It's just do dumb... it's like asking a screwdriver how it feels, and then using that screwdriver to scratch into the wall "evil" and then telling everyone that your screwdriver is evil.

These "AI" bots are not actually sentient, they have no feelings, they'll just spit out something they think humans would say. Why are is everyone so obsessed with asking them how they feel?

I get how you'd detect AI generated images, video, and voice. Being able to watermark those things at a metadata level or encode a signature into it. But I don't see any way it could possible do that for plain text that is copy/pasted.

Realistically, it would have to be just like existing plagiarism checkers, and just do a match search on text that it has generated itself (rather than searching published works or online) but that only covers stuff that ChatGPT has generated, not other ones that are yet to be made public, or self hosted GPT3 generations.

That's kind of the problem, they aren't going to recast, and just putting everyone in old age makeup would look bad. It isn't just a small time jump either, it's 30 years. Plus with the scandal around Cas Anvar (Alex Kamal) and how they killed his character off rather than recast, it kind of puts a wrinkle in matching things up with the books going forward.

I think they picked a perfect place to end the show naturally, and on a high note.
