(#t2nex3q) @abucci Could not agree more 💯 You should not be using AI generated text as your own in any works 🤦‍♂️

(#t2nex3q) @darren It's bound to happen (if not already) 🤦‍♂️

(#t2nex3q) If I had more free time right now I'd write another blog post about this. For now, I just wanted to register how infuriating, tiring, and lousy this firehose of AI this/AI that is. A lot of people in the US don't seem to know that cars were crammed down our collective throats in much the same way, over enormous protests. Cars killed tons of people, and building roads destroyed communities on a massive scale. Huge numbers of people protested all of this and more, but cars were rammed through as something we just had to bear anyway. Many people, including me, have raised alarm bells about this AI technology, and yet here we are having it rammed through in much the same way. It's a pattern in the United States for sure, if not in the Western world generally. The powers that be don't seem inclined to slow this process down or regulate it in anyway. I suspect they won't start until the harms it can cause and are already causing become so great they can't be ignored anymore.

@abucci (#t2nex3q) I wouldn't put my name on AI generated text. God knows where those words have been. You think you've saved time then suddenly you're being harassed by DMCA take down letters, or worse.

I posted this on LinkedIn: > ACM, Association for Computing Machinery recently circulated a survey about their authorship policies. I strongly agree with their stance that AI text generators should not be listed as authors. I strongly disagree with their stance that research articles could contain generated text if it is disclosed and meets some other reasonable critiera. I believe the inclusion of such text in research articles fundamentally reduces their quality relative to texts authored entirely by human beings. I also believe, given how AI text generators are trained, that their use is a form of plagiarism. I very much hope the ACM reverses course on that particular aspect of their policy.
