Oh my godd I’m so tired or this shit
“Uhm actually my field is vey intricate and has a lot of layers than an AI could never replace it… But yeah your field fucking sucks and I don’t care if it gets replaced with AI.”
Fuck these fake anti-AI people, if you only defend human writing, but ignore and actively support the end of human art, coding, etc, then you’re part of the problem too
As someone else, somewhere else, said, people seem to be ok with AI making the work they don’t actually know, but can easily pinpoint where AI has its limitations and routinely make mistakes when it’s the fields they’re actually knowledgable about.
So the problem is people champion the use of AI where they’re not directly affected because they look at other people’s work as less valuable, more easily replaceable, but theirs is suddenly too complex for AI to get it right.
I’ve been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I’m waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.
I want my applications to be like this:
“So we’ve published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?”
(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)
I’m stealing that post title to use myself
Probably didn’t read it because it was clearly low-quality slop - not because the final output was written by AI.
People don’t mind AI-generated content when they don’t detect it as such. It’s the low-effort garbage they don’t want to deal with.
Nobody has a perfect radar for AI content. This is just the good old toupee fallacy in action: “All toupees look terrible because I’ve never seen a good one” - except the good ones are the ones you never clocked as toupees.
