A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In fairness to the AI, human writers are far from infallible. Anyone remember the Cambodian midget fighting league?

I think a human might consider the meaning about what is being said whereas an LLM is only going to consider what token is the best one to use next. Humans might not be infallible, but they are presently better at detecting obvious BS that would slip undetected past an AI.

Maybe this is an opportunity we haven't considered. This is the chance to create a Turing CAPTCHA Test. We can't use Glorbo to do so, because it has been written, but perhaps it makes sense that there is a nonsensical code phrase people can use to identify AIs, both with markers intentionally added to LLM training models, buried in articles written by human authors, and a challenge/response which is never written down and only passed verbally through real human-human interactions.
