Is there even a way to check if something is written by an LLM? Only way I can think of is to monitor their computers and also make them turn on their webcams to see if they’re using any other devices.
Oh that’s beautiful. This is at the crux of generative AI’s disruptive potential: you can never tell for sure if it’s AI. At least theoretically. For most meaningful tasks its output is often dubious. But for the mind rotting stuff done to train the models, there’s no way they can tell. Unless they monitor their microtaskers. But proctoring is no trivial task. Considering the pittance they’re paying microtaskers, I doubt any form of effective proctoring is justifiable.
In the end Saltman will be the main victim of the disruption it hoped to unleash at large.
