AI Allegations Thread

[EmilyMiller]

Plagiarism is a remarkable tool also, and it provides the exact same service as AI. It allows you to take someone else's work and present it as your own without engaging a single neuron, without talent or skill.

This website is an engine of human intelligence, a gathering place of artists not programmers or plagiarists. If you have to resort to begging your MacBook to write erotica for you it merely means that either you failed English or you failed sex. Possibly both. But falsely claiming it as your own is criminal.

Programmers are people too, hun. I work with a few.

Non-English majors are people as well.

Em M.S.

It reminds me of when you hear royalty-free library music "rap" or "r&b" in a hotel lobby or shop.

My work commissioned somebody to do a rap song about our Mission and Vision (TM) for use as the corporate hold music. Vogon poetry has nothing on it.

 

[Bramblethorn]

These spoiler buttons aren't working for me, alas. Or I don't know what to do with them.

Oh, I thought it was just me and my browser settings.

That sounds utterly awful.

As a retired programmer my self, I ain't sure.

No - it’s broken.

The programmers I work with are lovely.

I’m product owner for one of our claim systems and also also some related dashboards.

LOL - I have a friend, Steve. Steve likes talking about AI (but doesn't know much about it, technically). One day we were at lunch, and I was explaining the Turing Test to him and how it was a difficult standard to exceed (I spent a decade plus working with AI).

When I explained that it had to be crafted in such a way that an ordinary person couldn't tell they were talking to an AI he asked: "But what if the person is stupid and easy to fool?". I went back to the office and asked the question to my coworkers. They got a kick out of it and from then on we referred to it as "The Steve Test".

We build many systems that could fool The Steve Test, never anything that came close to the Turing Test.

Reminds me of the Yosemite issue: the problem with building "bear-proof" food containers is that there's considerable overlap between the intelligence of the brightest bear and the dimmest tourist.

Hi Tilan.

Oh jeez, that explains why SMDLAU is so hot and bothered about AI

I joke, of course. But I had a few colleagues in my day that, shall I say, had peculiar thinking. More than once, I had to clean up a mess they left.

We're not writing code here dear, we're not writing python script or Java or C++ and I've worked with programmers longer than you've been employed. Our work is the work of OUR imagination, not something a machine with no heart or imagination spews out that we then falsely claim to be our work.

And you want to know something really cool?
History majors are people TOO!

OP, don't get too excited about what's transpiring here. What you see is an antisocial caravan led by a cynical coachman who has, once again, discovered a new method of tormenting his insular mules. This is the realm of the socios, by the socios, for the socios.

AI is a remarkable tool, and it would be unwise not to employ it... judiciously.

If the caravan appeals to you, take the reins and leave the whip to others. Note that each mule bears its own custom set of non-healing scars, carved by a mythical ghost. But don't worry; you'll always have the freedom of snitch.

The forum is much less fun without you here. Is there an expiration date on that ban?

The irony of people complaining they were accused of gaslighting...while they're gas lighting.

Almost as good as someone calling them sexist...in this forum, that's rich.

Snark aside, a great win for the inbred wagon circling cool kids in driving off someone.

Now, back to talking about boobies and acting like fifth graders.

But I’m peculiar too. Scientists, programmers, kinda the same vibe.

He was the most entertaining troll - not that the competition is great.

At least he wasn’t totally obnoxious all of the time. Some people were oddly fond of him in an Eeyore sort of way. He wasn’t universally hated.

I found myself agreeing with him a few times. He never made it to my ignore list.

But our SOs seem to love us anyway!

That scene of an intoxicated Julie Andrews in S.O.B. asking, "Would you like to see my boobies?" flashed in my mind

 

[EmilyMiller]

But our SOs seem to love us anyway!

He tells me it’s because, not in spite, of. Gotta love that.

[Britva415]

Not to split hairs, but we're in a brave new world now, and the traditional sense really doesn't apply anymore

This sounds an awful lot like defending AI usage by allowing "work not one's own" to be passed off as "one's own work." Because that's what this statement does

It's fine to debate what's plagiarism and what's not, with regard to AI or otherwise, but in the context here, where you're defending yourself against "used AI" accusations, it's not a very good look to then defend yourself against (real, perceived, or hypothetical) plagiarism accusations by saying "an AI can't be plagiarized."

I like boobies.

Enjoy.

 

[Djmac1031]

Enjoy.

Thank you. I don't know what some people have against them.

I find them wonderful and educational.

 

[Voboy]

Thank you. I don't know what some people have against them.

Just people, getting their feathers ruffled. Lol.

Some people let that happen pretty readily.

I've never had a story pulled so I don't know what the content of such a notification message looks like, but how did you find out the stories were pulled due to reports? Do the notification messages say so?
