Turns out it's actually from Elden Ring but we're in a post-truth world anyway.

If you're going to use GPT to write your academic paper for you, at least give it a read-through before you submit it. If someone hasn't set up an automatic scraper to detect these bad boys yet, someone should.

If you're angry about companies crawling the net to steal your text/images and train their machines using it, this one's for you! I and everyone else hate Terms of Service, but as a counterpoint to the "we need an opt-out mechanism for data collection" argument: 85% of the top domains in the LAION2B-en dataset already opt out through their TOS.

(LAION is a series of datasets of images + captions that are used to train models.)

Thank god, one less tool for professors to use to accuse everyone of plagiarism.

Someone's been scraping reddit and posting AI-generated stories using threads, and the World of Warcraft sub took advantage of it in the best possible way. I'm actually shocked at the quality of the resulting article. It's next level Google poisoning.

If the student has taken any steps to disguise that it was AI, you're never going to detect it. You best bet is having read enough awful, verbose generative text output to get a feel for the garbage it outputs when asked to write essays.

While most instructors are going to be focused on whether it can successfully detect AI-written content, the true danger is detecting AI-generated content where there isn't any. In short, AI detectors look for predictable text. This is a problem because boring students writing boring essays on boring topics write predictable text.

As the old saying goes, "it is better that 10 AI-generated essays go free than that 1 human-generated essay be convicted."

I don't know what the best term for "fake stuff that pretends to be real" is. It isn't exactly mis/disinformation, I don't think... It's a little more capitalism-driven than policy- or public-opinion-driven.

We need user interface alignment instead of just model alignment.

Know this one got me an early lead in trivia the other day.
