Bot or Not: Can You Tell What is Human or Machine Written Text? - ICTworks

Recently, a researcher showed that he could create Deepfake text with artificial intelligence that is so real that US government officials did not know it was computer-generated, and accepted it as legitimate public comment. He then did a Turing Test to see if humans trained on spotting natural language processing could tell the difference between bot and human text. They were right about 50% of the time – essentially as good as flipping a coin. While reading the academic paper, I thought to myself, "Could machine learning to do the same for international development?" We have so much nuance, arcane language, and peculiarities, I didn't think it was possible.
