I see no reason why “post right wing propaganda” and "write so you don’t sound like “AI” " should be conflicting goals.

The actual argument why I don’t find such results credible is that the “creator” is trained to sound like humans, so the “detector” has to be trained to find stuff that does not sound like humans. This means, both basically have to solve the same task: Decide if something sounds like a human.

To be able to find the “AI” content, the “detector” would have to be better at deciding what sounds like a human than the “creator”. So for the results to have any kind of accuracy, you’re already banking on the “detector” company having more processing power / better training data / more money than, say, OpenAI or google.

But also, if the “detector” was better at the job, it could be used as a better “creator” itself. Then, how would we distinguish the content it created?

If you could reliably detect “AI” using an “AI” you could also use an “AI” to make posts that the other “AI” couldn’t detect.

It annoys me to no end whenever MS word does that.

I thought the exact same thing and we should all endeavor to use 4616250 as a meme.

It’s an acquired taste. As a kid you might just want to look cool drinking beer. By the time that passes (if it does), the bitterness doesn’t taste quite as bitter anymore, and other tastes come through. Same for spirits and the burning sensation.

any cognitive Task. Not “9 out of the 10 you were able to think of right now”.

A friend hosted one when we were 17 or 18. He was from the USA and had never had beer before. One of these nights he hid under a parking car when he saw a police car approaching. Fun times.

I’m sure he meant that Willy Brandt’s memoirs were a better read.

Right?

Same here, but I did occasionally get a similar full screen reminding me of that fact and urging me to buy a new PC. I installed Mint instead.

People keep saying “Linux is user friendly enough these days for even non techy people” and I’m sorry but it’s totally Not.

I guess people who say that think of the average non techy user as someone like me: I don’t really know how this works under the hood, but I do troubleshoot my own stuff, am willing and able to search for help and apply advice on my own, try different things, and hopefully realize when that advice starts to sound fishy.

The thing is, that’s not the average non-techy user. That’s already “dabbling in tech”.

The average non techy user is Homer going “oh, a talking moose on the Internet wants my credit card number? Sounds fair.”

The same is true for windows though. I have to help my dad with some minor thing at least once a month.

Often, they’ve forgotten the fucking password, if you’ve made it so they don’t have to put a password in when they log in

The second my father asks me about this is when I revoke his computer privileges.

Become unavailable on non-private messengers. Explain your reasons if asked, but stay stubborn. (And yes, it will turn out that a subset of people you know don’t give a shit about staying in contact with you.)

It’s not useless. It will enable MS to build the walled garden they want, where you are forced to use the software they permit you to and nothing else.

We are the Borg.

That doesn’t mean all fact checks are bullshit, just that fact checkers are people with jobs and opinions too.

Possibly. But some people really need it spelled out.

No violence

No stealing

No billionaires

There are other types of value, of course. It’s just funny to specifically call the apple out for being a myth. The entire story is a myth, so they could have made it a pomelo for all I care.
