That laptop lol.

I'm not necessarily saying they're conflicting goals, merely that they're not the same goal.

The incentive for the generator becomes "generate propaganda that doesn't have the language chatacteristics of typical LLMs", so the incentive is split between those goals. As a simplified example, if the additional incentive were "include the word bamboo in every response", I think we would both agree that it would do a worse job at its original goal, since the constraint means that outputs that would have been optimal previously are now considered poor responses.

Meanwhile, the detector network has a far simpler task - given some input string, give back a value representing the confidence it was output by a system rather than a person.

I think it's also worth considering that LLMs don't "think" in the same way people do - where people construct an abstract thought, then find the best combinations of words to express that thought, an LLM generates words that are likely to follow the preceding ones (including prompts). This does leave some space for detecting these different approaches better than at random, even though it's impossible to do so reliably.

But I guess really the important thing is that people running these bots don't really care if it's possible to find that the content is likely generated, just so long as it's not so obvious that the content gets removed. This means they're not really incentivised to spend money training models to avoid detection.

I was wondering who Facebook was for, good to know AI has low standards

Dead internet theory

My number also assumes one post per person so it’s overestimating the %

chat bots have been a thing, for a long time. I mean, a half decently trained Markov can handle social media postings and replies

In the last month it has become a barrage. The algorithms also seem to be in overdrive. If I like something I get bombarded with more stuff like that within a day. I'd say 90% of my feed is shit that has nothing to do with anyone I know.

The other 60% are old people re-sharing it.

and, is the jury already in on which ai is most fuckable?

Deleted my account a little while ago but for my feed I think it was higher. You couldn't block them fast enough, and mostly obviously AI pictures that if the comments are to be believed as being actual humans...people believed were real. It was a total nightmare land. I'm sad that I have now lost contact with the few distant friends I had on there but otherwise NOTHING lost.

I'd tell you, but my area network appears to have already started blocking DeepSeek.

I'm a big fan of a particularly virtual table-top tool called Foundry, which I use to host D&D games.

The Instagram algorithm picked this out of my cookies and fed it to Temu, which determined I must really like... lathing and spot-wielding and shit. So I keep getting ads for miniature industrial equipment. At-home tools for die casting and alloying and the like. From Temu! Absolutely crazy.

Thanks.
Now do Reddit comments.

When I was looking for a job, I ran into a guide to make money using AI:

Choose a top selling book.
Ask Chat GPT to give a summary for each chapter.
Paste the summaries into Google docs.
Export as PDF.
Sell on Amazon as a digital “short version” or “study guide” for the original book.
Repeat with other books.

Blew my mind how much hot stinking garbage is out there.

There’s an AI reply option now. Interested to know how far that is off just being part of the regular comments.

A friend told me he saw 16 posts before he saw a post from a friend or page he’d liked.

They want dumb users consuming ai content, they need LLM content because the remaining users are too stupid to generate the free content that people actually want to click.

Then they pump ads to you based on increasingly targeted AI slop selling more slop.

I made the mistake of clicking like on an Indian machine shop (I admired how they made do with crude conditions). Well now I get bombarded with not just those videos but Mexican welding shops, Pakistani auto repair places...

6% old people re-sharing. The other 54% were bot accounts.

Deekseek that was not encrypting data
