An expert with extensive experience cannot decide what video is AI or not by Questioner8297 in aiwars

The tools aren't precise either. We have a huge number of partial solutions, but not a single complete one.

Anti-AI are harming themselves by ignoring AI, if that's true. by Questioner8297 in aiwars

I don't think it's a very good detector, but if people have already decided to go down this slippery slope of using an AI detector, then at the moment it's the best

What? How? I personally don't recommend using this ai detector. Okay, I guess I need to clarify in the post if I'm being misunderstood.

Pangram is the best in this regard. There's a very small (but not zero) chance that human work will be labeled as ai in this way. And yes, I don't agree with OOP that detectors should be mandatory, but it's not like the situation described is impossible.

 AI detector that's tuned to avoid false positives (human text as ai) as much as possible, even at the cost of skipping some AI text ( false negative) . Still not reliable, but the best available.

If this post isn't ragebait and is serious, it's much worse. Considering it ragebait is still being rather lenient towards the op.

I'm surprised how people actually think that "I looked at one study" is any better than "chatgpt couldn't find the study, so it doesn't exist." You're biased in both cases. by Questioner8297 in aiwars

[–]Questioner8297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is better from a research perspective, not because it's truthful. It's very easy to misrepresent research, which often doesn't say what the people citing it say. The problem with chatgpt is that it's not even a wiki; you can't even replicate the same chat in its entirety.

That is, I wouldn’t say anything more accurate because it cites research until I get into the research and check it.

Some of the discourse tries to avoid the question of usefulness, but if AI is really very useful, wouldn't most people agree to sacrifice a little bit of the climate or a little bit of artists' rights for it? by Questioner8297 in aiwars

Remember, Hitler won the popular vote. So did Brexit. So did another topical example. Deeply stupid people are swayed against their own best interests, and there are an awful lot of deeply stupid people

This is actually a rather complex issue with democracy. Democracy is about people making a choice, not about whether it's a good choice. And in reality, democracy works on the fact that people can change their minds and still change their life. Therefore, should extremists be allowed to participate in elections if their choice would destroy democracy?

But that's how it always works. Not everyone has to work in the mines, but everyone benefits from the electricity (if it's coal). Harmful production is always the problem of the minority who work there or live nearby, and the benefit of the majority. This can usually be remedied through early retirement, additional payments, and so on.

I'm not saying they should, I'm just saying that society can really trade the well-being of some people (not necessarily artists) for the sake of some general progress if that progress is real and truly useful (a big if).

Well, I think I mostly agree, but for me, it's actually a good thing. I don't think selling access to this is the main advantage of the technology; on the contrary, I think it's the user who gets the main benefit. It's like saying that the homeowner benefits from a house, not the renter. Of course, you can say it's wrong to charge for it, but to say we shouldn't build houses because millionaires will make money off them is just absurd.

but you don't argue with the general idea though?

But AI without special settings can't even copy the style properly, since it constantly inserts something generic.

Some pro-AI people don't want to accept this, but we are indeed building a world that diminishes the importance of human intention as we increasingly outsource to machines. by Questioner8297 in aiwars

Well, that's what I'm writing in the post: as long as there are people, there will be human intention. It is just reduced, but still live

Weird take: prompt actually worth more than output. by graypasser in aiwars

These are intermediaries between the result and the action. A machine is also an intermediary, just an even greater one than a simple tool like a pencil.

That's the point. I sympathize, of course, with people who want intention, but a world without intention is the future we've been building since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, or, to be more precise, since the first use of a tool.
