How did they estimate whether an LLM was used to write the text or not? Did they do it by hand, or using a detector?

Since detectors are notorious for picking up ESL writers, or professionally written text as AI-Generated.

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago

They just asked a few people if they thought it was written by an LLM. /s

I mean, you can tell when something is written from ChatGPT, especially if the person isn't using it for editing, but is just asking it to write a complaint or request. It is likely they are only counting the most obvious, so the actual count is higher.

I don't know of any reason that the proportion of ESL writers would have started trending up in 2022.

If it's due to LLM is it "human written communication"?

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

Human-like written communication.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Written communication of humans, not by humans

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if it was fully AI generated its still human communication in a written format, at least until the AIs start writing to each other without a human intermediary.

I thought there was a social network that is completely filled with AI and no real humans.

Edit: found it https://socialai.co/

is that seriously a website whose sole function is telling you to go to the app store?

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, which is why I included a news article to get a sense of what it is.

Reddit had a subreddit dedicated to bots just posting to each other as well.

/r/subreddit_simulator, IIRC

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 19 hours ago

I think that one used simple Markov chains and was really entertaining for years.

I also remember there was a bot you could summon that would simulate a comment written by you, and it was funny to see those.

„signs of LLM writing” doesn’t mean that the whole thing was written by it.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Well if your books start talking back you should get help. The computer just started getting good (I remember Dr Sbaitso)

This is the top result on duck duck go for how tall does a soursop tree get:

Gee thanks, I'm cured.

Btw does any one know if Soursops have an aggressive root system?

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 15 hours ago

It sounds like you can opt for a seedling sized plant and you'll be fine!

That’s scary shit. Hopefully this can slow down some.

Who wants to be licked by an emo?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago

Don’t worry, I see you
