@ct_bergstrom It turns out that those citations are ENTIRELY MADE UP.
Even though one would expect that the ACLU and Wired would've written about the NSA's collection practices, as far as I can tell, those articles never existed; nor did the Times or Smithsonian articles on Clever Hans even though it would've been natural to see such a piece in their pages.
Even the URLs are constructed to look plausible. But they're total fictions. I think.
Very creepy construction of fake knowledge.
Playing around with #OpenAI's #GPT3 text generator led me to perhaps the creepiest behavior yet. As @ct_bergstrom noted, the AI bots are able to cite the sources of their own writing.
I decided to see if it could function as a plagiarism detector. But when I put a few snippets of my own writing in, it found several uncited sources. (Attached.)
Aha! Someone must have plagiarized me! Or so I thought. But the truth was much stranger....
I wrote a blog post for Duolingo about bilingualism and how your brain switches between languages:
