Those detector sites are really evil. They simply do not work. They can't work. But they are advertising and people are using them to "check" texts. Which then totally fucks students when their idiotic teacher uses such a site and accuses them of using AI tools.
I was having a conversation with someone here who claimed to be a professor (I believe it) and went on and on about how they are a subject matter expert and that AI detection actually works really well these days. I told him I felt bad for his students and he had a full blown insult laden meltdown at me then deleted everything.
I just feel bad for those students.
I wonder if everything uploaded to them gets used as LLM training data
i worry about this. all my writing in grad school, likely fed to a machine.
I had to let out a depressed chuckle when someone referred to Pangram as "industry standard". ...just because that particular service had been the centre of the Shy Girl controversy and they had dragged themselves to the limelight again when another novel got accused of AI use.
The Shy Girl controversy is a doozy. People raised their eyebrows and thought the novel was written with AI. Pangram CEO elbowed his way to the limelight and proved, using his fine AI product, that this novel is [insert some absurdly specific high percentage] AI. The author was like "Well I handed my novel to someone else, and they used AI to copyedit the book!" The publisher was like "So you used someone else afterall, after declaring you were the sole author? Consider the publishing agreement revoked." People were like "Due to AI use, right? 😀 Due to AI use, right? 😕" The publisher was like "...No, we have a few AI projects cooking."
