A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Oh man - right after I posted this, I got the DM others have reported from the Polish tech chick from Toronto, with links to her cool videos. I passed her message to this extension but it says it looks like Human text. Oh well.
I read about this DM. What's the purpose of those messages?
After replying to this, I got that message for a second time except its missing the stumblechat link.
Given the bot is using a single message for everyone, it could have been written by an actual human.
That makes sense
AI detector can't detect AI. Is anyone surprised by this anymore?
There's an entire category of machine learning dedicated to having two AIs "fight" against each other. One generates something while the other classifies it as either AI generated or genuine.
Anyway, this is a complete tangent. Just thought it was interesting. AI detector tools for LLMs aren't usually very accurate, unfortunately.
Like others said: That is probably just "normal" spam
But also? This is the same logic as "AI can't draw hands" and all the other gotchas. We are in an arms race and have been for decades. Captchas have always been about "bots" and have increasingly been defeated by various forms of computer vision which are the basis for how a lot of "AI" works. And we are in the same place now.
I just think its almost impossible to detect AI, same way you are talking about how it is almost impossible to build a captcha that is both useful and bot proof.
The internet version of “the intelligence of the dumbest humans and the smartest bears overlaps significantly” trash can problem?
Doubly so now that students are beginning to authentically write like ChatGPT since they spend so much time chatting it up.
Exactly what I was thinking lol
