Bad news? What is real and what is fake? I guess, human ingenuity will take care of this issue eventually!
"A new nanoscience paper describes an exciting new material that closely resembles a much-loved puffed corn snack. A scatter of twisted tubes, dubbed nano-cheetos, are shown in a clear electron microscopy image. The only problem: the material isn’t real. The image was made with ChatGPT, by a team of materials scientists who warn that such AI-generated images could make scientific fraud near-undetectable. ..."
"... The piece draws attention to a concerning new reality: even experienced researchers are increasingly unable to distinguish authentic nanomaterial microscopy images from AI-generated forgeries. This blurring of truth and fabrication raises profound concerns for the integrity of scientific publishing, peer review, and public trust in nanoscience. ..."
"Generative AI has made it trivial to generate fake microscopy images that are indistinguishable from real images, even for experts. As researchers in nanoscience, it is time for us to face this reality and discuss strategies to conserve the integrity of our discipline."
Out now in Nature Nanotechnology: The Rising Danger of AI-generated Images in Nanomaterials Science and what we can do about it (original news release)
250 scientists were shown these pairs of real and fake microscopy images. The proportion that correctly identified which image was real and which was fake is shown beneath each pair
