Of all the places spreadsheet is probably the one place you don’t want AI generated content. Half the time it’s financial info so sorta correct simply isn’t good enough
Is there any reason to think the situation has substantially improved since then?
The amount of 90% sensible, 10% ridiculously wrong computer generated crap we’re about to send into real humans’ brains makes my head spin. There’s truly an awful AI Winter ahead and it consists of spending a substantial amount of your best brain cycles on figuring out whether a real person wrote that thing to you (and it’s worth figuring out what they meant in case of some weird wording) or it was a computer generat…

What happens if you try to ask GPT-3 whether something was written by GPT-3?
From one of the replies: “This is awesome. I also love how 20% of the zip codes are wrong. Messy AI future seems really fun and chaotic.”
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It depends on how people use the tools. For example the thank you note one -- if someone just prints off the output of this and sends it, yeah, that's bad. But if someone uses this to do 90% of the work and then just edits it to make it personal and sound like themselves, then it's just a great time saving tool. I mean, in this exact example, 70 years ago you'd have to hand address each thank you card by hand from sc…
> But if someone uses this to do 90% of the work and then just edits it to make it personal and sound like themselves, then it's just a great time saving tool. This is still way too optimistic. Reading through something that's "almost right", seeing the errors when you already basically know what it says / what it's meant to say, and fixing them, is hard. People won't do it well, and so even in this scenario we often…
Doesn't seem like a stretch to have similar mini-models to improve known deficiencies in larger general models in the textual space.

Idea: Use GPT-3 to identify GPT-3-generated snippets.

But if you allow some false negatives, such as trying to detect if a bot is a bot, I think that could work? But I feel like the technology to write fake text is inevitably going to outpace the ability to detect it.

> The amount of 90% sensible, 10% ridiculously wrong computer generated crap we’re about to send Agreed. Sooner or later a company is going to do this with its customers, in ways that are fine 95% of the time but cause outrage or even harm on outliers. And if that company is anyone like Google, it'll be almost impossible for the customers to speak to a human to rectify things.
Also when this is normal and ubiquitous come people who are playing it and AI will be just dumb to recognise, the real humans all fired, game over, stuck at shitty systems and everyone goes crazy.
