Ah yes, the classic tale of #AI saving us from the horrors of human #code reviews—because nothing says "reliable" like a machine telling you where you messed up! 🤖🔍 Meanwhile, developers are still drowning in a sea of buzzwords and #jargon, pretending this isn't just another way to procrastinate. 🦄✨

Apropos of nothing more than I needed it today, I am reminding whoever else needs to hear it of one of my favourite #Welsh #proverbs

Deuparth gwaith yw ei ddechrau

Loosely translated into English it means

Two thirds of the work is starting it

Doug MacDowell spends 50 hours crafting a line graph 🎨📉, proving that with enough time and solitude, one can turn a simple data visualization into an epic saga of #procrastination and misplaced artistic ambition. 🤦‍♂️✨ Perhaps next time, he can tackle a pie chart in 100 hours or less! 🍰⏰

I need to do a slide deck and my laundry, so of course I’m choosing this moment to subscribe to Rosetta Stone and try out the app. (I ditched Duolingo after 10+ years because of the AI enshittification.) #ADHD #procrastination 🐿️

A year has 365 days. 📅✨

And I still spend at least 300 of them saying: “I’ll start tomorrow” 🤡💀

Oh look, it's another riveting piece of academic literature desperately trying to measure the un-measurable: how much #AI is meddling with our precious words. Because nothing says "cutting-edge research" like a deep dive into the mysterious art of text editing by our robo-overlords. 🤖📚 We eagerly await the next groundbreaking paper on quantifying the extent of #procrastination in #academia. 🙄✨

EditLens: Quantifying the Extent of AI Editing in Text

A significant proportion of queries to large language models ask them to edit user-provided text, rather than generate new text from scratch. While previous work focuses on detecting fully AI-generated text, we demonstrate that AI-edited text is distinguishable from human-written and AI-generated text. First, we propose using lightweight similarity metrics to quantify the magnitude of AI editing present in a text given the original human-written text and validate these metrics with human annotators. Using these similarity metrics as intermediate supervision, we then train EditLens, a regression model that predicts the amount of AI editing present within a text. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on both binary (F1=94.7%) and ternary (F1=90.4%) classification tasks in distinguishing human, AI, and mixed writing. Not only do we show that AI-edited text can be detected, but also that the degree of change made by AI to human writing can be detected, which has implications for authorship attribution, education, and policy. Finally, as a case study, we use our model to analyze the effects of AI-edits applied by Grammarly, a popular writing assistance tool. To encourage further research, we commit to publicly releasing our models and dataset.

We moved into this house on June 15, 2022. Today, three years and 331 days later, I finally got all the boxes unpacked in my office.

In unrelated news, we are having house guests this weekend.

#procrastination

When I first learnt SVG, it was for no useful reason. I did not really need it for the little web dev jobs that came my way, and it was a way to procrastinate on my studies. Now I find myself using it as a way to de-fog my brain (and also procrastinate to a degree).
