Hi @neavvy,

I wrote some stuff for a few clients covering AI and its application to story telling. One of the most fascinating ventures I found was by Disney. They sought to develop a streamlined AI that can search the Internet and discern between text that satisfies the criteria for a story. Some of the criteria used were plot, main and supporting characters.

As far as your question, I would say that the AI would tend to identify the most technically proficient, but least creative of English writers as AI. My rational is that AI programing being based on Websters and Oxford dictionaries. Logistical applications to defined language would yield such a result.

An interesting topic indeed and one that could one day have us all communicating through an AI-constructed Internet tollbooth.

God bless,

Marco

In terms of text generation, there was the recent situation with GPT2 where the researchers held back part of their model for fear it was too good.
Detection is always an arms race though. If someone deploys an AI to detect generated text, then it can become a target for adversarial attacks. In situations where there is immediate reward for getting generated text through and limited long term consequences for being caught then an adversarial attack on a detector AI only needs to be relevant for a short term. I've posted about this before in regard to Steem. I've also mentioned in regard to AI dApp projects ... if your detector AI is running where the public has cheap access to it, then it will easily be overwhelmed by an adversarial attack.
One potential solution is to put the detector AI behind a paid API - a penny or two per detection request might be sufficient to raise the cost of adversarial probing to the point most attackers won't bother. There are other countermeasures an API could take but they are not fool proof.
As an aside, adversarial attacks aren't anything particularly special in AI. One approach to creating generators is to have it compete against a detector (the adversary) in an approach called GAN Generative Adversarial Network.
An an amusing annecdote: some years back a colleague and I annoyed somebody at a trade fair by adversarially attacking their face detection/tracking system. We managed to fool it with two circles and a line hand drawn on piece paper. Systems are much better now, but will still have vulnerabilities.

In the case of GPT2, or any general purpose language transformer, where the purpose is to just mimic human writing, I'm certain there are statistical solutions to find this type of text.

But if the text was created with (currently mythical) General AI, the text itself should be evaluated in terms of whether or not it is valuable. If it's valuable research, it doesn't matter if a person did the research or AI, again, assuming it was produced by a mind, not just a language transformer like these examples.

Thank you for you comment @inertia, that's really interesting attitude.

Well, I think that this "statistical" kind of AI also does its own research, which is not very far away from what we usually do - we are also some kind of neural network which usually creates its opinion basing on what others say or write. At the current level maybe it is closer to just transforming text of other people, but I think that as this concept evolves (not necessarily to the level of "mythical" General AI) it will be able to generate quality publication and present an unique opinion.

As long as you admit that particular text is machine-generated, I see nothing wrong in publishing and reading such text.

Yes. I think that's important. It's good to know the background of the author. If the author is reluctant to discuss their background, then they must be worried about their safety. For the time being, we can assume it's political pressure. But some day in the not too distant future, we will have to consider that an anonymous, unverified author might be on the wrong side of politics, is AI, or both.

I totally agree with you, but I suppose GLTR is rather an experiment than a serious tool. As I mentioned, it only increases a chance to spot the fake text, and I believe that in about 6-12 months machine-generated texts will be so advanced that GLTR will become helpless. And unfortunately I see no space for further development and improvements of this tool.

An an amusing annecdote: some years back a colleague and I annoyed somebody at a trade fair by adversarially attacking their face detection/tracking system.

That's really interesting. As far as I know, till the premiere of iPhone X face recognition systems were generally easy to trick with a photo. Ultimately Apple introduced their special sensor able to recognize face in 3 dimensions, thus becoming resistant to the images. However I think you can still convince it by using some precise mask.

That's right, but we need to consider the fact that AI generated text is currently on a very basic level. Additionally, such programs are usually not open source (people do not have access to the code), so you would need to be really advanced at machine learning (probably on an academic level) to develop something like that on your own. But when this technology gets more adoption and programmers with basics skills will be able to use it, they may use it in a wrong way

Interesting problem, the idea that AI might create content consumed by humans. But then, is it a problem? A particularly effective AI creates value... but, value is assigned by the consumer... so, if an AI can out compete human posters, then either humans need to get better or... they need to design better AI's to stand in their corners of the ring.

Whoever loses, the consumers still win, and that's what's important.

Interesting approach, I agree with that. However, while you are a consumer of the content, you may be the producer of something else. AI may not only create text, but maybe one day it will replace you in your work. I think we can't divide humans into producers and consumers, because we are usually on the both sides of this ecosystem.

Thanks for your response @neavvy. A human "job" serves only one purpose; that is to fulfill human needs (which are well summed up by Maslows hierarchy of needs).

If AI is "producing" products and services which other humans are "consuming" and there are still a group of humans that are not having their "needs" being met still, then (at least in a free market), humans will always be left to serve each other what and where the AI's fail to.

We actually suffer from this problem already, but instead of AI's rubbing out the competition, we have the world banking elite and their "system" doing that. If you choose not to "consume" what the globalist banksters, hucksters and social engineers are selling, you will be marginalized and "replaced." Much worse than AI could ever be since these folks are intentionally "evil" whereas the AI are simply programmed.

Thank for bringing your post to my attention.

Going through your posts made me ask several questions about morality and humanity to myself, that I think are a long way from being even acknowledged, let alone finding solutions for?

Can we really believe what the AI suggests us? Can AI's be motivated by the thoughts or actions of the persons who created or hired them?
How far should we allow AIs to penetrate our lives? And will that even matter?
Should there be a universal regulating authority keeping a constant check on AI developments 'cause there sure seems to be an "anything goes" thinking when it comes to developing them?

