ChatGPT is creating headaches for schools while giving rise to a growing cohort of companies that say they can tell' human from machineSince its release last November, ChatGPT has shaken the education world. The chatbot and other sophisticated AI tools are reportedly being used everywhere from college essays to high school art projects. A recent survey of 1,000 students at four-year universities by Intelligent.com found that 30% of college students have reported using ChatGPT on written assignments.This is a problem for schools, educators and students - but a boon for a small but growing cohort of companies in the AI-detection business. Players like Winston AI, Content at Scale and Turnitin are billing for their ability to detect AI-involvement in student work, offering subscription services where teachers can run their students' work through a web dashboard and receive a probability score that grades how human" or AI" the text is.

Android maker's first foldable has sleeker design, simpler software and top camera, but wallet-busting priceGoogle's first folding phone-tablet hybrid is finally here to give Samsung's leading Z Fold a run for its money, with different ideas of how such a cutting-edge device should work and a serious camera upgrade.The Pixel Fold costs a colossal 1,749 ($1,799), which is 100 more than the already eye-wateringly expensive rival from Samsung, and more than twice the price of Google's top regular phone, the 849 Pixel 7 Pro. That puts the Pixel Fold in the rarefied company of ultra-premium gadgets, best thought of as the Ferraris or Bentleys of the phone world. Continue reading...

Screen time can feel all-consuming. But there are ways to combat it. Guardian readers explain the rules, hobbies and habits that help them maintain healthy lives offlineMy work communications come primarily through three WhatsApp groups, so the blending of personal and work has felt pretty unavoidable. Then, I accidentally kept my phone on Do Not Disturb - ie. all notifications were silenced - for a week. It was bliss! As I still use my phone constantly, I picked up enough of the messages to show I'm still engaged in life and work, but since I don't have the constant notifications I feel much calmer. It's been months now and it's been fine. Victory! Ammie Johnstone, Glasgow Continue reading...

Tech firm gives parents greater control over their children's online activities, but not all kids have consistent supervisionSocial media giant Meta this week introduced new parental supervision tools, but child protection and anti-sex trafficking organizations say the new measures offer little protection to the children most vulnerable to exploitation, and divert the responsibility from the company to keep its users safe.On Tuesday, Meta launched new features aimed at increasing parents' awareness of their children's activities on its platforms. For Messenger, its private message service, parents can now view and receive updates on their child's contacts list and monitor who views any stories their child posts. On Instagram, the company has introduced a new notice to alert parents if their child has blocked somebody. Continue reading...
From new iterations of Street Fighter, Diablo and Zelda to modern takes on 80s arcades and an evil pizza atop a pizza tower, readers share their picksThis is a 2023 remake of the game that got me into action games in 2005. Third-person over the shoulder shooters were new then and the action genre started appealing to me for the first time. It now has a modern polish and atmosphere steeped in dread along with, at last, controls that don't make you feel like you're stuck in a tank. Leon is as goofy and dashing as ever and the blood and gore is dialled up to 11. It is smooth, slick, sick and just a fantastic experience. I haven't enjoyed a shooter this much since Resident Evil 4. Leslie, 37, Manchester Continue reading...

Tesla speculated electricity from thin air was possible - now the question is whether it will be possible to harness it on the scale needed to power our homesIn the early 20th century, Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla dreamed of pulling limitless free electricity from the air around us. Ever ambitious, Tesla was thinking on a vast scale, effectively looking at the Earth and upper atmosphere as two ends of an enormous battery. Needless to say, his dreams were never realised, but the promise of air-derived electricity - hygroelectricity - is now capturing researchers' imaginations again. The difference: they're not thinking big, but very, very small.In May, a team at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst published a paper declaring they had successfully generated a small but continuous electric current from humidity in the air. It's a claim that will probably raise a few eyebrows, and when the team made the discovery that inspired this new research in 2018, it did. Continue reading...

For a street photographer in a New York zoo, wildlife and children came together brilliantlyIt happens to be his daughter Tess's 16th birthday on the day I speak with Sheldon Serkin about this photograph, which he took when Tess (on right) was just six. Sheldon and his wife, Tali, had taken Tess and her older brother, Elliot, to visit an exhibition at New York's Bronx zoo when they came upon the prairie dog enclosure.I wanted to take a photo of these bubbles in the ground, which visitors can climb up into as though they are in with the animals," Serkin says. It looked like an alien landscape to me. I framed the shot without the surrounding spectators, and as one of the prairie dogs took centre stage, children popped up in all three bubbles. It was brilliant timing and made an even better photo than I had anticipated." Continue reading...
A Netflix standup show was written by bots'. A TV writer has scripted joke software. And now artificial intelligence is taking on improvI've seen some bad comedy acts over the years - but not, until now, one that is part of an existential threat to humanity. One of artificial intelligence's pre-eminent boffins, Geoffrey Hinton, sent out shock waves recently by arguing that, in relation to AI: We're toast. This is the actual end of history."That's a hell of a backdrop to my visit to see Artificial Intelligence Improvisation, a show by the Improbotics troupe playing as part of an AI festival in London this week. You'll forgive me, I hope, for some hesitation in wielding the critical brickbat, given that the act under review boasts the capacity to wipe out all of us. Continue reading...

