I bet AI detection is going to get a lot better over time.

I doubt it. ChatGPT 3.5 is good enough to rewrite small snippets of text with better phrasing, ChatGPT 4.0 can write a paragraph if given enough support. Good enough as in "the output is indistinguishable from what a human would have written.

Of course you can do even more with the currently available tools - and get found out.

There is a way to make AI generated text detectable: by slightly pushing the output towards a consistent pattern a detector can reliably judge long pieces of text as AI generated.
Imagine if the AI is biased towards consecutive words starting with consecutive letters of the alphabet (e.g. "a blue car" instead of "a navy vehicle".). Not strongly biased, but enough so that when there are 1000 words you can look at the probability of consecutive words starting with consecutive letters of the alphabet and get a clear result.

There are two problems though: this only works with proprietary systems and only with long texts.

I have compact view. I tap on a thumbnail to make the image "full screen". In short succession I tap on the screen once, then touch and drag, which zooms the image.

Since I have it set to dismiss/leave "full screen" via of images by swiping the image up or down I need the tap before dragging to zoom into the image.

It still works the same.

I don't understand the "that's no how PDFs work" criticism.

Removing data from the original file is the whole point of the exercise! Of course unique tokens can be hidden in plain sight in images, letter spacing, etc. If we want to make sure to remove that we need to degrade the quality of the PDF so that this information is lost in said lossy conversion.

So close and yet so far

It's funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.

Idealism in all honor, but you're not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.

As though badges grow on trees

True, if there is no police it's not like cops just appear.

The mafia does.

Interesting that there is a fine difference between humanitarian aid and humanitarian assistance. I doubt many journalist are this strict about their wording, but good to know nonetheless.

Social welfare provides the exact same things (housing, food, medicine) but instead of some disaster zone somewhere it's for disadvantaged citizens in your own country. Of course, the logistics are massively different, as well as the timeframe during which the services are provided. But it's still basically the same thing: help other humans with fundamental necessities.

So I would disagree with your claim that it "isn't the same thing at all". It differs in some details, but the central service and fundamental reasoning is the same.

Additionally, this is total military spending vs foreign humanitarian support. So giving food to children in Gaza counts, but feeding the homeless in your own country does not.

I still agree with the conclusion, but the headline is kinda rage bait.

Actually, apple varieties are preserved via grafting. If you take an apple seed, the tree that will grow from it only has 50% of the DNA of the tree that made the apple. So there is absolutely no guarantee that the taste was preserved across generations.

Bro,we have an international standard for this. To count things you need to use the unit of mole. This town has 9.96323e-21 mol of people in it.
