Can you tell bots from humans online? Half fail
Many social media users cannot reliably distinguish AI-written comments from posts written by real people, a test found. In an experiment run by cybersecurity company Surfshark with master’s students at Malmo University, only 53 percent of 710 participants identified bots more accurately than humans, while 47 percent failed. Results varied by topic and age, with detection highest on less emotional subjects and weakest on politically charged themes.
