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.‘

Back in 2001 when I went to college they gave us a warning not to plagiarize reports and assignments. Saying they had sophisticated tools at their disposal and sites like cheat.com

Fun fact: at that time (and maybe still now since I checked a while ago) cheat.com was a porn site. So they were full of shit.

But AI detection is being really, really scary since the amount of false positives are staggering.

Is proofreading a lost art?

You can proofread all you want, but if you don't understand the assignment in the first place it's not going to help much.
