Could anyone explain to me what the problem is with this? I thought I was fairly up to date on these things, but this was a surprise to me. I see the sibling comment getting downvoted but I promise I'm asking this in good faith, even i

"We are highly confident this text was AI generated" 96% AI generated according to gptzero. Which I wouldn't mind, honestly, if it had something useful, insightful, or original to say. In a way I'm glad it doesn't s

> A hundred years from now, thanks to the workings of the Inhuman Centipede, I’m known as a deservedly obscure dadaist prose stylist who thought it was cool to stop his books mid-sentence.

I just renovated an Ikea table from 1980-something. Actually found it in the catalog too. It's solid wood, so it'll probably last another 40 years at least.

I asked GPT about it: > You are using the newest model OpenAI offers to the public (GPT-4o). There is no “GPT-5” model accessible yet, despite the splashy headlines.

I put a chapter of a paper I wrote in 2016 into GPTZero and got the probability breakdown 90% AI, 10% human. I am 100% human, and I wrote it myself, so I guess I'm lucky that I didn't hand it in this year, or I could have gotten a

Just the other day one of my clients had a production critical server failing and we started restoring it from backups. Turns out some of the software running on it had some weird licensing checks tied to the hardware so it refused to start
