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.

@susankayequinn

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

@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
