Yeah, you should have checked it before you ruined all those poor students' lives.

Also disproportionately inflicting false positives on neurodivergent students.

Usually you check this sort of thing before releasing it...

And once you release the LLM detector it becomes a training tool for LLMs and those creating them to fool the detector.

It is like the battle between google search and SEO tactics, except at hyperspeed.

[–] nxfsi@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Because all LLM outputs read like middle school homework essays regardless of context

AI writing detectors are so shit. One of my written assignments was flagged as being written by AI even though at the time of writting it, programs like ChatGPT was not even popular or mainstream.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep, I think there should be a revolution in regarding how teachers structure their assignment for their students. AI is here to stay, and the education system needs to find a way to coexist with AI. In order to survive, education system need to find a way to make AI usage like calculator usage when working with math problems.

Expect when you got teachers "Memorize all the formulas as it'll be on the test." and they don't provide the formulas even though in the real world, they just fucking look it up.

[–] Hardeehar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

There is a reason for doing it that way.

I remember complaining to my dad about this exact thing saying that people just look it up in real life. He told me that in the end, the grade that I get will only tell future employers that I am more or less "teachable" compared to others.

What you studied, specifically, didn't matter. It's how well you learned the material in a short period of time, then cranked out correct answers in a time-pressure situation.

If you can do that quickly, you get a better grade, which tells people that you are a better candidate for a position.

And an entire generation of students breathed a sigh of relief...

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago

They shouldn't, their profs are now going to use whatever random crappy website comes up first when they google "AI detector."

[–] ngdev@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I started an AI chat bot that was capable of sounding human, why wouldn't I make a crappy AI writing detection tool and then shut it down shortly afterward saying "my AI chat bot is too good! You can't detect it!"

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Don't forget wanting to introduce regulations for AI because it's "dangerous", but no not mine, mine is the good one.

[–] ssboomman@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Lol well that’s moderately terrifying

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I have only heard about this tools, but never used one for myself... Are there any other tools like this?
