Is it me or does this article seem “off”. The verbatim repetition of the thesis multiple times makes me think this wasn’t written by a person.

- nkko 4y agoHaven't bothered to read it. GPT detector says it is 99% fake. https://openai-openai-detector.hf.space/ https://openai-openai-detector.hf.space/
- Urgo 4y agoMaybe I'm doing it wrong but I pasted the article text into the site you linked and it said 99.98% real.
- nkko 4y agoI've used two paragraphs from the middle of the article.
- lgas 4y agoIgnoring for the moment the accuracy of that tool, even if the prose is 99% AI written, that doesn't meant that the result is fake. Maybe their model wrote it. Edit: You can try it here https://huggingface.co/spaces/THUDM/GLM-130B https://huggingface.co/spaces/THUDM/GLM-130B. I tried it. I was not impressed.
- nmpennypacker 4y agoI was thinking the same thing. The repetition of the variations of the phrase "the creator economy...upper echelon of..." are painfully redundant.
- vehemenz 4y agoThe style is reminiscent of an eighth grade essay. The thesis is as trite and obvious as they come. For bonus points, the writer cites sources without linking to them, including Forbes—the worst pay-to-play publication out there.
- civilized 4y agoCiting without linking is something I've seen ChatGPT do. It knows this sort of article should contain this sort of citation but doesn't know or care what to actually link. The second half of the article seems more authentic though. I'm not sure ChatGPT would come up with "the middle class comes from economic friction" (paraphrasing).

- arnath 4y ago100% had this thought because of the repetition. It generally just feels like it makes the same point three times without adding anything new in any of them.
- lancebeet 4y agoThe same author just published an article on a new open source language model that supposedly outperforms GPT-3[1]. Very curious. [1] https://therationalist.substack.com/p/glm-130b-an-open-bilingual-pre-trained https://therationalist.substack.com/p/glm-130b-an-open-bilin...
- wakana 4y agoHi! I am the person that wrote this, and used GPT-3 and a few other writing tools to help me wordsmith it. All the points, however, is original work and not AI generated. I am not a native English speaker, so I have been using these tools to avoid awkward sentences/paragraphs. (Clearly this has not been the outcome I was hoping for)
- fullshark 4y agoGood eye, their only other article is equally suspicious in prose and especially content: https://therationalist.substack.com/p/glm-130b-an-open-bilingual-pre-trained https://therationalist.substack.com/p/glm-130b-an-open-bilin...
- NetOpWibby 4y agoYou're right. I came to this HN thread from Twitter https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1611758284175966209 https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1611758284175966209
