becomes a skill you have to train, who gets left behind?

CRED-1: open multi-signal domain credibility dataset for automated pre-bunking of online misinformation. Paper, dataset, code, and production integrations.

Can you improve a pretrained transformer without training it again? This paper loops mid-layer blocks at inference time, treating transformer layers as ODE steps. With the right damping, performance improves across dense and MoE models.

CRED-1, an open multi-signal domain credibility dataset for on-device pre-bunking of misinformation, is being presented at #ACMWebSci 2026 in Braunschweig.

Trackless Links is the first production integration. Free promo codes for readers and attendees while supplies last:
