A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Ragebait trash article

  1. Why not link the original source? Axios
  2. Apparently the "study" used this "AI detector"

All "AI detectors" are crap and this detector is no different.

But why? Well I just put the first 3 paragraphs of the GDPR into it and it said it was 100% AI generated.

One: the original Axios article requires you to log in.

Two: The researchers were aware of the limits of AI detectors, and tested the one they used. From the article:

We should also take the judgments of AI detectors with a grain of salt, since their reliability is up for question. In its own testing of Surfer’s accuracy, Graphite had the detector analyze a sample of AI-generated articles and another sample of human articles, finding that it labeled human-written articles as AI-made 4.2 percent of the time — a common problem with these tools — but only mistook AI-written articles as human 0.6 percent of the time.

And really, judging from the quality of search results these days, I would have expected a lot more than 50% of new online articles to be AI generated, so from that standpoint the article might be good news 😆

I can read the entire article without any login.

Anyway here's an archived version without authwall: https://archive.is/31K69
