Comment on Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions

• halcyoncmdr@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  The takeaway from all LLM-based AI is the user needs to be smart enough to do whatever they’re asking anyway. All output needs to be verified before being used or relied upon.

  The “AI” is just streamlining the process to save time.

  Relying on it otherwise is stupid and just proves instantly that you are incompetent.

    the user needs to be smart enough to do whatever they’re asking anyway

    I’m gonna say that’s ideal but not quite necessary. What’s needed is that the user is capable of properly verifying the output. Which anyone who could do it themselves definitely can, but it can be done more broadly. It’s an easier skill to verify a result than it is to obtain that result. Think: how film critics don’t necessarily need to be film*makers*, or the P=NP question in computer science.

      But if the output has issues, what’re you going to do, prompt it again? If you are only able to verify but not do the task, you cannot correct the AI’s mistakes yourself.

        At the risk of sounding like an overly obsequious AI… You know what, you’re completely right. I’m honestly not sure what use case I was imagining when I wrote that last comment.

        I can’t draw, but I could probably photoshop out some minor issues in an AI-generated image.

        If you don’t habe the ability then you would do what you would have 5 years ago: not do it
        Either submit without, or not submit at all.

        If you’re unable to brute-force verification (research, testing, consulting the ancient texts), there’s where you stop what you’re doing, and take a breath. Then, consult an expert. Just like the film critic analogy, it’s easier to verify than to create, so you’re saving the expert time and effort while learning about something that you were obviously already passionate enough about to have started this endeavor.

      This is where domain expertise would come in, no? It’s speeding up the work but it usually outputs generic content, and whatever else it injects while hallucinating. Therefore the validation part holds up I’d say.

    This is absolutely the case, and honestly, at least for now how it needs to be across the board.

    Noone should be using AI to do things you’re incapable of doing (or undoing).

    Relying on it otherwise is stupid and just proves instantly that you are incompetent.

    Relying on it in any circumstances (though medical stuff is understandable if you’re simply too poor or don’t have access) while it is exhausting water supplies and polluting the planet is stupid and instantly proves that you are stupid and inconsiderate.

  Fucking hate those anti human filth pushing slop into everything. I want to take one apart with power tools.

        It holds up better than any movie from the late 90s that I can think of.

  I don’t think AI users would say it does reformatting either (if they’re honest): If you tell a chatbot to reformat text without changing it, it will change the text, because it does not understand the concept of not changing text. It should only take one time for someone to get burned for them to learn that lesson.
