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?
I agree, that's what I meant with my last sentence. Even just making it harder for people to create slop undetected should help. Circumvention still requires effort, and effort is the opposite of what the slop creators are about. I just meant it's not going to be a superweapon against it.
Yes. Sadly it's one of the top arguments made in some online articles. It's ye good old "perfect is the enemy of good". But the EU did it nonetheless. Now we need to wait and find how it's going to turn out. I'd quite like to implement a fairly accurate AI filter here in the Fediverse. I think that'd alleviate some of the pain we got with "AI agents" flooding all the online spaces.
