We don't allow AI/bot posts, so if you see one please report it so we can take a look.
Good, another thing to watch for and report! You can count on my eyes 👀
Yep, it's an increasing issue. We get rid of them if we have good confidence that they're AI-generated, but I'm sure some slip through. Feel free to report suspected ones and we can take a look at them.
From what I’ve been able to experiment with ChatGPT and other technologies, this is only the beginning, so be prepared. Right now this AIs still have limitations, they are (not so) easily detectable, but in one or two years, if LLM technology keeps evolving at this pace, we’ll be on an scenario where it will be really difficult to discern human users from bots. And I’m not sending my ID to anyone on the Internet to verify me, that’s a red line for me.
I guess users like me who have been active for more than a decade are free from those suspicions (unless our account gets hacked). But discerning among new users, may be tricky sooner than we think.
I am not sure if it is AI, but I noticed that some MR members are posting threads asking strange questions, usually to the community chat, but not always.
Always seems like the same few or maybe just one member posting these strange threads.
Honestly, even before seeing this thread about AI posts, I remember many times looking at some of these posts and thinking that only an extra terrestrial that was trying to study human behavior would ask such questions.
I can't remember any specific questions, but it would be something like "Why do people say the sky is blue, when it can be many different colors, especially at sunset?".
Maybe not the best example, but it was the first thing to pop in my head.
Mind you, I’m about to open a thread about the safety of uploading personal pictures to a dating app, because of the misuses an AI with pictures of my face could do. I don’t know if that is considered a weird topic, but I want to get into the dating pool, and this apps require you to upload personal pictures, pictures that can be gathered by some AIs to do who knows what…
I still don’t know where to open this thread tho, on the App Store and apps subforum, or in the Community Discussion subforum.
