Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated

The study is by a company that creates software to detect AI content, so it’s literally their whole job.
It’s a much larger sample size than a lot of studies.
It’s a very small proportion of the total number of Facebook posts though.

The proportion of the total population size is almost irrelevant when you use random sampling. It doesn’t rely on examining a large portion of the population, but rather that it becomes increasingly unlikely for the sample set to deviate dramatically from the population size. This is a function of the number of samples you take, decoupled from the population size.
