Many people claim that AI is democratizing writing. However, all it's doing is democratizing the final product, not the process that creates it. Article Below #AI #Writing #Plagiarism

Google has nerfed itself as a source for fact-checking This AI Overview cites a report but links to another Google search instead of the actual report And if you re-run this query, you'll get a different number each time!

Apparently newspapers are running ChatGPT book recommendation articles filled with fake AI hallucinated books. The future is very stupid. Via threads.com/@tbretc/post/DJ2…

The difficult thing about copyright infringement lawsuits against OpenAI and other companies with LLMs is that some of these companies are currently using the same LLMs to produce their content. msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/ca…

Mandating handwritten instead of typed notes is quite odd. Perhaps the notes are a classmate's, and the student needs a copy that looks different. Even that is a stretch of the imagination.

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Inspired to get creative with my poster for @ictmc2024 this week! I shared my work on bayesian generalised linear mixed models to optimise treatment dosage in early phase trials using Patient-reported Outcomes. #ICTMC2024 #clinicaltrials
Great Idea for Poster presentation...!!! Via Caroline O'Donnell/O'Flaherty Lab (Linkedin) #scicomm #scienceoutreach #sciencetalk #scienceposter

Google thinks the average IQ of a monkey is 74 which is of course ridiculous. I looked into why and it’s because it’s pulling from a website that’s AI generated. 😂

Oh hi I am Microsoft, the world's most valuable company, a title I have held intermittently since 1998. I am especially known for my dominant hold on enterprise software. You now have two email applications, named "Outlook" and "Outlook (new)." This is very professional.

I know the numbers look bad, but maybe the problem isn't that there's sexism in science, but rather than women just prefer not to change their names to Michael?
1 in 10 of the top 100 ‘best’ scientists are named Michael or Eric, but only 3% are female, according to @guide2research. Putting aside the obvious flaws of the H-index, these numbers are disheartening. Thanks to @mbeisen for sharing. research.com/scientists-rank…

This represents the sad state of journalism right now. I'm glad that there are some actual journalists who care enough to expose it. futurism.com/advon-ai-conten…

Things go horribly wrong when authors have contracted with Elsevier to deliver a book on tidal energy and don't have time to notice that the sources of their plagiarism are writing non-literally. pubpeer.com/publications/E46… worldenergy.org/assets/downl…

My point here is not that I dislike "delve," though I do, but that it's a sign that text was written by ChatGPT.
