| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The rise of social media has made it increasingly challenging for the public to discern truth from falsehood, as large language models like ChatGPT can generate highly convincing misinformation. Traditional fake news detection methods are less effective, and current detectors often overlook machine-generated true vs. fake news in low-resource languages. To address these limitations, we updated our detection schema to include machine-generated news with a focus on the Urdu language and proposed a hierarchical detection strategy for improved accuracy and robustness. Our experiments demonstrate its effectiveness across four datasets in various settings. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper is about how social media has made it harder to tell what’s real and what’s fake. Big language models like ChatGPT can make misinformation that sounds really convincing. Old ways of spotting fake news don’t work well anymore, especially when dealing with languages other than English. To help solve this problem, the authors updated their method for detecting fake news and tested it on four different datasets. |
