Experts from universities in the UK and Italy have been investigating whether large language models (LLMs) understand puns - and found them wanting.

Now, it turns out these majestic creatures produce not just one, but two distinct types of roar. That's according to researchers from the University of Exeter, who have identified a brand new type of growl in African lions. The animals - often referred to as the'King of the Jungle' - are best known for their full-throated roar, an immensely powerful vocalization that can be heard up to five miles away. However, using AI, the researchers were able to identify a second type of roar, which they've called the'intermediary roar'.

Whether its swiping through dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, or'sliding into DMs' on Instagram, there are plenty of ways to try and bag a date.

But couples whose relationship started online are less happy in love and have lower levels of marital satisfaction, according to a new study. What's more, they even experience love less intensely than those who met in person, the findings say.
