RE: Artificial Intelligence on steroids

We've had plenty of people re-writing info from elsewhere to make Hive posts and this just automates that. I think there were already plagiarism checkers as well as tools to try and fool them. It's an arms race.
Chat GPT may be different as I think it can pull from lots of sources. If you don't know what those are then you don't know how reliable it is. There are already tools trying to detect when it was used, but there may be costs involved.
I think some cases will stand out where the quality of posts from a user radically changes, but with new ones it may be harder. It definitely presents challenges and it will get worse. The genii is not going back in the bottle.
My Hive votes will continue to go to stuff I like. That can involve building a relationship with the author and machines may struggle with that, for now.
Welcome to the future grandad!
It doesn't "pull sources"; it literally creates its response based on what it has learned. The AI creates the textural response GPT gives you, so there is no plagiarism. It's kind of like asking your friend to write something for you. Unless that friend reveals that they, in fact, wrote it, there is literally no way of knowing other than if your friend uses words or phrases that everyone knows you would never use, but here's the rub. Openminds is working on that too and looking to personalise responses, so for example, as you know, I use a lot of South East London phrases, dialects and nuances. Fairly soon, GPT will learn that and respond accordingly, i.e. in the same language I or anyone else would normally use in their day-to-day interactions.
Well it is using existing text sources to 'learn' from. Some may be unreliable. There may be possible analysis of the style of writing, but that will need some other form of 'AI'. I do see people being accused of using it by HW.
There's also some discussion over on Mastodon with some people very against it. The technology is here and it will get used. I've only played with it, but it may have real uses.
If you get caught using methods that some on Hive do not approve of then you are likely to get slammed. Some may disagree on what should be allowed, but being honest helps. If I generate an image then I will say so.
I suspect the vast majority will prefer to create their own content. I could see myself using it for work purposes, but it would really feel like cheating if people used it for the Fediverse, Twitter or even Hive.
The clincher will be when people start linking it to their accounts with scheduled Tweets or posts whereby the AI knows to produce a set amount of characters for each particular platform based on a list of topics submitted to it.
"OK, Google (Alexa), today's GPT topics are..........." 😐
Not everyone has your morals, so we need to be vigilant. If people are posting like a bot then they may be one.
