I estimated this post would eventually arrive, and is why I started writing a UserScript for this purpose a few days ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33906712 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33906712.
The community (for now) expects that questions asked by humans will be responded to by humans. While I do love playing with GPT and find its discourse surprisingly accurate, especially on technical subjects, I think its fair to establish some guidelines around its usage in a community like this. If such guidelines are not followed or not feasible to enforce, then it might be necessary to have mechanisms to detect and flag, or at least ask for verifcation when GPT detection indicates that comments are not written by a human, but presented as such.
Do however know that false positives in detection may occur, see this discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33930584#33931671 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33930584#33931671
This could mean we need better tools to detect, as it is trivial to hide the fact that text was GPT generated with text-davinci-003.
- pulvinar 4y agoI see a gray area here if using an AI as an assistant. Would it be a violation to run your own text through it before posting to clean it up? Or would it be required to have it add a typo? I expect an arms race developing with the checker.
- hxugufjfjf 4y agoNo. Nobody will claim AI generated the text if you use it to correct your grammar. Its not any worse than using autocorrect on your phone. I too expect an arms race here both in terms of detection nonetheless where at the moment, GPT is a mile ahead in that race.
