Want to find out if the text you’re reading online was written by an real human or spat out by a large language model (LLM) trying to sound like one? Mozilla’s Fakespot Deepfake Detector Firefox add-on may can help give you an indication. Similar to online AI detector tools, the add-on can analyse text (of 32 words or more) to identify patterns, traits, and tells common in AI generated or manipulated text. It uses Mozilla’s proprietary ApolloDFT engine and a set of open-source detection models.

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.
