Technological nods
Overview of the week’s news in the world of technology.
Draft & Goal
Terribly effective at detecting English texts written by an artificial intelligence like ChatGPT, Draft & Goal can now do its tracking in French. Since February 6th, this Franco-Quebecois software designed by Nabil Tayeb and Vincent Terrasi is perfectly bilingual. We obviously tested it. It spotted our five articles with 100% certainty as having been written by a human. For the five texts written in French by ChatGPT, the results are more mixed: three were identified with 100% certainty as coming from an artificial intelligence (AI), one had a certainty rate of only 50%, and the other, about tourist attractions in Manitoba, was considered to have been written by a human. Still, an overall success rate of 85%.

PS VR2
Whether it’s controlling an adorable little mouse or a knight in a Dungeons and Dragons setting, shooting at dumb zombies with a rifle, or putting oneself in the shoes of a caveman learning to use his environment, virtual reality offerings have never been so plentiful since the launch of PlayStation VR2 in mid-February. We’ve tried about twenty games, without fully testing all of them in such a short time, and have identified six that are worth mentioning. Virtual reality won’t replace video games anytime soon, that’s for sure, but here we have some surprising experiences that should be savored in small doses.

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Kirby, the little pink ball, is making a return to 2D in Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe. While the formula picks up the content of the same game released in 2011 for the Wii on Nintendo Switch, it enriches it in high definition and adds a ton of mini-games. The starting point of the story is that intergalactic traveler Magalor has lost his powers and is stranded on the planet Pop. It’s up to Kirby, whose main talent is to swallow his enemies to acquire their power and spit them out on the wacky creatures that attack him, to rescue him. Nothing too complicated, but a fun formula that has proven itself.
