8k posts sounds like 0.00014 percent of Facebook posts

how tf did it take 6 years to analyze 8000 posts

I pretty sure they selected posts from a 6 year period, not that they spent six years on the analysis.

This is a pretty sweet ad for https://originality.ai/ai-checker

They don't talk much about their secret sauce. That 40% figure is based on "trust me bro, our tool is really good". Would have been nice to be able to verify this figure / use the technique elsewhere.

It's pretty tiring to keep seeing ads masquerading as research.

It probably is but it’s a large sample size and if the selection is random enough, it’s likely sufficient to extrapolate some numbers. This is basically how drug testing works.

I can’t even fathom how they would go about testing if it’s an AI or not. I can’t imagine that’s an exact science either.

These people should be shot. With large spoons. Because it’ll hurt more.

Ok this made me laugh.

I’m not surprised. And of those 16 posts how many of them made him mad? Since that seems like the entire purpose of FB anymore. Anger drives engagement. It’s why rage bait works so well. I highly recommend everyone disconnect from Facebook for this reason. Hell Reddit was even going down that path before we all left.

In that case, how/why did they only choose 8000 posts over 6 years? Facebook probably gets more than 8000 new posts per minute.

Thank you. I’ve wondered the same thing. I mean the whole goal of the LLMs is to be indistinguishable from normal human created test. I have a hard time telling most of the time. Now the images I can spot in a heartbeat. But I imagine that will change too.

This doesn't have anything to do with encryption. They had a public database (anyone on the internet could query it) and forgot to put a password on it. It really shouldn't even be public.

Every study uses sampling. They don't have the resources to check everything. I have to imagine it took a lot of work to verify conclusively whether something was or was not generated. It's a much larger sample size than a lot of studies.

Except bureaucrats, of course.

The study is by a company that creates software to detect AI content, so it's literally their whole job.

It’s a much larger sample size than a lot of studies.

It's a very small proportion of the total number of Facebook posts though.

They should bring back chain shot.

Well, there's also 0.1% who are relatives of old people who are tring to keep in touch with the batty old meme-forwarders. I was one of those until the ones who mattered most to me shuffled off this mortal coil.

And statistical analysis. The larger the universe, the smaller the true random sample you need

damn no wonder i feel so cheap after scrolling a fb feed for an hour
