The rule of thumb is simple: if most of a user or author's writing is consistently human-generated, then I think we are very happy giving them the benefit of the doubt if one article or snippet flags the actually good ai detector Unfor

Fwiw, I only did the first 300 words (signed into pangram) and it seemingly correctly noted that there were 2 (mostly) human-authored sentences in there What's wild to me is that: 1. People are responding to this article like it's

Right, imagine if instead they had coined new terminology that was not obvious and it re coined that - this would be close to a smoking gun Afaict that didn't happen so there's just lots of speculation

I think everyone is conflating a few things: * (1) Mathematics, the true things known by humans * Mathematics, the things that are true * (3) Mathematics, the institution which gets funding and manages resources to expand and maintain 1 AI

Importantly, which mathematicians will understand deep useful math? Who will actually care about the knowledge we can generate at will?

Yes, open source isn't art either, yet my point is that the same principle applies to both There are many ways to stop progress and productivity

I'm surprised nobody has stated the obvious: a hard math problem that has been open for ten years (because many serious people have given it serious thought and been unable to make significant progress) is, in fact, nonrenewable. The o

Yes, many mathematicians have. As Tao points out, merely suggesting new open questions isn't really sufficient. Part of what gives these problems their fame is their notoriety, their difficulty, the fact that many prodigious mathematic

It's somewhat useful to note just for your own timelines that Fable was reportedly trained in February. I'm not sure when mythos 5.1 finished training, but muse spark 1.3 almost certainly finished more recently than that. This doe

There are other methods, including asking them to eg speak using the Google style guide rules, or to speak at 2/10 verbosity, or to speak as if they're talking to a very intelligent middle schooler, or to use simple sentences in s

To quote Sarah Constantin: > Humans Who Are Not Concentrating Are Not General Intelligences^ But yeah, you should still treat them with humanity. (Related: you should treat LLMs well, not because they're human but because you are^^)

The scheme that Scott Aaronson describes essentially uses a specific prng, and you can then check a certain function with relatively few tokens to get a sense of whether or not a model using that scheme generated the text A few caveats: you

Somewhat trivially, if I ask Claude to transcribe an image and then check if that transcription is ai generated it will likely say yes. Many users are not smart enough to realize that the transcription step is where the ai (watermarks) were

This is probably true in a smaller way for OpenAI When you have a lot of free users the business demands that you serve them with the best cheap model you can build And time spent building that may provide dividends (eg OpenAI has very good
