TIL that Kenyan workers have been used so much to train AI systems, that standard writing by Kenyan people is often flagged as AI generated while it is not (which means that they can get discriminated for jobs / exams etc)

Edit: many people raised below that the article is talking about texts written in very classically trained English detected as AI generated, which is the case for many Kenyans. It is documented that many Kenyan workers have been hired to train LLMs, but I made an assumption that it was the reason for this detection while it may not be. Sorry about that, thanks for the feedback (and feel free to continue the discussion here)

I'm Kenyan. I Don't Write Like ChatGPT. ChatGPT Writes Like Me.

I'm calm. I'm calm. I promise.

this man's mind

@tek Kenyan workers, anyone who reads a lot of fantasy or sci-fi, or pretty much anyone who had to learn English as a second (or third, or fourth, whatever) language. These folks are all likely to have an above-average vocabulary.

It's galling that a moronic minority of nAtIvE sPeAkeRs is levelling these silly accusations.
