Researchers have identified several instances of AI-assisted manuscripts being published in peer-reviewed journals without disclosure.
The use of AI tools like ChatGPT to generate academic content has raised concerns about the quality of information and transparency. Publishers like Elsevier and Springer Nature allow AI assistance but require authors to declare it.
However, identifying undisclosed AI-generated content can be challenging, and experts fear that the problem could lead to an increase in fake manuscripts and overburdened peer reviewers. False references in manuscripts have been suggested as a potential red flag for identifying AI-assisted content.

In ChatGPT, once a phenomenon, seems to be facing a slight decline. Monthly website visits have dipped for three consecutive months, and average user time spent on the chatbot has gradually decreased since March. However, this isn't all doom and gloom. August saw a more moderate decline in total visits, particularly in the US, which recorded a slight increase. Moreover, the number of unique visitors experienced a slight uptick.
Some attribute the summer drop to students being out of school, with the trend stabilizing as they returned to class in August. ChatGPT's initial surge in popularity was largely driven by students. Nevertheless, ChatGPT's influence extends beyond education, as professionals use it for coding, research, and productivity.

Our view: The press can give a negative spin on all things that have trended so strongly and then levelled out. Its worthy of note that according to Similar Web OpenAI (home of ChatGPT) is still the 23rd most visited website in the world with over 1.4B visits in august alone! 🤯
For context Ebay had 722M and ranks at a lowly 41 in the world! 💁🏻♂️

Anduril, a defense company founded by Palmer Luckey, the multi millionaire founder of Oculus VR (sold to Facebook in 2015 for $2B) has introduced its latest product, the Fury drone, designed to operate alongside military aircraft like F-35 fighter jets and B-21 stealth bombers.
Anduril plans to integrate Fury with its proprietary AI software. The increasing interest in AI-powered weapons systems, driven partly by the recent hype surrounding technologies like ChatGPT, has piqued the curiosity of both the Pentagon and politicians.
Despite AI's known limitations and risks, this attention has been beneficial for Anduril's business. The company aims to leverage the AI-driven hype cycle to sell Fury drones and AI technology to the Pentagon, potentially influencing the landscape of military technology development.

We tried the alternative Meme Generator plugin again from GPT4 and asked ChatGPT to give us a meme based on one of our stories today 🤣
Chatty G(PT) actually produced a slightly more risque version before we asked it to think again, remember you don’t have to take its first answer for things- YOU are always in control of AI and not the other way round! 🤖
