I like LLMs and use them daily, but I don't really like when people use them undisclosed for long-form prose writing.
- teiferer 15d agoMe neither, but just running around accusing random folks of things is not going to help. To the contrary. If a real author doing real work with a lot of effort risks being accused of things they didn't do and just dismissed, you'll get less of genuine content, not more.
- meowface 15d agoI will donate $100 to charity if I made a false accusation. (It's possible AI rewrote an article first written by a human here or whatever, but the point is that I can just tell this is mostly or entirely LLM output.)
- teiferer 15d ago> I will donate $100 to charity if I made a false accusation That's honorable but not how accusations work. There is a first level indirect effect of painting somebody in a light that damages the reputation of their work or their person which isn't reversed by a donation or a sorry or anything since retractions/corrections/apologies don't get the same public attention. And there is a broader effect of chilling what people do since they don't want to get falsely accused. I'd recommend keeping such suspicions to oneself unless there is unrefutable proof, and if there is, then please provide it.
- done_lurking 15d agoIt does help, if the accusation is true. The fact that false accusations result in less genuine content implies that true accusations result in less disingenuous content. For better or for worse, social consequences do affect people's behavior on average.
- teiferer 14d agoAll true. But question is whether the positive consequences outweigh the negative. That may be the case, but it may not be. I don't find it obvious and not considering this is careless.
- dwaltrip 15d agoThe first few sentences alone are pure Claudish slop (I didn’t read any further). The stench is unmistakable once you’ve looked at it enough. I’d also donate $100 if I’m wrong. I feel quite confident.
