The Imitation Game: Detecting Human and AI-Generated Texts in the Era of Large Language Models

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI)-based large language models (LLMs) holds considerable promise in revolutionizing education, research, and practice. However, distinguishing between human-written and AI-generated text has become a significant task. This paper presents a comparative study, introducing a novel dataset of human-written and LLM-generated texts in different genres: essays, stories, poetry, and Python code. We employ several machine learning models to classify the texts. Results demonstrate the efficacy of these models in discerning between human and AI-generated text, despite the dataset's limited sample size. However, the task becomes more challenging when classifying GPT-generated text, particularly in story writing. The results indicate that the models exhibit superior performance in binary classification tasks, such as distinguishing human-generated text from a specific LLM, compared to the more complex multiclass tasks that involve discerning among human-generated and multiple LLMs. Our findings provide insightful implications for AI text detection while our dataset paves the way for future research in this evolving area.

Let's have a chat! A Conversation with ChatGPT: Technology, Applications, and Limitations

The emergence of an AI-powered chatbot that can generate human-like sentences and write coherent essays has caught the world's attention. This paper discusses the historical overview of chatbots and the technology behind Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, better known as ChatGPT. Moreover, potential applications of ChatGPT in various domains, including healthcare, education, and research, are highlighted. Despite promising results, there are several privacy and ethical concerns surrounding ChatGPT. In addition, we highlight some of the important limitations of the current version of ChatGPT. We also ask ChatGPT to provide its point of view and present its responses to several questions we attempt to answer.

NFTGAN: Non-Fungible Token Art Generation Using Generative Adversarial Networks

Digital arts have gained an unprecedented level of popularity with the emergence of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs are cryptographic assets that are stored on blockchain networks and represent a digital certificate of ownership that cannot be forged. NFTs can be incorporated into a smart contract which allows the owner to benefit from a future sale percentage. While digital art producers can benefit immensely with NFTs, their production is time consuming. Therefore, this paper explores the possibility of using generative adversarial networks (GANs) for automatic generation of digital arts. GANs are deep learning architectures that are widely and effectively used for synthesis of audio, images, and video contents. However, their application to NFT arts have been limited. In this paper, a GAN-based architecture is implemented and evaluated for novel NFT-style digital arts generation. Results from the qualitative case study indicate that the generated artworks are comparable to the real samples in terms of being interesting and inspiring and they were judged to be more innovative than real samples.