The parents of the home computer gamers of the 1980s presumably hoped we'd become programmers or accountants, but instead their kids ended up like meI had one of those ads pop up on Twitter recently. You know the ones. Not the weirdly suggestive ones trying to get you to download some crap free-to-play mobile game. The ones that show you something you never previously thought you needed - because you didn't - but now you've seen it, you think your life cannot possibly go on without it. Like a cage for barbecuing vegetables. A watch that doubles as a miniature air fryer. This one was for a tiny inkless printer you can use to print stuff from your phone and turn it into stickers.People my age had this 42 years ago, though. Only back then it was the most derided peripheral ever: the Sinclair ZX Printer for the ZX Spectrum. My mother brought both machine and printer home in 1982, proclaiming that we would now be able to do word processing and write books like the families in the posh part of town. Before you scoff and say, But Dominik, you grew up in Arbroath. There IS no posh part of Arbroath!", let me stress that there IS. It is called Dundee. Continue reading...
This week in artificial intelligenceArtificial intelligence is either going to save humanity or finish it off, depending on who you speak to. Either way, every week there are new developments and breakthroughs. Here are just some of the AI stories that have emerged in recent days: The US company behind the ChatGPT chatbot, OpenAI, has announced that its first international office will be in London. The move is a boost for the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, who has described the AI race as one of the greatest opportunities" for the country's tech industry.

2020's Tell Me Why from French studio Don't Nod remains the best trans story in games - and we could use more of themNow is the perfect time to play 2020's story-driven adventure game Tell Me Why: in honour of Pride month, it's currently free to download. Developer Don't Nod's tale follows a trans man returning to his childhood home and confronting his family's past. A major video game that centres any trans character is a rarity to celebrate, but Tyler Ronan doesn't feel tokenistic; he is part of a mature and complex story. Tell Me Why feels like a necessary counterbalance to a wider climate that seems desperate to make gender-diverse people feel marginalised and forgotten.Tyler, a trans man, and his twin cisgender sister, Alyson, spend much of the game exploring the mysteries behind their mother's death. Mental health and the fallibility of memory take equal weight, as the game explores transphobia and belonging. As a trans woman, I found the narrative compelling, challenging and deeply affecting. I was drawn in by its representation of trans people, but my attention was held by its musings on the universal concerns we all have. In other words, I was moved by its confidence in showing that trans lives are as complex as anyone else's. Continue reading...

As Pride month ends, the editor of Gayming magazine assesses the state of play for LGBTQ+ depictions in video gamesOne of the falsehoods perpetuated among the more toxic sections of the gaming community is that LGBTQ+ representation and community in video games is something new: an agenda developers and publishers are pushing, at the risk of alienating their overwhelmingly white, cis male fanbase. Actually, video games have always been queer.This is the title of a very informative book from Bo Ruberg, which investigates the ways in which LGBTQ+ themes show up in games. Was there anything remotely gay about Pong, Tetris, Sonic or Call of Duty? Ruberg would argue that there is - but in 2023, we don't have to read queerness into video games. It's more overt, and it's everywhere, from Horizon Forbidden West to The Last of Us to the forthcoming Thirsty Suitors. Continue reading...

Sega and Nintendo are releasing new games within days of each other this October, both nostalgic callbacks to the era of 2D platformers. Can they push the genre forward? Don't get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereRivalry is a vital element of fandom. Whether its punks v rockers, Star Trek v Star Wars or Marvel v DC, subcultures have always defined themselves by what they're not as much as what they are. Which is why I'm secretly delighted that Sega and Nintendo are apparently releasing their new Sonic and Mario games within days of each other this October. Both Super Mario Bros Wonder and Sega Superstars are nostalgic callbacks to the era of 2D platforming. Both games allow players to select from a range of classic characters and take on the rich, lushly colourful environments in cooperative modes, and both supplement the retro aesthetics with new abilities. Mario can transform into an elephant and use his trunk to batter enemies. Sonic can harness chaos emerald power to, say, transform into a watery version of himself so that he can swim up waterfalls.After visiting the Summer Games Fest in Los Angeles earlier this month, I am thrilled to hear other attendees vividly debating the merits of the two titles. At the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago in 1991, Sega made its rivalry with Nintendo the theme of its stand, where the Mega Drive console (known as Genesis in the US) was being shown to American audiences for the first time. Visitors could watch a video demo of Sonic the Hedgehog playing side-by-side with Super Mario World on a big CRT monitor in the centre of the space. While the latter was sedate, comfortable and somewhat childish, Sonic pelted across the screen like a comet, synth-rock blaring. Famously, when tech reporters tried to talk to Sega about the much smaller colour palette of the Mega Drive hardware compared to the Super Nintendo, Sega's then head of marketing Al Nilsen would point at the games running side by side and yell: Which has more colours? Can you tell? Nobody cares!" Continue reading...
Google has said the study makes extremely inaccurate claims" and stated that advertisers are only paying for ads when they are viewedGoogle may have misled dozens of business and government advertisers about the viewership of ads running on third party websites and apps, while charging for them, a new report has claimed.Google's TrueView is the company's proprietary video ad product that is displayed not only in YouTube but on third party sites and apps across the internet. Users can skip the ad after five seconds, but an advertiser only gets charged if a user watches 30 seconds - or the length of the ad if under 30 seconds - and if the video is playing audio, and isn't activated by a user passively scrolling past it on the page.

Prototypes are finally taking off after a difficult time for investors, and some surprising challengers have joined the raceAmong the fighter jets and military helicopters performing for the crowds at the Paris airshow last week, a strange two-seater craft lifted off the runway. Like a drone crossed with a helicopter, the Volocopter has an electric motor and a white wasp-shaped body, on top of which sits a circular frame supporting 18 separate sets of blades, or rotors. With that short flight, the dream of making flying taxis for the masses moved a little closer to becoming reality.Made by a German startup, Volocopter was the only such vehicle actually flying at the show, while other companies displayed mock-ups. Getting from the costly design and testing phase to even costlier manufacturing will be a major challenge for the industry. Not all of the competitors will survive. Continue reading...
