By: Science Desk Kochi | January 11, 2024 16:14 IST If you ever requested ChatGPT, the language model-based chatbot developed by OpenAI, to recite a well-known poem, you might be surprised to find it delivering the entire text verbatim, regardless of copyright law. A recent study conducted by Cornell researchers reveals that ChatGPT can memorize and reproduce poems, leading to ethical questions about the training of AI models using data sourced from the internet. The study, presented at the Computational Humanities Research Conference on Saturday, focused on exploring how large…

Updated on 11-01-2024 | IST 01:02 PM Whirligig beetles, known as the world’s fastest-swimming insects, have mystified researchers with their remarkable speeds, achieving peak acceleration of 100 meters per second and a top velocity of 100 body lengths per second. A recent study conducted by Cornell University challenges previous explanations of the physics behind their rapid swimming, shedding light on a surprising strategy shared by fast marine mammals and waterfowl. The common belief among researchers was that whirligig beetles attained their incredible speeds through drag-based thrust, a propulsion system requiring…
