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.‘

Interesting post, would be good to support the author/publisher with a source link. Especially since it isn't pay walled.

Great story with predictable results. Welcome to your AI future where people give their thinking over to machines made by sociopaths.

I’d just fail every kid that obviously used ai. You’re just gonna waste both of our time with this shit I may as well waste your money. Like what are you even doing here?

The point of education is to learn something. I think "using AI to generate complex ideas will prove you don't know what you're talking about to anyone that does" and "if your use of AI is suspicious, you're better off blaming AI than dying on that hill defending it" are decent lessons. One can hope that shame would be a course correction to a successful education.

I am gonna be honest: That's the best article I have read in quite some time. I can 100% agree with everything the author says.

You just know there is a guy in class who just wrote the essay from Marxist perspective because he does everything from a Marxist perspective.

Whatever happened to the tests which you have to sit and do to prove you know the thing you’re writing about?

OP can you please post the actual link too and not just the archive so you don't spam the archiver?

Also, it looks like it's already been taken down. archive.today is less likely to respond to takedown requests
