Solution: Close the internet and go back to dead tree writing and publishing. That'll show 'em ;-)
Or we train up an army of aye-ayes. They are monkeys that tap on trees and listen for echoes that signal hollows inside them, which are often infested by grubs (aka AI), then gnaw holes into the wood using their forward-slanting incisors to create a small hole into which they insert their narrow middle fingers (how apt is that in this context) to pull the grubs out.
I appreciate your research, approach, and thoughts here. I am also so. tired. As a writer, I am tired of being scared that my work might be flagged as AI because of a few mdashes. As a lit mag editor, I'm tired of worrying one of the essays I loved is AI because the writer used a "not this, but that" phrase in a sentence. It feels like just the beginning ?? and I am already so tired! And grumpy! And I don't want to have to put a "human created" badge on all my shit. And I don't want to pay for an AI detector for my lit mag which is already cost strapped. But. I do appreciate the continued conversations here and am interested in where your talks go and what manifests.
Love the humor (as usual)
Extra points! 🚨
This is starting to feel like a moral panic.
I don't need an AI "detector" to spot bad writing.
It announces itself.
That's kinda the whole point of the end there if you read that far
That's kinda what I did.
not read to the end?
