Relentless advancement to produce new gen of blob-no-thoughts seppos

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

I then fed a chunk of text from the Book of Genesis into ZeroGPT and it came back as 93.33 percent AI-generated.

Turns out the Bible was the word of God handed down to man, it’s just that God is the AI bot running our simulation.

This says to me that our leadership is only going to get worse and worse. The meritocracy will be full of people with degrees from the right universities but with zero ability to think dynamically. Thus novel situations will be handled with AI slop only further exacerbating the “constantly trying to fight the last war” problem (metaphorically speaking).

it'd be pretty funny if it's just picking up on the fact the text is a mishmash from different authors writing for different purposes

After seeing this I was curious so I took a chunk of fanfiction that I wrote myself, then had ChatGPT write a second chapter, fed both into it, and it was extremely inaccurate. It rated my chapter at 20% AI and the ChatGPT chapter at 40%, which is a bit of a correlation but both the false positive and false negative rates are way too high to use this tool for anything.

interesting. yeah, there's also the "it's all completely irredeemable bullshit" possibility
