Artificial intelligence can seem more human than actual humans on social media, study finds

A new study suggests that OpenAI’s GPT-3 can both inform and disinform more effectively than real people on social media. The research, published in Science Advances, also highlights the challenges of identifying synthetic (AI-generated) information, as GPT-3 can mimic human writing so well that people have difficulty telling the difference. The study was motivated by the increasing attention and interest in AI text generators, particularly after the release of OpenAI’s GPT-3 in 2020. GPT-3 is a cutting-edge AI language model that can produce highly credible and realistic texts based on user p...
