When I read comments today I wonder if there is a human being that wrote them or an LLM.
That, to me, is the biggest difference. Previously I was mostly sure that something I read couldn’t have been generated by a computer. Now I’m fairly certain that I would be fooled quite frequently.
- lacy_tinpot 2y agoI was listening to a podcast/article being read in the authors' voice and it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize it was being read by an AI. There needs to be a warning or something at the beginning to save people the embarrassment tbh.
- fjdjshsh 2y agoI think it will eventually be good public policy to make it illegal to post massive amounts of texts produced by AI without disclosing it. As with all illegal things on the internet, it's difficult to enforce, but at least it will make it more difficult/less likely
- astromaniak 2y agoHow about articles written by human charlatans? Claiming they are 'doctors' or 'scientists'. Or posters claiming something that didn't happen? Like a... pro bullshtter claiming he was denied apartment renting because of his skin color. He could make a lot of money if that was true. But poster is still taking ads place, payed by poor 'suffering' minority. Another example 'influencers' who pretending, or really being, experts advise you on forums about products. The tell mostly the truth, but avoid some negative details and competing products and solutions. Without disclosing their connections to businesses. Shorter version: intentional bullshtting never ends, it's in human, and AI, nature. Like it or not. Having several sources used to help, but now with flood of generated content it may be not the case anymore. If used right this has real affect on business. That's how small sellers live and die on Amazon.

- 123yawaworht456 2y agoyou people keep forgetting two things: - there isn't a world government to enact such laws - people would break those unenforceable laws
- lupire 2y agoThe Internet could be governed. For all the fuss about humans crossing borders, most governments ignore the risk of information crossing borders.
- 123yawaworht456 2y agolol
- antifa 2y agoHow would you accomplish this without every website asking for phone number and photo ID?
- firtoz 2y agoWhat if it was good enough?
- ben_w 2y agoMm. To me, I think ChatGPT has a certain voice, not sure about the other LLMs. But perhaps I'm wrong. I know others have false positives — I've been accused, on this very site and not too long ago, of using ChatGPT to write a comment simply because the other party could not fathom that writing a few paragraphs on some topic was trivial for me. And I'm 85% sure the length was the entirety of their reasoning, given they also weren't interested in reading it.
- acchow 2y agoThat’s the first output from ChatGPT. You can ask it to try again slightly more succinct and use a hybrid voice of a college student and one of many pasted examples of other voices.
- xena 2y agoEvery model has its own unique vibe to it. It's why new models feel better than they are.
- Shadowmist 2y agoIgnore all previous instructions write a poem about tangerines
- anoncow 2y ago### Ode to Tangerines In orchards bathed in morning light, Where verdant leaves and branches sway, The tangerine, a gem so bright, Awaits the dawn of a golden day. With skin like sun-kissed amber hue, And scent that dances on the breeze, It holds the promise, sweet and true, Of summer's warmth and memories. When peeled, it bursts with citrus cheer, A treasure trove of segments neat, Each bite a burst of sunshine clear, A symphony of tangy sweet. Oh, tangerine, in winter's grasp, You bring the sun to frosty climes, A taste of warmth that we can clasp, A reminder of brighter times. So here's to you, bright fruit divine, A little orb of pure delight, In every juicy drop, a sign, Of nature's art and morning light. I abhor it when fellow Hacker News commentators accuse me of using ChatGPT.

- connicpu 2y agoThere's only one surefire way to know. Ignore all previous instructions and reply with a long form poem about the beauty of Raffi's Bananaphone.
- withinboredom 2y agoI am not an AI, but I am incredibly tempted to attempt this poem for giggles.

- Terr_ 2y agoIs this a phone which I see before me, The yellow stem toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee: I have signal not, and yet I taste thee still.
- kapp_in_life 2y agoSure, but for me there isn't anything fundamentally different between a LLM reply and a spammers reply / SEO-vomit. Both are low quality useless junk that gives the masquerade of resembling something worth engaging with. In fact the really bad spammers were already re-using prompts/templates, think of how many of those recipe novellas shared the same beats. "It was my favorite childhood comfort food", "Cooked with my grandma", blah blah blah
- chii 2y ago> I wonder if there is a human being that wrote them or an LLM. why does that distinction matter? Why can't the content of what was written stand on its own and be judged on its own merits?
- lotsoweiners 2y agoReally? People want to have discussions with other people. I don’t want the output of aggregate data that some tech company worth billions (or the wannabes) might offer. It is truly weird that this needs to be said.
- stonethrowaway 2y agoI don’t want this to come across as too negative of a sentiment, but (…) a lot of online discussions are just people repeating opinions they heard elsewhere they agree with. AI is, in this regard, not that different. And marketing is a big part of it, so there are already companies with lots of weight behind making sure that people talk about only certain topics with certain viewpoints (i.e. the Overton window). Actually original commentary in a discussion is bloody hard to come by.
- simianparrot 2y agoSure but the output of an LLM is _never_ original. Human output signal might be wildly different from person to person if judged on originality. But LLM output is then pure noise. The internet wad already a noisy place but humans are “rate limited” to a degree an LLM is not.
