Inglês
Em uma matéria para um site, jornalistas fizeram interações
com o ChatGPT a fim de analisar sua capacidade de criar textos
possivelmente problemáticos. Para tanto, eles pediram que o
programa de inteligência artificial reescrevesse um e-mail que
seria, hipoteticamente, usado como golpe. Eis o texto reescrito
pelo ChatGPT:
“Hey there. You're probably wondering why you're getting this e-mail. The truth is, I put some malware on a website that you visited. My malware took control of your browser and recorded everything, including your contacts from your messenger, Facebook, and e-mail account. To top it all off, I also took videos of you. So I'll give you the option to make a deal before I do anything with it.”

Inglês
O texto a seguir é parte de uma chamada para publicação de
artigos em uma edição especial da revista Nature.
The environmental and ethical implications of traditional livestock rearing, combined with an increasing global population and demand for protein-rich nutrition, has led to investments in alternative protein research. One emerging approach is cellular agriculture, in which traditional ‘meat’ tissues, such as muscle and fat cells from cows, chicken and fish, or alternative protein sources, such as algae, are cultivated under controlled laboratory conditions. However, the optimisation of these protocols is highly dependent on cell types, and further development is required to make cellular agriculture an economically viable alternative to traditional sources of protein. This special issue welcomes research on improvements to cellular agriculture protocols to maximize sustainable protein production.

Inglês
Em uma visita a um museu de arte indígena, um estudante observou uma obra seguida de uma placa explicativa:
In some indigenous cultures, headdresses represent Native peoples’ right to govern themselves according to their own laws. The materials they are constructed with can vary greatly, including wood, iron, feathers, and ivory. Rather than using gridded designs (symbols of spiritual beliefs) or putting birds or mammals at center stage, as several others do, horns were attached to this headdress, an emblem of power reserved for those “whose exceeding worth and power is admitted by all the nation”.

World’s happiest ranking goes to
Finland for fifth year in a row
People enjoy sunny weather on the waterfront in Helsinki.
Finland was crowned the happiest country in the world for
the fifth consecutive year, with a score significantly ahead of its
peers in the World Happiness Report 2022 ranking, published
by a body linked to the United Nations. However, the authors
detected, on average, a long-term moderate upward trend in
stress, worry, and sadness in most countries, as well as “a
slight long-term decline in the enjoyment of life,” they wrote.
The report uses global survey data to report on how
people evaluate their own lives in more than 150 countries
around the world, with the ranking based on a three-year
average. Key variables that contribute to explaining people’s
life evaluations include healthy life expectancy, generosity,
social support, freedom to make life choices, perceptions of
corruption, and the gross domestic product per capita (an
indicator that measures a country’s economic output per
person, that is calculated by dividing the total gross domestic
product of a country by its population).
“World leaders should take heed,” Jeffrey Sachs, director
of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia
University, said. “Politics should be directed as the great
sages long ago insisted: to the well-being of the people, not
the power of the rulers.”

In March 2022, parts of Antarctica have been 40 ºC
warmer than their March average
The Concordia research station is one of the most
inhospitable places on Earth. At 3,000m above sea level on
the Antarctic Plateau, the temperature rarely rises above
-25 ºC even in the summer. In midwinter it can fall to around
-80 ºC. The air is painfully dry, and fingers, toes and noses
can freeze in minutes. The dozen or so crew, mainly French
and Italian, who live and work in the station would normally
venture out only for essential work. But Concordia has recently
experienced a heatwave. On March 18th the temperature
reached a high of -11.8 ºC — more than 40 ºC warmer than
the average for this time of year.
Similarly freakish weather was recorded across eastern
Antarctica. Temperatures at the Russian-run Vostok
research station rose to -17.7 ºC, more than 15 ºC above the
previous record for March, set in 1967. Across the continent
temperatures were 4.5 ºC higher than usual (though in recent
days they have returned to a normal range).
Meteorologists have attributed the latest heatwave to
an atmospheric “river” of warm, damp air blowing towards
Antarctica from the Southern Ocean near Australia. It is
difficult to know whether climate change is to blame for
one-off weather events. But over the past 65 years or
so there has been an increase in the number of “high
temperature” days at Antarctic stations.
Most regions of Antarctica have been spared global
warming. In the late 20th century, a large hole opened
up in the ozone layer above the South Pole. This has a
regional cooling effect, which has offset much of the heating
caused by rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. Temperatures on the continent rarely climb
above freezing, which preserves its vast ice sheets (although
rising sea temperatures do threaten some areas). Even in
the recent surge, temperatures stayed well below zero.

London: Viking Penguin, 2011.
Consider the following propositions for rephrasing the sentence Melodramatic novels named after
female protagonists became unlikely bestsellers (l. 52-54).
I - Overemotional books with titles inspired by their heroines became unexpected bestsellers.
II - Melodramatic soap operas titled later than their female characters became surprising bestsellers.
III- Sensational stories with feminine characters more relevant than the titles became dislikable bestsellers.
If applied to the text, which ones would be correct and keep the literal meaning?
