Is there an extension that warns you when you are wasting time reading ai-generated crap?

Case in point, I was reading an article that claimed to compare kubernetes distros and wasted some good minutes before realizing it was full of crap.

Most of the internet was already BS before 'working' LLMs, where do you think the models learned it from? I think what you want is a crap detector, and I'm with you. Any ideas good ideas and I'll donate my time to work on it.

For me it's uBlacklist with my personal list in front and some github page I found after.

FYI Kagi has an integrated Blocker/Upranker/Downranker similar to this. Under their stats page you can see, which domains have been blockes/raised/... the most.

The most hated one by far: Pinterest and all locale-specific sub-domains.

That's only for google though.

That's the reason why ai search engines like bing are so bad, it's based on top results that are the same crap.

I think at some point we will have to introduce human confirmation from creator side.

I don't mind someone using chatgpt as a tool to write better articles, but most of internet is sensles bs.

Unfortunately, even OpenAI themselves took down their AI detection tool because it was too inaccurate. It's really, REALLY hard to detect AI writing with current technology, so any such addon would probably need to use a master list of articles that are manually flagged by human.

If you could detect AI authored stuff, couldn't you use that to train your LLM?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It could be used to create a reward model like what is done right now with RLHF.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That said, it should actually be possible to make a bullshit detector that detects bullshit writing.

I literally just saw this pop up in my Mastodon feed a few minutes ago, funny enough. I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, but I would imagine that's something akin to what you're looking for.

You cannot use AI to detect AI. That would defeat the entire purpose.

It's not possible to create 100% reliable ML-generated content detection

[-] JohnDClay 7 points 9 months ago

I don't even know of any that are 75% reliable. It's a really hard problem.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

wasn't openai's ai detector like 25% accurate? at that point its just random chance mostly

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Marxist-Leninists cant reliably detect content D:

I dunno how to follow this in lemmy...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

you can't follow it but you can save it with the star icon and come back to it later.

You can use the remind me bot

@[email protected] 5 hours

Or whatever timeframe you prefer

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Note the remindme bot uses an allowlist and this community isnt in it, youd have to get your community mods to request it gets added in the repository if you want to use it here

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Why does it use an allowlist? Seems like its fine to just run across lemmy since it only appears when summoned.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Bot guidelines for some of the major instances dont allow bot posting unless its been approved by a mod. Also makes more sense for mods to choose what bots to allow in their community rather than response bots being fully allowed everywhere since that can easily get out of hand if a bunch get made
