We wouldn't have to waste so much energy on AI detectors if computer scientists and programmers just stayed away from making them in the first place. Seems like AI is a complete and utter waste of time in terms of trying to make human life better. Another broken window for us to fix.

#12In some cases an AI will make a weird word choice. So do a lot of humans. Sometimes AIs are needlessly wordy. Um...so are a lot of humans. Rinse and repeat. AI detectors are useless. The AIs are training on human writing, so they write fundamentally like humans. How is this not obvious?
Precisely, it's a tech that aims to write the most average, most likely human text.

#14There was a reddit post about a college student being accused of using GPT because of the so-called AI detectors. I really think these educational institutions should be sued if possible.
who will sue? the students with their dreams crushed? you?

#15These AI detectors are hilariously bad, if you don't use them just for amusement, then you're using them wrong.

#16That's all we needed! They created systems that explicitly mimic the human writing, so now they want to detect people using that tool. In any way the AI system is always right and the human is wrong. It is a completely crazy system.

#17Startup idea: online text editor that logs every keystroke and blockchains a hash of all logs every day. If you're accused of AI use, you can pull up the whole painstaking writing process and prove it's real.
I suspect people think there is similar value in the constant screenshotting proposed my Microsoft

There's no doubt you can write a wrapper for an LLM that can realistically mimic the same process. Cat-and-mouse isn't the answer, here.

Here is one, where a college professor didn't even use an AI detector, but simply copied some text from a student's essay into ChatGPT and asked "Did you write this?" and ChatGPT answered "I generated that passage". And the professor just believed it.

You can't have a meaningful college course where the work being assessed is done by GPT.
