"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
"Why do they do this?" he asks. Because you don't fail them. Give them a big fat 0 on the assignment, no need to even tell them why.
Then if they beg nicely, let the flunked students do a make-up assignment in the classroom, in front of you, with a pencil and paper and their phones turned off.
Brother-in-law teaches AP English at a fancy high school. Assigned his favorite author whom he studied extensively in grad school. Kid turns in essay with fake quotes, obviously AI. BIL meets with student. Asks if they used LLM to write paper. “No.” “Ok I’ll give you 30 seconds to find any of these quotes in the book before I call your parents and give you a zero.” Tears flow. Parents called. F obtained. Boss teacher move.
One of the best techniques for catching llm use is interviewing, which is now an approved technique in my jurisdiction.
They often don't have any idea what it is they've included, and cannot explain it or offer any further detail.
This is a great example of how so-called AI is increasing the amount of work people have to do, not reducing it
This was my entire technique for when i was studying for a test. I would do the practice test, then read through whatever I got incorrect and had to be able to explain fully what the correct answer was, why, and what made the other answers wrong.
Made the tests a breeze and my oral exam later cake.
Because I could explain it. I knew what i was talking about.
Nice
Widespread interviewing as a practice would really set a tone right?
“Yeah guys you can always use ChatGPT in her class but you HAVE to read and learn all the original source material FIRST”
Teachers: hehehe yesss yess learnnnn children
(Pair with on-the-spot writing tests with some accommodation for, IDK, various scenarios… shy kids, English Language Learners (ESL), etc.)
Feel bad for the guy
The ChatGPT rhetorical style is distinctive enough that I can catch it, but not so distinctive to be worth passing along to an honor council. Even if I did, I’m not sure the marginal gains in the integrity of the class would be worth the hours spent litigating the issue.
Arguments to be made for spending time now to set a tone of course!

This is not the best format.
Thanks for this helpful feedback!
Giving this a try:
Tap for long thoughts
I posted in this format as a workaround. Or a middle ground for the exact interface or presentation style I find to be optimal.
The one which I personally enjoy the most. I really appreciate the fact that, in a world where I can only consume the smallest fraction of all human outputs out there, a screenshot lets me dive into the exact content and the exact format the original authors presented it in. Am I hooked? If so, I use my most valuable resource—my time—to engage further.
Apparently I definitely felt the hacky-ness of the format:
In fact, after posting, I began ideating essentially a browser extension that, if I managed to wireframe, I could present to aeharding (Alexander), the Voyager developer, and see if he could enhance the app to natively offer this feature. Or to an extension dev, or the Lemmy devs (though it’s resource intensive).
What feature? A toggle to enable first page / viewport screenshots of all linked articles; tap screenshot to open article.
The text preview seen at the top of my test screenshot does NOT do the article justice in my eyes, whereas the screenshot + link is almost everything I want. Lemmy is better for me like this but I’m ready to be convinced otherwise.
(I am cognizant of the fact screenshots are not the most accessible, which is why I pair them with alt text.)
May I ask for further feedback from you / your eight(+) upvoters on the specific negatives with my presentation / my idea?
[tap] Maybe…
I dislike the extra tap required to read the first handful of lines whereas y’all dislike the extra tap required to read the entire thing? 🤷♂️
Could be worse for some apps or if someone’s using RSS…
Oh and I should at least be marking that there’s more to read so folks don’t think the whole point is ONLY the screenshot.
Thank you Grimy!
Impression: That picture is useless compared to any of the actual points of the article. Also, it's a cropped picture.
I don't know what client you're using but this post is a mess.

Drat, various clients have disagreed about spoiler tags unfortunately 😕 but I thought we were past that!
Which are you using? These tags are compliant with web Lemmy I think:
Tap for spoiler
hidden content
How it looks:
Web - spoilers hidden
Web - spoiler (2/2) revealed
Voyager iOS - spoilers hidden
Voyager iOS - spoiler (2/2) revealed
Will share this with the dev of your app once I find out!
Edit: Never mind, I get it now. You weren't making spoilers in the post above, you were just showing screenshots of the results.
Neither of those work in Boost, which supposedly fixed spoiler tags in the latest release.
Looks like Boost expects "spoiler" after the colons?
Yep
Looks like Boost expects "spoiler" after the colons?
Yep
Ay by posting with a cropped photo then editing in the link, achieved:
So Voyager could just add an option for longer image previews that coexist with links and I’d be happy?!
Edit: full photo was too ugly before I cropped:
Best use case I've found for LLMs in writing is having it make fanfic type of stories with varying levels of fantasy. Since most people have the idea of what they want in their head and in the prompt, having it pointlessly embellish and fabricate details along the lines that have been prompted is perfect.
I stumbled across a sexy slash fic generator which I enjoy putting my wife and mine names into, themed around us watching TV and falling asleep on the couch . Never fails to deliver some hot garbage nonsense that I text her through the work day.
@inb4_found_the_vegan seductively picks up the remote with an eyebrow raised, "you ready for round two?" as she SLAMS the play button and another steamy episode of Jury Duty begins, (Wife) sensually snores in excitement.
Yeah exactly, for that level of stupid entertainment, LLMs are perfect suitable. There's little else I would really trust it for.
That sounds great. Link?
