Any extension to deal with AI-generated articles?
Is there an extension that warns you when you are wasting time reading ai-generated crap?
Case in point, I was reading an article that claimed to compare kubernetes distros and wasted some good minutes before realizing it was full of crap.
Most of the internet was already BS before 'working' LLMs, where do you think the models learned it from? I think what you want is a crap detector, and I'm with you. Any ideas good ideas and I'll donate my time to work on it.
For me it's uBlacklist with my personal list in front and some github page I found after.
FYI Kagi has an integrated Blocker/Upranker/Downranker similar to this. Under their stats page you can see, which domains have been blockes/raised/... the most.
The most hated one by far: Pinterest and all locale-specific sub-domains.
Oh cool!
That's only for google though.
That's the reason why ai search engines like bing are so bad, it's based on top results that are the same crap.
I think at some point we will have to introduce human confirmation from creator side.
I don't mind someone using chatgpt as a tool to write better articles, but most of internet is sensles bs.
Unfortunately, even OpenAI themselves took down their AI detection tool because it was too inaccurate. It's really, REALLY hard to detect AI writing with current technology, so any such addon would probably need to use a master list of articles that are manually flagged by human.
If you could detect AI authored stuff, couldn't you use that to train your LLM?
Suspect it would operate more on the basis of a person confirming that the article is of reasonable quality & accuracy.
So not unlike editors selecting what to publish, what to reject & what to send back for improvements.
If good articles by AI get accepted & poor articles by people get rejected, there may still be impacts, but at face value it might be sufficient for us seeking to read stuff.
It could be used to create a reward model like what is done right now with RLHF.
That said, it should actually be possible to make a bullshit detector that detects bullshit writing.

I literally just saw this pop up in my Mastodon feed a few minutes ago, funny enough. I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, but I would imagine that's something akin to what you're looking for.
You cannot use AI to detect AI. That would defeat the entire purpose.
Have got fairly good at spotting these from the first few lines, but it would be nice to not bother clicking on them in the first place & better again if they didn't clog up my search results.
Back when it was just humans churning out rubbish, there was far less of it in the way of good information, but it helped enormously that search engines still respected operands.
Bringing that back would likely help far more than a detector extension.
I know there's GPT Zero. I personally don't trust it at all, but you could still look into it
I dunno how to follow this in lemmy...
you can't follow it but you can save it with the star icon and come back to it later.
Note the remindme bot uses an allowlist and this community isnt in it, youd have to get your community mods to request it gets added in the repository if you want to use it here
moar A .I.
Another thought: does it really matter if it's AI generated or not? As long as you can fact-check the content and the quality isn't horrible, I don't see why it matters if it's written by a real person or not
