Slop detectives be like rule
So the AI thinks this human-made text is actually AI-made and offers an AI tool that’ll turn this human-made text into an AI-made text that’ll appear more human than the human-made text? I wonder how it’d rewrite this paragraph.
Sometimes it feels like the formal texts I write (like anything I write in the context of a job application) sound a bit like AI, but I just try to immitate the dumb way HR people write their job postings.
tools like these are used to reject CVs and grade school papers btw
no matter how much ai is trash do NOT use ai checkers, they do not work
Pangram does work, actually. Here’s independent validation by unaffiliated scientists:
Although white papers are biased, here’s pangram’s white paper:
That’s still 2 out of 1000 which if you’re using this at scale is not a great rate.
Would also be curious how that’s calculated if that’s done whit their test data that they’ve iterated on heavily or with actual feedback (which may never get back to them)
I don’t buy it. Not until I can test it, hands on.
So many LLM papers have amazing (and replicated) results in testing, yet fall apart in the real world outside of the same lab tests everyone uses. Research is overfit to hell.
And that’s giving them the benefit on the doubt; assuming they didn’t train on the test set in one form or another. Like how Llama 4 technically aced LM Arena because they finetuned it to.
Yep, they’re all trash and should not be relied upon.
I got anywhere from 35% to 70% AI generated results on a book I wrote in 2019, before AI was even released.
It isn’t saying “I recognize this text”, it is saying “this text is AI generated”.
And then it’s offering a service to rewrite it, with ai, so that it can’t be recognized as ai.
It’s doing SOMETHING, for sure. I just don’t think what it’s doing results in accurate results for what it claims to measure.
Frankenstein is out of copyright.
I would be unsurprised if you couldn’t tease out the entire book. I wonder if Mary Shelly was a fan of dashes.
It is an it ist. Those lawsuits mean they at least try to stop it from producing copyrighted work. They won’t make Simpsons characters or produce anything from the house of mouse without major cajoling or some trickery in the prompt.
For the text from Frankenstein they are not even going to try.
Incidentally after writing this content I tried to get chatgpt to reproduce the first paragraph of chapter 3. It refused and offered a summary. I “reminded” it that the book is in the public domain and then it reproduced it without issue.
They still obviously trained it on the copyrighted text. Which I think is what some claim is illegal without payment?
Mind you, I don’t think copyright should cover that, for text at least. It is not in society’s interest.
