Every day, fake pictures are getting more realistic. Today, anyone can access a web-based program like Midjourney or Dall-e and create artificial or manipulated images without much effort. The good news is that humans have a natural instinct for sniffing them out, according to Siwei Lyu, professor of computer science and engineering at the University at Buffalo. Lyu belongs to a group of researchers battling AI with AI—they’ve found the best way to teach an AI to find synthetic images is to show them how humans do it. We’ve been dealing with falsified images for a very long time. Image manipulation has been around just about as long as photography itself. What’s changed is how easy it is for someone without expertise to create something that appears genuine—resulting in an intimidating volume of synthetic images. But Lyu urges us not to panic. Here’s how to use our natural instincts to find things that aren’t quite right—and how to keep up with the lightning speed of AI advancement.
If there is a person in an image, look at their hands and eyes. Current AI programs aren’t good at producing lifelike hands—they may have six fingers, or fingers that are all the same length or in a strange pose. In March, an AI-generated image of Pope Francis wearing a Balenciaga puffer coat went viral. If you look closely at his hand, he’s holding his coffee by the lid’s tab—a strange way to hold it, even if the cup was empty. And why the eyes? Humans are really sensitive to minute characteristics of the face. Humans almost always have circular pupils, but AI often produces strangely shaped shadows in the center of the eye. Light reflecting off the eyes should also be in the same place on each eye, something that current AI struggles with.

Many of us react to stressful situations by drinking too much coffee, sleeping too much or not enough, or overeating (to meet this story’s deadline, for instance, I had yogurt, four cookies, and a ton of grapes). As it turns out, several wild animals also experience physical reactions to stress. The main challenges faced by wild animals are whether they’ll find enough food or whether they become someone else’s food. But sometimes, it’s people that cause the trauma. For instance, a new study shows the rare Colorado checkered whiptail lizard stress-eats in response to noise. Part of their habitat includes the Fort Carson Army Base, where low-flying aircraft regularly produce sounds louder than what they’d experience naturally. After observing some of the wild reptiles and taking their blood, the scientists found that during flyovers, the lizards released more of the stress hormone cortisol, as well as moved less and ate more. Eating more likely compensated for the energy lost while experiencing stress, the authors say.
Sleep, for all mammals, is key—and not having enough can be harmful. Sleep deprivation, a form of stress, can elicit increased eating in humans and some non-human animals alike. In lab studies, fruit flies subjected to social isolation slept less and ate more, and sleep-deprived mice ate more during their recovery. Some butterflies that don't get enough rest forage poorly and lay their eggs on the wrong types of plants. If some bee species don't get enough sleep, they'll perform their waggle dances, the bee equivalent of GPS, "with a less precise direction component," giving their spectators less helpful information on where to find food.

As organ transplant science advances, its biggest hurdles are increasingly logistical ones—such as securing a flight and navigating through traffic fast enough to deliver an organ before it deteriorates. Enter the drone, for which researchers recently documented a milestone test in Science Robotics. After hundreds of practice flights, their drone carried a human donor lung on a five-minute journey from the roof of Toronto Western Hospital to Toronto General Hospital for a successful transplant. The trip can take 25 minutes by road. This study suggests that drone delivery “may have a unique opportunity for organs like hearts and lungs that can tolerate less time on ice,” says Joseph Scalea, a transplant surgeon now at Medical University of South Carolina, who was not involved in the study. In 2019 his team at the University of Maryland made a groundbreaking drone delivery of a kidney—an organ that can survive 24 hours if packed in ice. Lungs and hearts last for less than half that long.
The team enhanced the drone's connectivity so radio frequencies wouldn't interfere with its GPS and installed a parachute set to open automatically in case of midair malfunction.
