People haven't been paying attention to the issue of the detection of AI outputs, this is really important. If we can't accurately detect AI use, then how will any human-only requirement be met in all walks of life? Academia, copyright, etc.
OpenAI quietly shut down their AI classifier As I mentioned before, this product is not feasible or possible to create - with skilled operators GPT’s output cannot be distinguished from human output, and in many cases is better than the human output alone

Be a Dolly!
Dolly Parton has never been in a cage fight, but she *has* gifted over 200 million books to children through her Imagination Library. In a world full of Zuckerbergs and Musks, be a Dolly.

Ath:
Það má skipta rannsóknaraðferðum í félagsv. í annað hvort megindlegar og hins vegar eigindlegar. Algeng leið í eigindlegum er að taka nokkur ítarleg viðtöl með það markmið að öðlast innsýn í t.d. reynslu þeirra sem talað er við.

Það er svo grunsamlegt að Halldór Benjamín og Rick Ashley sjást aldrei a sama stað. Hérna er Ashley með hárblásara á pyramídasviðinu á Glastonbury í gær. Var HB þar? Þarf frekari vitnanna við eða er hægt að slá því föstu að her er um að ræða sama manninn? vm.tiktok.com/ZGJCE6pLq/

I have to admit, after they recast the role of the PM, I thought there would be less circus acts and more governing on this season of UK politics. thepinknews.com/2023/06/18/r…

🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨 Over months of reporting, @dinabass and I looked at thousands of images from @StableDiffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world. 🧵 1/13
