Does it think it’s AI because it was trained on it so it recognizes it as being part of AI now?
Those detector sites are really evil. They simply do not work. They can’t work. But they are advertising and people are using them to “check” texts. Which then totally fucks students when their idiotic teacher uses such a site and accuses them of using AI tools.
I was having a conversation with someone here who claimed to be a professor (I believe it) and went on and on about how they are a subject matter expert and that AI detection actually works really well these days. I told him I felt bad for his students and he had a full blown insult laden meltdown at me then deleted everything.
I just feel bad for those students.
I wonder if everything uploaded to them gets used as LLM training data
I had to let out a depressed chuckle when someone referred to Pangram as “industry standard”. …just because that particular service had been the centre of the Shy Girl controversy and they had dragged themselves to the limelight again when another novel got accused of AI use.
The Shy Girl controversy is a doozy. People raised their eyebrows and thought the novel was written with AI. Pangram CEO elbowed his way to the limelight and proved, using his fine AI product, that this novel is [insert some absurdly specific high percentage] AI. The author was like “Well I handed my novel to someone else, and they used AI to copyedit the book!” The publisher was like “So you used someone else afterall, after declaring you were the sole author? Consider the publishing agreement revoked.” People were like “Due to AI use, right? 😀 Due to AI use, right? 😕” The publisher was like “…No, we have a few AI projects cooking.”
I realized my assignment went through an originality checker, which I guess is safer than calling it a plagiarism checker.
Still felt odd that it flagged a quote I used from the source book, in the section asking for a quotation. I would’ve thought it’d at least disregard things between quotation marks.
What’s even dumber is that it flagged a single instance of the word “the”, just the word not the sentence it was in. I don’t know why, but I guess that specific “the” was unoriginal.
You copied it from here didn’t you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The
Absolute disgusting levels of thievery
When I was in college all my papers were automatically submitted to TurnItIn when I uploaded them to the submission Dropbox. Every use of the singular word “the” was flagged as plagiarism. Every time.
Call me a dishonest copying cheater.
You just have to pray to the RNG, and hope your 100% honest, original, hard work, is not flagged by some stupid ass AI.
This is how much damage AI has done.
Btw the originality checker in my comment was also TurnItIn, so we’ve experienced the same thing.
If the tool disregards quotations, a clever student would wrap entire papers in white-colored quotation marks!
Intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein is the doctor. Wisdom is knowing that Shelley vibe coded the entire story.
Objectively Frankenstein is the monster and a terrible father.
To be fair, the monster was artificial and intelligent.
You don’t create a thriving breakfast cereal brand without top tier smarts
Or Smurfs.
Shit like this happens if you train your AI on every god damn fucking text on earth.
We’re using AI to determine what is AI, even though AI doesn’t know what AI is.
Perfectly reasonable, no careers will be destroyed, surely
Yeah, the AI based “AI detectors” are themselves slop.
It’s a 100% match on what the model was trained on.
AI is like: “i made this”
I’ve been commenting on the open, public internet in some form or fashion since the 1900s. These models have been trained to sound like me, not the other way around. Fortunately, the bullies at the back of the class who don’t pay attention have mostly caught on to this fact, after having it repeated to them hundreds of times. The other day I was thinking about it, and realized it’s been a bit since anybody’s accused me of using AI to write a comment. I think it’s because I stopped proofreading what I write. Leave in those mistakes and the assholes at the back of the room who don’t pay attention are too naive to think that machines can’t make mistakes, I guess.
What was the Internet like in 1900? IP over Avian Carriers?
No we didn’t have birds back then, they hadn’t evolved yet.
They still haven’t because birds aren’t real.
Is this it? My first Lemmy inside joke? I feel honored
If you meant “IP over Avian Carriers”, that is a joke everywhere with nerds. It was an inside joke within the IETF. Sorry to break that to you.
RFC 1149
ah so the truth is revealed. ai detectors dont really detect ai use, they detect the content they stole to train on.
Loved it when he met The AI Bride of Frankenstein.
The Al Bride of Frankenstein?
And this is the “unseen” loss of value. Can you imagine writing a book (by hand the old-fashioned way – maybe with just a text editor) and submitting it to publish and the publisher rejects it as “written by AI?”
This is absolutely the biggest source of anxiety I have right now as someone who has been writing a really heartfelt novel for over a decade. (Things got delayed due to… personal stuff. Also I started drinking beer like a proper author. It didn’t help, actually.)
Back when I started this, I had been publishing some short stories under CC licences. I guess that has to be an option once again (and as much as I hate it as an open source nerd, -NC might make an appearance.)
All the villagers of the data center got their pitchforks.
The monster was created by a vibe-surgeon.