I am sure these questions pose huge debate and moral recollection, but only if questions like these are asked will there be any form of a collective understanding.

Yes, at the current stage of development, AI's perception of reality strictly depends on the "settings" made by person who created it.

As little as possible.

This is one of the reasons why I'm quite against AI sometimes. All the new ways to dupe people and such. People should focus more on doing good to others instead of abusing other people or systems. Ah life.

Thank you for your comment dear @artgirl. I really appreciate it a lot. I'm sorry for such a late reply, but I were on holidays and had very limited access to Internet.

Indeed, that would make us all benefit...

Interesting piece. The AI text generators have definitely come a long way.

It will be interesting to see how the tech progresses, along with the tech to detect it; arms race indeed.

Yes, that's really a kind of a show.

I agree with your "vicious circle leading to nowhere" theory.

AI will just keep getting smarter.

Perhaps we should instead start training ourselves on what we read, and making sure the sources are good. As writers, we can also make ourselves more personable to make sure that the person reading knows we are a they and not an it.

Its hard though, because we already dehumanize people on social media. We forget that there are real people behind those avatars!

That's true, we are creating a perfect environment for AI development.

Aliens Can Write Too LOL:

Exactly. Ultimately, it may not matter whether something was written by humans, AI, bots, aliens, or even your cat.

Application

Ultimately, what matters is what we do with it. If an AI writes a letter to you saying, "Burn down your house," then will you, @metzli, burn down your house?

Personal

I guess, if the AI was pretending to be your best friend in the whole wide world that you truly trusted, then you might consider it because you trust your friend so much. Ultimately, you would need to verify that your friend wrote it. So, make sure you have a secure communication between you and your friend.

Morality

Now, if the AI tries to promote something that is wrong, then you might be persuaded to believe in that thing. So, like you said, it is all about humans training humans and it comes down to understanding eternal principles. If the AI shares a good idea, then it is a good idea.

Brain Extension

The AI is simply like an extension of our brains in some ways. The AI can go through if this, then that, in the programming. The AI is simply a complex math problem. Like if A=B, then C=D, but if A+T=Y, then C=F.

AI Math

Bunch of math. That's AI. But people think. People can go with their logic or not. But the AI only goes by logic (programming). It looks like to us as if the AI is alive. Like you said, many things dehumanizes humans. That's bad. We have value. We are priceless. We should have robot body guards.

Brain Phones

Brain phones are coming. Celebrities will stick computer chips in their brains, if the have not already and say it is liberal and cool by 2020, that is next year, if they are not already doing it right now.

Immortality

They love transhumanism. I will try to not do that. But many people will be tempted to get brain phones. There are reasons why I wouldn't.

Transhumanism

But some people will feel like it would be better to do it. In some ways, they will be trying to turning us into AI while they stick computer chips into our brains. Some people already have computer chips.

Hello dear @neavvy, amazing what AI can generate, this seems to be a good solution to abuse in the use of machines to generate texts, I also share with you that it becomes a vicious circle.

Artificial intelligence makes fiction a threatening reality every day.

Thanks friend!

Dear @neavvy

I bookmarked your publication in the past and somehow I forgot to read it until just now. A bit to old to upvote :(

it was written by Artificial Intelligence.

Oh wow. The most confusing part is the fact that this AI seemed to show some sort of emotions by saying "This book was so depressing to me, I can't even talk about it without feeling like I want to punch the kindle."

Reality is that AI can generate great content and surely can comment tons of publications daily, creating comments that are very hard to distinguish from humans. AI will probably take over digital marketing sooner or later.

Imagine mixing AI and deep fake news. This way you could have AI publishing videos and "pretending" to be someone else. Wouldn't you be amazed seeing your own face on youtube?

I would surely not dare to run my own youtube channel. Even publishing on public blockchain gives AI already enough data to pretend to be me.

Yours
Piotr

Yes, that's a little bit frightening

I would surely not dare to run my own youtube channel. Even publishing on public blockchain gives AI already enough data to pretend to be me.

That's right, imagine analyzing thousands of comments that you left here on Steem. AI would be able to imitate your "style" of writing easily...

Hi @neavvy I feel that GTLR though it may be limited is only a use case a demo of the possibilities.
I would go through the github link and maybe we can tweak it to track spam and abusers on platform like steemit.
Another application could be to identify fake review writers on other platforms.
I know I am digressing from the topic a but but I find the uses and possibilities immense by tweaking the code as it is open sources and has listed on Github

Nice post buddy and good luck to you dear @neavvy

@stefan.molyneux talked about this. He used to work on things like this. Generally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is simply protocol-based with code, programs, with things like if this, then that. Of course, it depends on the technology and how complex it might be. Ultimately, each human should have their own robot body guards, guns, computers, etc.

Internet 3.0 will be rising in the 2020's, this next decade, said Oatmeal Joey Arnold, Joeyarnoldvn L4OJ Ojawall, and decentralization is fundamental to independent freedoms. The problem is when AI is remote controlled, that is through backdoors, from centralized global tech cartels, from China, from Rothschild, from the Vatican, from other groups, from the globalists, that is through remote access. We must always defend private property rights. That's fundamental. Technology is a tool that is used for good and for bad. Ultimately, you should always invest in different things. Always be prepared. Seek after eternal principles, common sense, wisdom, historical patterns, etc, etc, in order to handle whatever AI throws at us.
