Reply to comment by Bierbart12 in AI makes plagiarism harder to detect, argue academics – in paper written by chatbot by x0y1

I’m not sure why you all have this idea that AI is and will always be like Commander Data from Star Trek. For what it’s worth, that conceptualization of robots dates back to the very roots of the word in the 1920s book Rossum’s Universal Robots. You know, back when they didn’t exist.

In reality, AI will do whatever you train it to do. Tomorrow’s AI will always be able to overcome whatever idiosyncrasies people are exploiting in the AI of today. ChatGPT already inarguably passed the Turing test, which is a signal that we should stop evaluating these systems based on the ideas of last century.

I had a coworker point out a mistake he caught on a job site and say to me (referencing previous conversations about whether or not AI could do our jobs) “you think an AI would have caught that?”

All I was thinking was “yeah, easily, absolutely and 100% of the time. It wouldn’t have been there in the first place.”
