I thought of sharing some issues that preoccupy me here, because of how active piefed development is. Btw thank you all for your hard work!

I have noticed that more and more articles are created with LLMs without disclosing it. So, it seems to me that if someone wants to avoid posting this sort of content, one needs to at least:

  • check how many articles the author posts per day in the specific site,
  • then if the author really exist and
  • finally copy-paste part of the text in a couple of ai-detector sites.

Initially, I thought of making a post for a feature request like the one that detects AI generated images, but for text. But I can't because if I got this right, the ai-detectors may flag an article as ai generated when the author is not a native english speaker [1].

Of course the feature that allows us to label ai-generated content ourselves before posting it is very important. In a way my questions are related to something else: what to do before that. As briefly as I can, here they are:

  • does the process mentioned above seem adequate?
  • if yes, what else can someone do to check an article before posting, and are there any alternatives/variations to this process?
  • if no, what would you suggest?

You're talking about social rules to restrict people (and bots) from what they can post. That can be an idea to pitch to mods of lemmy and piefed communities, but isn't something to do with piefed as a software.

Actually, I didn't have in mind restrictions on people.

At first, I wondered if a feature like the ai-image thing (link in the post) could be implemented. Since this doesn't seem to be doable, currently I am just trying to find ways to be able to detect ai-generated articles, as accurately as possible.

The "one" who needs to do this is the user, no? Which boils down to a "no AI articles allowed" rule, with the question being how it can be enforced.

Perfect example! Even if there is a “no AI articles allowed” rule how are the mods supposed to know that it comes from an llm? Not only that, how can I check an article before posting it and with what degree of certainty?
