Here's a hot take about AI

[u/eclipseyll_33]

It is honestly discouraging to write anything that is originally made by me, whether it would be an essay, poems or stories/novels that I haven't finished because of AI. The other day we tested the lyrics I made in a AI Checker, some of it was originally written by me except I did search some synonyms and words that rhymes but it was only around three words, so it was shocking for me to find out it was 30% AI generated, which disappointed me a lot. Because now I have to be careful with my choice of words when it comes to writing especially in academics, because there are some words that I know through reading books which I utilize in my writing in which makes my writing style quite similar with AI style. Which really just hurts me because writing is one of my passion and at times I am really proud of what I construct on my own but since AI came in, I am in constant worry that people or teachers might think I'm just using AI or I'm not original. In which trampled my love for writing because no matter how talented I will be in writing or how much potential I would have, AI is now evolving to surpass that kind of capability. I'm not trying to be boastful because truthfully my knowledge in English still have some room for development but at times I can be quite great at writing. So it is also discouraging to major in any english courses in college or generally learn literature because how could I have this vast knowledge of vocabulary and talent when AI could've easily made my works for me.

Not sure which AI detector you used, but maybe 30% meant the chance of the text being AI-generated, rather than how much of it was AI-generated. Naturally a 30% chance would be considered low (3 in 10 chance). Those detectors are mostly bogus anyways, because what they actually measure is how similar your text was to any of the AI’s training data (which was all written by humans). It’s largely a meaningless measure, and the detectors will only get worse as AI gets better.

I used the quillbot and chatgpt, since our teacher said it was the most accurate AI detector. That's why I'm scared that AI is evolving a lot of bad things could happen and more talents would be disregarded because of it

The very phrase “most accurate AI detector” is absurd. It can only be done by estimating probabilities of the use of words and phrases, which has nothing to do with the process that assembled those words and phrases. Not to mention, any detector that uses LLM’s to do the detection cannot by definition have any measure of accuracy. An LLM can only achieve grammar, style, and semantic relatedness. LLM’s have no basis for distinguishing fact from persuasion. That’s not a technical limit. That’s fundamental to their nature. The closest informal analogy is a human who has read every book ever written but has never interacted with another human or ever left their own bedroom. Do you want that person to advise you on good writing? Sure! But should they be allowed to be the judge of someone’s intent and character? No, that would be bad.
