Important reminder that quantifying prevalence of #AMR at population level does not predict well the risk of #antibiotic resistance at individual patient level

Scientists warn and protect us from disease outbreaks, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, heatwaves, and much more. Bullying them, doxxing them, and harassing them off social media and public platforms will put *everyone* at more risk no matter what your politics.

Reminder that Republicans have chosen to wage war on teachers and librarians. We need teachers and librarians. They are people who are always underpaid, working for our children and our culture. How can attacking teachers and librarians be a good political strategy? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/01/hernando-county-ron-desantis-book-bans-democratic-governors/

Numerous sources claim that TurnItIn has a generative AI detector with something like 98% sensitivity and 99% specificity.

For example, the Washington Post, below.

This is completely implausible given that OpenAI themselves only claim to be able to achieve 26% sensitivity and 91% specificity.

So where does this wild claim come from? I think I've figured it out.

Analysis | We tested a new ChatGPT-detector for teachers. It flagged an innocent student.

Five high school students helped our tech columnist test a ChatGPT detector coming from Turnitin to 2.1 million teachers. It missed enough to get someone in trouble.
