It's no secret that despite significant investment from companies like OpenAI and Runway, AI-generated videos still struggle to achieve convincing realism at times. Some of the most amusing fails end up on social media, which has led to a new response trend on Chinese social media platforms TikTok and Bilibili where users create videos that mock the imperfections of AI-generated content. The trend has since spread to X (formerly Twitter) in the US, where users have been sharing the humorous parodies.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly type of cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. To improve diagnosis accuracy, researchers have proposed using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to segment annotated PDAC histopathological whole slide images (WSIs). A recent study published in Frontiers in Oncology demonstrated the effectiveness of AI-powered segmentation in identifying areas important for PDAC diagnosis. The study used a deep CNN structure to segment 11 annotated PDAC histopathological WSIs, achieving a Dice score of 73 on the WSIs including PDAC areas. This level of precision is crucial for developing reliable AI models that can be used in clinical practice.
