Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

Obviously, the inclusion of Marxism is a decent test, but I have taken samples of things I have written years ago and submitted them to see what it would say about my writing.

It says a high probability of my writing was done by AI, because I do use emdashes, oxford commas, and other such punctuation.

We can't trust anything checking to see if something was written by AI, any more than we can trust something written by AI.

Is proofreading a lost art?

Curious why you're only posting the archived version? This article is not paywalled...

Damn it sucks that the system that says you need a diploma to not be an impoverished slave your whole life encourages people to get the diploma but not to care how they get it.
