anything put out by chat gpt is pretty formulaic.
Yes, strangely it still feels that way even if you try to get it to change it's style. That's why I use the term 'averaging'. It feels like it takes a bunch of personalities and distills them down into one generic person who is doing impersonations of other personalities. Like a bad actor or something.
That isn't always going to be the case though
God, I know. When AGI arrives we are in trouble.
I have started down voting the comments where it is obvious they used AI.
This one really bugs me the most. It is easiest to spot because it is usually a summary of your post spewed back at you in some poetic fashion. And then you go to that Hive user's blog and they clearly cannot form a proper sentence in English. Of course I don't have anything against someone not speaking English properly, in fact I would rather get a broken English comment from a real person than that garbage.
Yeah, I totally agree with that about getting a broken english comment than something that is generated by AI. What I have found is that AI seems to not stray too far from the standard, intro/main point/body/summarize main point format. Which makes it pretty obvious because most people don't naturally write like that unless it is an academic paper. Which can cause issues. For example, I had a parent approach me at our last school board meeting because one of her daughters college professors is refusing to grade her work because he thinks she used AI to complete it. She could just be a really good writer who follows that standard tried and true format and now "Turn it in" or whatever tool they are using is flagging it. I have a feeling if I wanted to, it likely wouldn't be too hard to write something that fools software into thinking AI wrote it.
Oh wow.. I didn't even think about how this must be affecting students. Man, that sucks. @afturner had a teacher once when she was on an art program at University who was trying to get her expelled because he kept assigning her to do life drawing and he sure that she was tracing Michelangelo works and turning them in.
He kept failing her artwork and getting angry with her. Finally she took her shoe off and said "Look, it's my own foot!"
After looking back and forth from her foot to the painting, he was so embarrassed and ashamed. He wasn't very good himself and just couldn't believe that he had a highly gifted student.
That's crazy! Good for her for standing up to him. I'm not sure what this kid is going to do. We have been having a lot of discussion in education around AI lately. It's one of the hot topics at a lot of the conferences. Teachers are mostly split. Districts are trying to figure out if they should block it or allow it. It's kind of the wild west right now.
Well, it is kind of like Bitcoin. If your country blocks it, the rest of the world keeps using it and your country gets left behind. It is a rock and a hard place situation. I don't think AI is going away.
I agree with you.
