there is so much terribleness in this, but it jumped out at me that the scammers who use AI to craft all those shitty emails are frustrated that their emails don't sound human enough and aren't fooling people 😂

I live to make these people even more frustrated

Your AI Use Is Breaking My Brain

AI writing is impossible to avoid, is making everything sound the same, and is driving us crazy.

Also: don't use AI "detectors"

We reject AI because someone has outsourced their thinking and their responsibility for that brain work to the machine

but if you "use AI to detect AI" you are DOING THE THING... you're outsourcing your thinking/responsibility TO THE MACHINE

Don't do that.

Be a human that rejects AI

It is not your responsibility to detect all AI. Your anti-AI moral stance is not compromised by someone else getting human-glossed AI past you.

The rejection is the work.

Make AI socially unacceptable and put the penalty for use back where it belongs, on the users.

@susankayequinn meh. The penalty also belongs on greedy investors and bosses.

We have around ten outstanding academic referrals from this semester, all of them based on hallucinated citations. LLM's are cheating machines, that's all.

@susankayequinn I straight up tell family / coworkers that I'm not going to read their AI slop. If you didn't bother to write it, I'm not going to bother to read it.

The only reason to give AI-generated anything your time/attention is to explain in detail to people how the thing they submitted is bad and they should be embarrassed their name is attached to it.

True but too late, the AI-wars have already begun.

Show threadSue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱1d ago

@verymetalsite idk what you mean by "too late" people are still using the AI detectors (lots of people), this warning is targeted to them

AI corps have been waging war on us for 3 years and their methods continue to evolve, educating people about that is an important part of fighting back

@susankayequinn

I'm sowwy it's too late, not fatalistic but 'we' should've made 'our' privacy point a lot stronger twenty years ago.

At some point it became alright for everyone to just toss their entire lives on Google, commercial entities became keepers of government and education departments.

At this point education itself is being poisoned by AI, that's why i downloaded Kiwix to download the entire Wikipedia database (120Gb) before that comes polluted, too.

@verymetalsite I've downloaded wiki too but it's never too late to change things and yeah "too late" is fatalistic, but ok

@susankayequinn Thanks for sharing this. The link to the article by the Kenyan writer really resonated with me. One of the (many!) terrible things about AI is that it’s made us suspicious of human writing that “sounds like” AI, when it was AI that was trained on that kind of human writing in the first place. I’ve been using em dashes since long before AI did, and you’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands.
