‘Soon publishers won’t stand a chance’: literary world in struggle to detect AI-written books | Panagiotis Gioannis

“Hence the cold shiver: if an author is determined to use AI, then cover their tracks, there’s very little we can do.”   “I don’t want to call AI detection tools a scam, but it’s a technology that simply doesn’t work…AI is a learning system continually upgraded by its manufacturers. If there was a detection technology that worked, then people would simply build better AI tools to fool it,” Patrick Juola.   “AI learns very quickly how to avoid AI detection. We’re not quite there yet, but soon publishers won’t stand a chance,” Mor Naama.   “Sophisticated authors who want to evade the detection tools know how to edit their text, test it against these tools and revise again,” Nikhil Garg.   “If all this is true, the obvious question is: why does it matter if AI writes our books?”   “For Mor Naamen, the reason it matters is cultural: AI may flood the page, but it cannot replace the messy, difficult work of being human – the very work that literature exists to reflect back at its readers.”     So, little by little, we are all beginning to understand that it is not a matter of AI regarding the unwise use. This has already started in academia, initially for a good cause, and unfortunately it is spreading and continuing in the wrong direction.   We need to focus on deeper causes, starting from its birthplace, if we want to find solutions: https://lnkd.in/gWtgK9ju [How we drive ΑΙ against Science]
